FAQ

Barventory helps bars count drinks using voice, making it easier to maintain par levels and track stock on hand.

Bar, restaurant, and lounge owners, managers, and bartenders who perform stock counts.

No. It's as simple as talking to your stock—just say the drink name and quantity.

No. Only invited users can access the app.

An admin must invite you by email.

No. Only admins can change user roles.

Super Admin, Admin, Manager, Bartender, and Guest.

Yes. Access to venues and bars is controlled by assignments and permissions, while the user has one active role.

Each user can perform only the actions allowed by their assigned role and permissions.

Manage users, drinks, bars, and reports under the supervision of the Super Admin.

The Super Admin is the highest-level administrator of a tenant (company account) and manages roles, permissions, venues, and bars.

No. Each user has one active role at a time, but they can be assigned to multiple venues and bars.

When a user is upgraded to a higher role, that role and its permissions apply to all venues and bars the user has access to—both existing and newly assigned ones.

For example, upgrading a Manager to Admin for a new venue will make them Admin across all previously assigned venues and bars as well.

The user keeps their current higher role and permissions. Only access to the newly assigned venue or bar is added. A warning is shown before confirming the change.

This prevents accidental loss of permissions and avoids breaking active operations across venues and bars.

For a clean and predictable setup, invite a new user with a different email address.

To truly downgrade an existing user, revoke their current assignments first, then assign the new lower role.

All role assignments and permissions are managed under Super Admin supervision.

You say the drink name and quantity, and Barventory records it instantly.

Yes. Voice recognition requires an active internet connection.

You can manually search for the drink or say part of its name. For example, say "Havana" instead of "Club Havana 3" or "Blue Label" instead of "Johnnie Walker Blue Label." The system is designed to handle different accents and flexible naming.

Drinks can only be added by uploading or importing a CSV file from the inventory screen (authorized person only).

Create a CSV file with these required columns:

• drink_name (exact name printed on the bottle label)
• par_quantity (number greater than 0)
• category (Vodka, whisky, rum, Mezcal, Gin...)
• unit (1L, 750 ML, 70 CL, ...)

CSV header format:

drink_name,par_quantity,category,unit

Example row:

Absolut Vodka,3,Vodka,1L

Save the file as CSV UTF-8 (Comma delimited).

Tip: Use exact bottle names (for example, Johnnie Walker Black Label). A clean CSV ensures better imports and improved voice recognition.
