Food Inventory
I know that there is an option to input food for inventory, but it seems as a side thought. It would be great if you would allow the users to be able to input their food items and be able to put the measurements in based on the size of the canister or package. Not just have the standard mL, L, oz, gal sizes
33 votesWe are currently looking into small changes that we can introduce quickly that will improve food inventory. At the moment, you can still get an accurate PO for a food product by inputting the size/weight of the item in the Product Name, regardless of what container and capacity you set.

Two user levels. "User" and "Admin". One for employees and one for management.
It would be nice to have a standard user level for all of our bartenders to do inventory without having access to reports or editing. This way any employee could use the system to input inventory. And have an "admin" level for management to edit, delete, run/view reports, "finish inventory", etc. This way the client would have more security on the higher level functions.
p.s. Love the system so far! You guys did a great job developing this software!!
13 votesHi!
We currently have limited user permissions, with the plan to build out more.
At the moment, “Admins” can add and remove users, and view and update billing information.
An Admin can also request access for any user to be able to reset inventory levels to zero.
Let us know if you would like to update access for any of your users!
Thank you,

A "lock" button for the level indicator
Sometimes when I swipe to the next bottle, I accidentally change the liquor level. A button that would lock in the liquor level would help.

Visible distinction between counted and not-yet-counted bottles in current session
Use shading, checkboxes, etc. Our staff is always getting pulled away or distracted. Would be very helpful if partender could help them remember where they left off.

Save "Analytics" report
Allow me to save a "analytics" report, as in save the brands I choose so that I can later choose "Vodkas" and my vodkas come up or "all" and everything comes up. And I can change the dates I want.

Inventory search
Ability to search inventory too see if certain bottle in stock quickly.
8 votesHi,
The best way to see if a bottle is in stock is to 1) search for the product in the Analytics page to view the most recent count, or 2) review the most recent inventory report, which breaks down quantity on hand per Area (so you can see how much you have in different locations throughout the venue).
We will review adding a search feature in the application.
Thank you,

Craft Beer Kegs
Not an idea as much as a request..
We have 12 tap handles of rotating craft beer, which none of the popular craft brewers are in your database, but the problem I have is creating and removing a craft beer easily. I dont need a par on something that I may only buy once. Please update the database for beer and make it easy to turn off a product once it has been consumed.8 votesHi,
It is very fast and simple to swipe and delete a product while taking inventory if it has been entirely consumed. And there is no need to set a par or distributor if you are not going to reorder the item.
However, we believe that most customers struggle with adding new products and quickly setting the Brand data (prices, etc.).
We are currently working on a better/easier way to create new products and quickly input the desired Brand data.
Let us know if you have more suggestions or feedback!
Thank you,

Keg measurements
Are we really supposed to line up how full we think a keg is? This is AWESOME for bottles where we can see how full they are, but there's gotta be a better way to implement keg weights.
8 votesHi,
Please review our tips for measuring kegs and dark bottles: http://support.partender.com/knowledgebase/articles/489426-how-do-i-take-inventory-of-kegs-or-dark-bottles
We will continue to research better ways to measure kegs more accurately.

Show partial counts on the 'Shelf' screen.
I think it would be a big help to show partial counts on the 'Shelf' screen.
So for example, we have 1.5 bottles of Baileys on the shelf. Currently, when I look in the list it will just show the '1 Full bottles' of for Bailey's.
I like using that screen to verify that my counts are accurate and if it showed partial bottle counts, such as '1.5 Full bottles', it would be very helpful.

Ruler bar on the slide
(To be able to know what you're adding in inventory). A slide ruler with numbers on the side.
Especially when I take my own pics.,.
I know partender has been great about keeping up with most of it, but as a secondary check.
That way MY .4 isn't partender's .6
and such...5 votesHi there,
One of the great advantages of Partender is accuracy, which means getting away from the old-school 10-point system.
With Partender, you are able to set the level to the exact level you see on the bottle image. In the past, you may have thought a certain level on a Grey Goose bottle was .5 when in fact it was .6. Instead of trying to guess what the percentage is, Partender does the math for you!
As long as you set the correct level on the image based on what you see in the physical bottle, the inventory quantity will be accurate. =)
Thank you,

Be able to run inventory report on certain parts of venue
We do a Full inventory once a month, but do only the stock rooms once a week. If I could run an inventory report for my stock rooms separately from the entire venue, it would make weekly ordering much easier. Then when I look at the weekly report spreadsheet I could see exactly what needs to be ordered each week instead of having to scroll through each placement of the stockroom individually.
5 votesHi,
You could take a beginning and ending inventory session on a per Area basis to track usage, however, the total quantity on hand would be aggregate.
If you wanted to set your pars based on only the stock room, you could use the reset to zero feature and only count the stock room for ordering!
Learn more about the reset to zero feature here: http://support.partender.com/knowledgebase/articles/615426-how-do-i-reset-the-counts-levels-to-0

Better units for counting dry goods and food. IE Cases of Bev Naps, pounds of Hamburger
Better units for counting dry goods and food. IE Cases of Bev Naps, pounds of Hamburger.
Currently all units are set up for Beverages3 votesHi,
It’s true – Partender was designed and built for beverage, or liquid capacity. For now, it still works great for anything you want to count by the whole unit.
In the future, we do want to build out more features for food! In the meantime, there are some tricks to still use the existing program for food. Give us a shout if you want to set up a free test account for food. =)

Revamp your beverage inventory tool
There are several emails between Paige and I regarding this issue. It will save us a lot of time to have certain fields be required to fill in when entering a product. When we have month end time and accuracy is of the essence. We find that there are issues with quantities being entered and there is no wholesale value attached. So at the last minute the team is scrambling to locate invoices to see how much a new item was purchased for. As I mentioned to have required fields such as vendor and wholesale value would greatly improve our…
3 votesHi,
I believe this request is for the ability to enter brand data through the app. If so, this is a great idea that we have heard a few times.
There is no planned release date yet, but I believe this update will be added to our roadmap in the near future!
Thank you,

Change the picture set up on bar bottle inventory
On the bar bottle inventory you are only able to see the neck of the bottle. For faster recognition of the bottle I think you should be able to see the whole thing.
3 votesHi,
This is an interesting request. I see what you mean. The keypad pops up on the beer bottles, blocking the image of the bottle.
In the meantime, you can see the name of the product at the top of the screen, but we will review this request and see if can improve this screen view.
Thank you!

Make Partender auto logoff last user
Currently the app retains the login credentials of the previous user doing inventory. This opens it up to misuse, including incorrect attribution of bad inventory numbers. Partender should auto log-off and force each user to enter their own unique user ID and password for every session, or offer a "remember me" option for people who always do the inventory.

Lite version
Would you do a lite version that say kept track of say 150 items, I own a small bar in Prgaue and I love the system, but it's just too much of a cost for us per month. I would be happy to get less details reports and not have food included.
4000czk just too expensive for a small bar here. I would be happy to apy about 1000czk monthly for limited support and a lite version.
Cheers Jonathan.
