We 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.

Hi,

Great idea! As we continue to make improvements to the Purchasing page, we will highly consider the ability to sort invoices.

Thank you,
Team Partender

You can actually generate a Usage report from the Reports page, which allows you to choose any beginning and ending date – not just the different between your most recent 2 inventory sessions. It shows your beginning, ending, purchases, and usage. It even gives you a place to input sales!

Hi,

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,
Team Partender

If you enter invoices into Partender, you can see total value of purchases/invoices for liquor, beer, wine (and any other product type) in your Analytics page. We will also calculate your usage, and cost of goods sold!

Your inventory report also breaks down the total value on on hand for all your products types. Just click the Value on Hand tab!

Hi,

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.

Hi,

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

Hi,

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,
Team Partender

Hi John,

Thank you for your suggestion! We do plan on making improvements to the usage report. We are looking into other ways to help our customer track shrinkage.

Stay tuned for our product release notifications!

Thank you,
Team Partender

Hi Jason,

Adding more filters to the Brands page has been a popular request lately. We will bring this suggestion or our Product team to see when we can fit it into our roadmap.

Thank you!

Hi 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,

Hi there,

It sounds like you’re interested in seeing how much alcohol you used, so you can compare it to how much you sold. This information is in your Usage Report!

Download a Usage Report from the Reports page to see how many bottles, ounces, or shots you used of any product.

Hi Zach,

This is an interesting request. Invoices, as they are set up now in the Purchasing page, should be entered or checked-in once the products are received into the venue.

It’s a good idea to add a “paid” option if payment for received purchases is handled at a later time. We will bring this up to our Product team.

Thank you!

Hi,

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. =)

Thank you,
Team Partender
