What you get

Everything you need to control your bar inventory

Count inventory in minutes

Scan the barcode, set the bottle on the scale. A full bar count goes from hours of manual work to minutes.

Know exactly what's left

Measure every open bottle in millilitres instead of estimating tenths by eye.

Calibrate once

Record a bottle's full and empty weight once. Every count after that is automatic.

See every storage area

Count the main bar, back bar and storeroom separately while seeing one complete inventory.

Know what's on hand

Every published count updates on-hand by area, so you know how many bottles you have and where.

Part of MarginX

Bar counts live alongside kitchen inventory, recipes and labour — one login, one system.

Real insights

Know what's left in every bottle.

MarginX turns every weighed bottle into millilitres and rolls each published count into on-hand, by bottle and by storage area, so you know exactly what you have and where it is.

  • Measure every open bottle

    Partial bottles are weighed to the ml, not guessed in tenths by eye.

  • See stock in every area

    Main bar, back bar and storeroom on their own, and totalled for the location.

  • Counts that hold

    Each count is time-stamped when it's taken. Recalibrating a bottle later never rewrites a published count.

Frequently asked questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

Everything you need to know about the MarginX smart scale and liquor inventory.

How does the smart scale work?

Scan the bottle's barcode and set it on the scale. MarginX already knows that bottle's full and empty weight, so it turns the reading into the millilitres left and adds it to the count for the storage area you're counting.

Can it accurately measure partial bottles?

Yes. Each bottle is calibrated once — its full and empty weight — and every open bottle after that is measured by weight, to the ml, instead of estimated in tenths by eye. A published count keeps its numbers even if you recalibrate a bottle later.

Does it connect to my POS system?

Not for bar counts yet. Bar inventory doesn't pull POS sales today, so it doesn't calculate sold-vs-counted variance. Elsewhere in MarginX, Clover sales import automatically for sales reporting and forecasting.

Can I track multiple storage areas (Main Bar, Back Bar, Storeroom)?

Yes. Each count covers one area, and on-hand is kept per area — so you see what's in the main bar, back bar and storeroom separately, and the total across all of them.

Can I use it across multiple locations?

Yes. Every location counts and keeps its own on-hand, and all your locations share one bottle catalog — so a bottle is set up and calibrated once for the whole group.

What bottles and sizes does it support?

Any bottle with a barcode, in any size — you record its volume in ml and calibrate it once. One product can carry several barcodes, and a barcode that isn't in your catalog yet can be linked to an existing bottle or added as a new one.
