00:00:02,600 this is Jamie with Bar I
00:00:04,200 and this video is part of our why Bar I video series
00:00:06,800 where we address some of the big questions
00:00:08,833 around why you should consider using
00:00:11,200 Bar I for your bar's inventory system
00:00:13,400 in this video
00:00:13,966 we're going to delve into the benefits and discuss
00:00:15,900 why we think
00:00:16,966 using independent expert involvement during the setup
00:00:19,400 and at least during the initial months
00:00:21,366 of implementation is really beneficial
00:00:23,700 so as we talked about in the first video
00:00:26,000 most bars are not measuring what they're selling
00:00:28,300 and comparing it to what they're pouring
00:00:29,766 there's normally a big difference
00:00:31,666 and opportunity to run a more profitable bar
00:00:34,533 so the question is how do we go from a situation
00:00:37,000 where we can't see the performance
00:00:38,566 of individual products
00:00:39,400 we don't have down to the serving
00:00:40,633 we're not looking at individual variances
00:00:42,766 to a situation where we have clarity
00:00:45,033 and accuracy and timeliness to our results
00:00:47,933 basically
00:00:48,966 you need a good software tool and we have that
00:00:51,233 a lot of other competitors do
00:00:52,600 the difference with Bar I is we offer live
00:00:55,433 expert training and setup
00:00:57,600 and also live support every week when you do counting
00:00:59,900 and so the difference is you need technology
00:01:01,866 plus people who know how to use it
00:01:03,600 we can get your staff there
00:01:04,900 but in the short term
00:01:05,833 they're gonna need more assistance
00:01:07,433 so these are the three main benefits of
00:01:10,366 expert involvement is firstly better execution
00:01:14,033 so the overall accuracy confidence
00:01:17,633 timeliness of results are gonna be better
00:01:19,866 when you've got
00:01:21,166 someone working you through the system
00:01:23,000 who's done this many
00:01:24,766 times before
00:01:25,066 the next benefit is a better experience
00:01:27,066 for you and your staff
00:01:28,166 so if you try and figure out a complicated system
00:01:30,766 it's gonna probably be a poor experience
00:01:32,700 as you figure out things by doing them
00:01:34,366 making mistakes redoing things with Bar I
00:01:38,633 we do a series of live
00:01:39,833 zoom meetings to train your staff
00:01:41,466 so that they are doing the right things
00:01:42,900 in the right order and we check each
00:01:45,266 step before we move on to the next one
00:01:47,166 so that we're not wasting time
00:01:48,833 and overall
00:01:49,866 it's still bar inventory
00:01:50,833 so it might not be the most exciting
00:01:52,033 but your staff will overall
00:01:53,033 have a much better experience when they're doing it
00:01:54,700 working live
00:01:56,000 with someone that knows what they're doing
00:01:57,333 and the other one is effectiveness
00:01:58,633 so we need to get accurate results
00:02:01,166 but we need to then
00:02:02,200 use them to manage the staff and perform
00:02:04,833 better and
00:02:08,100 one of the ways we do that is
00:02:09,433 we provide a video report
00:02:10,433 which coaches you reviews the results each week
00:02:11,966 and suggests
00:02:12,866 what we need to do in order to see better improvement
00:02:15,266 but when you've got someone to help you
00:02:17,400 produce the results you use up
00:02:18,966 less energy
00:02:20,200 and so we get results quickly and you can use
00:02:23,233 your time
00:02:24,233 and energy in using results to improve performance
00:02:26,166 not spinning your wheels and trying to get
00:02:28,666 accurate numbers
00:02:30,966 wanted to quickly give you a better
00:02:32,466 idea of how this works in practice
00:02:33,900 to talk about the different tasks that our expert
00:02:36,766 account managers do and then talk about
00:02:38,566 when you get to the point where you
00:02:39,600 perhaps don't need as much support
00:02:41,233 down the road so in terms of the setup
00:02:43,600 we work with your managers to set up the counting map
00:02:46,366 so that it's very fast to do counts
00:02:48,833 we help them to add new items
00:02:50,266 and double check that any new items
00:02:53,666 are checked and all the settings are correct
00:02:55,400 so we'll calculate correctly
00:02:56,966 most of the items
00:02:57,600 you'll look up from our database of 35,000 items
00:03:00,033 but the number of local products
00:03:02,166 we might have to add those
00:03:04,500 we will put in prices
00:03:05,833 according to your purchase price for all of your items
00:03:07,800 so you're not doing boring data entry
00:03:09,166 and update those as you purchase those items
00:03:11,766 through your invoices we will help you set up your
00:03:14,233 integration of your point of sale
00:03:15,433 so we determine the glassware portioning
00:03:18,500 signature drink recipes
00:03:20,366 sometimes we have to make updates to the point of sale
00:03:22,200 we recommend what needs to be done there
00:03:23,666 and then we code all those recipes into the system
00:03:26,366 on a weekly basis we enter your invoices for you
00:03:29,433 we write new recipes for any newly created buttons
00:03:32,166 we resolve issues with the master list
00:03:33,966 like when you get confused between the Blanco and the
00:03:36,100 reposado or when there's two different versions
00:03:37,966 of the same item that have been created
00:03:41,100 if you get confused between the IPA and the
00:03:44,033 amber when you're counting products
00:03:46,400 we had that this week that you know
00:03:48,266 we're able to get to the bottom of
00:03:49,866 and we account for communication exceptions
00:03:52,166 so when the owner takes something home
00:03:53,600 or we have to lend something out
00:03:54,633 or we sub one thing for the other
00:03:57,500 we choose which items need to be double checked
00:03:59,633 and present those to you in your variance report
00:04:01,166 so you just need to do the checks
00:04:02,366 but you don't have to think which items to check
00:04:04,100 cause we've helped you do that
00:04:05,366 when you respond
00:04:06,100 we reconcile those suggestions so we make updates
00:04:08,266 we interpret those to make sure that they are
00:04:11,100 our numbers are being adjusted
00:04:12,433 in a sensible and appropriate way
00:04:13,900 that reflects reality and we provide detailed
00:04:16,600 coaching and feedback via a live video
00:04:18,666 every time you complete your audit
00:04:20,600 and then there is obviously a cost to the live support
00:04:25,000 but in the long term
00:04:26,066 you can decide whether you want to continue using
00:04:29,066 our Account Manager services
00:04:30,666 and enjoy the benefits that support provides
00:04:32,700 that we list at the start of this video
00:04:34,233 or you can consider going self service
00:04:36,500 where you save obviously on the service fees
00:04:38,166 just pay the the software license fee
00:04:41,066 and also you can mix and match the two so for instance
00:04:44,433 if you're doing self service
00:04:45,700 and you're going on vacation for a couple of weeks
00:04:47,800 maybe your stand in counter
00:04:49,600 needs a little bit of extra help
00:04:50,700 we can do that if you have a transition of managers
00:04:53,766 then maybe as that new manager comes in
00:04:55,666 they're gonna need more help
00:04:56,633 maybe you might go back to using managed services
00:04:59,000 and then maybe once that manager finds their feet
00:05:00,766 you can then go back to self service
00:05:02,433 but the idea is
00:05:03,300 you will not have such a good level of execution
00:05:06,033 and such a good experience
00:05:07,066 if you don't get live expert help
00:05:09,933 and we should solve the problem first
00:05:12,033 and then think about how much
00:05:13,466 help you need in the long term
00:05:14,800 and optimise that
00:05:16,033 but don't start by trying to do it all your own
00:05:18,933 and do a complicated task
00:05:20,266 cause you will have a poor result
00:05:21,866 a poor experience
00:05:23,066 and you'll be costing yourself money in the
00:05:24,700 meantime hope that makes sense
00:05:27,033 as always thank you for watching
00:05:28,366 and let us know if there's any other discussion topics
00:05:30,400 you'd like to see thank you
