How do I set up BarBrain after logging in for the first time?

This describes how to set up BarBrain properly, including areas, sub-areas and adding products.

To set up BarBrain properly for your venue, follow these steps:

1. Create areas:

Create all the relevant areas of your venue, e.g.:

  • Food: for all food and ingredients.
  • Drinks: for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
  • Non-food products: for paper goods, empties and consumables.

  • Kitchen: split into Cold storage, Dry store and Cooking area.

3. Add products:

  • Pick products from the BarBrain catalogue or add your own.

Make sure all areas and sub-areas are set up correctly before you start your first stocktake.
