How do I structure my area in BarBrain?

A clear structure in your area helps you save time and makes the inventory more efficient. Here are some tips on how to organise your area effectively:
​

1. Arrange products in a logical order

When carrying out your inventory, you probably always start in the same place and work your way through the area systematically. Therefore, you should:

• ‍Arrange products in the right order: Order the products as you move through the area — from left to right or from front to back.
• ‍Example: If the inventory starts at the left of the storage shelf and moves to the right, the products in BarBrain should be listed in the same order.

Benefit: You need to scroll and search less during the inventory — this saves a huge amount of time.

​

2. Define fixed places for products

We recommend that products always stand in the same location. This applies both in BarBrain and physically in your area.

• ‍Fixed product placements save time: When items are always in the same place, you spend less time searching — both during the inventory and in day-to-day operations.‍
• Avoid frustration: A fixed placement creates order and makes it easier for colleagues to find items quickly.

​

3. Review areas regularly

Take time regularly to review and reorganise your area:

• ‍Remove unused products: Keep your stock current so you don’t count unnecessary items.‍
• Sort in new products immediately: Add new products to the right place straight away to avoid clutter.

​

4. Tip for multiple areas

If you have several areas (e.g. Storage, Bar, Refrigeration), stick to a consistent structure that works for every area. This makes navigation and daily work easier.

‍

Summary

A well-structured area saves you and your team time and stress. A clear order, fixed placements and regular reviews make both the inventory and everyday operations simpler and more efficient.
