About Amistad

Amistad in Munich is all about tapas and wine. A stocktake covers around 300 items, a large share of them wines. That’s exactly what makes it laborious: with every new wine, the list that has to be counted changes.

The starting point: paper chaos and lists that are never finished

Before BarBrain, a stocktake took around 9 hours, spread over several days. Counting was done on paper. Whenever a new wine joined the range, general manager Julius had to update the stock list – with a large wine range, a constant extra effort. For him, stocktaking was one of the most annoying and time-consuming tasks in the venue.

On top of that came the risk of any paper solution: if a sheet gets lost, the count is gone and can’t be reconstructed.

“If something gets lost, it’s gone. It’s irreparable.”– Julius, General manager, Amistad

The rollout: new wines in one or two clicks

With BarBrain’s digital stocktaking app, the stocktake now runs fully digitally. The biggest difference is in the wine range: instead of rebuilding the stock list from scratch for every new product, Julius adds new wines in one or two clicks. Whatever has been counted is stored digitally – a lost sheet can no longer ruin the stocktake.

The result: 3 hours instead of 9

The stocktake now takes around 3 hours instead of 9 – that’s 67% less time. And it no longer drags on over several days; it’s done in a few hours.

The recommendation to other operators

“I recommend BarBrain if you want to save time and nerves on your stocktakes in future.”– Julius, General manager, Amistad

The feature overview shows how stocktaking with BarBrain works in detail. For restaurants and bars, it’s also worth taking a look at Bars & single venues.

Now with BarBrain, everything’s digital, no more paper chaos. Really easy – it no longer takes several days, it’s done in a few hours.
