BarBrain is designed for fast stocktaking and saves up to 60% of the time compared to traditional methods. Mobile data collection on site and parallel counting in a team drastically reduces the inventory time - inventories often take only half as long as before.

Stocktaking with Hypersoft often requires manual effort and post-processing. Although barcode scanners and scales can be integrated to speed up counts, the process remains time-consuming without these tools.

BarBrain records stocks digitally and reduces human error to a minimum. Automated calculations and exact fill level determination (even for opened units) reduce the error rate to practically zero. Estimates or transposed figures are eliminated, so that precise and reliable inventory data is available at the end.

Hypersoft offers integrated inventory management. With optional inventory equipment (e.g. barcode readers or digital scales), stock can be accurately recorded. However, without such tools, there is a risk of estimation and transcription errors during manual recording, which can affect accuracy.

BarBrain was developed as a mobile inventory app for smartphones and tablets, with an intuitive user interface. Quantities are recorded simply by tapping or swiping - a one-click count for drinks and food makes the process extremely simple. Even open bottles or opened dishes can be precisely indicated using a slider. Duplicate work steps (note-taking and subsequent typing) are completely eliminated, which also makes the application much easier for staff.

Hypersoft is a comprehensive POS system whose inventory module must first be configured and learned. It is mainly operated on a PC (back office) or using a fixed handheld device, which requires familiarization and training. Without additional devices, stocktaking is less intuitive - often printouts or lists are used, which are then transferred to the system.

BarBrain can be flexibly integrated into any business as it can be used independently of the POS system. The app comes with an extensive product catalog with over 20,000 food & beverage items, making the integration of new products child's play. Inventory data can be further processed via Excel export or API so that the inventory results can be easily transferred to existing processes (controlling, merchandise management of other systems).

Hypersoft's inventory is part of a closed all-in-one solution. The software offers numerous interfaces and modules in its own ecosystem (e.g. to financial accounting systems such as DATEV), but no direct connection to external inventory tools - inventory data remains within the Hypersoft back-office world. Although scanners and scales can be integrated on the hardware side, exchange with external systems is limited.

BarBrain creates automatic inventory reports immediately after the count. Clear evaluations are available at the touch of a button - including totals, differences, stock value, shopping lists and even historical comparisons. There is no need for manual recalculation or Excel tables. The analyses are specially tailored to stocktaking so that restaurateurs immediately have a clear overview of their current stock and shrinkage.

Hypersoft provides extensive reporting functions in the back office. Over 100 predefined reports are available for finance, personnel and cost of sales. Inventory data flows into this merchandise management system, allowing order suggestions to be generated, for example. However, evaluations usually have to be drawn manually on the PC; specific inventory reports require know-how and time, as the inventory is only one part of the overall package.

BarBrain can be used on any smartphone or tablet (iOS/Android) - no additional hardware is required. The app allows several people to count simultaneously as a team, even in different warehouse areas at the same time. All entries are synchronized in real time, so there is no need to wait for a free device. The result is a relaxed team that finishes together in less time. 

Hypersoft relies on dedicated cash register hardware and optional inventory equipment. Stocktaking is usually carried out by individual employees one after the other, as the standard solution does not allow several people to work on the same stocktaking process at the same time. If you want to count in parallel, several devices or additional licenses are required. This is often impractical for small teams, as they have to take turns without additional devices.

BarBrain offers transparent subscription packages from €52 per month for any size of business. Even with the Basic tariff, small businesses can carry out unlimited inventories. Larger packages scale according to requirements, right up to enterprise solutions - you only pay for what you need. Expensive special hardware is completely eliminated, which keeps the entry costs low. Thanks to the enormous time savings and avoidance of errors, BarBrain quickly pays for itself and restaurateurs gain back valuable working time. In addition, BarBrain can be tested without obligation (demo and free trial phase), allowing the added value to be tested risk-free.

The purchase of Hypersoft involves a major investment. It is a comprehensive POS software whose price model varies depending on the module and size of the business - prices are usually calculated individually on request. In addition to monthly license fees (a mobile POS terminal, for example, costs around €105 per month plus modules), there are also costs for POS terminals, scanners and support. These running costs can be considerable for smaller businesses.
