➪ Smart Inventory

Nothing is worse than getting yourself all hyped up over a recipe only to find you’re missing the essentials, spirits, mixers, or garnishes to turn your daydream into a reality. Luckily, BarBack keeps track of the inventory you have on hand and makes suggestions to help get you closer to what you have in mind.

Let’s say you’re craving a Seven & Seven and don’t have Canadian whiskey. Just go to the inventory tab and put a check mark next to what you do have on-hand - bourbon, for example! BarBack automatically changes the main ingredient in the recipe book for you. Boom! You still get your cocktail without the expensive trip to the grocery store!

BarBack doesn’t care if you have a certain name or label on any of the ingredients in question. “Rum” could mean your favorite brand, or just the store brand that you happen to have on hand, so what matters is the drink - not the name. Think of it like a built-in smart substitution you can do yourself. BarBack focuses on making sure your cocktail experience is as simple as possible, so you will find no brand snobbery here!

⋆ Easily browse and select what you have on-hand.
⋆ Smart substitutions if you’re missing an ingredient.
⋆ Detailed ingredient options (over 200)!
⋆ Covers everything you could need, from the alcohol to the garnishes, and even the glasses!

You’ve got drinks to try and nights to live up. So, why waste another minute on clunky websites and poorly designed apps that are a pain to navigate and barely help? You’ll end up spending all night on your phone instead of having fun. Download the BarBack app today and enjoy a clear, straight-forward experience that looks great and is fun to use!

I loved the original app from years and years ago. Used it almost daily as a beginning bartender, and loved scrolling through all of the drinks. I almost cried when I saw there was an updated version finally! I'm so happy. Bartenders or your average Joe making a drink need a simplistic layout that's easy to use, responsive, and organized. Not a tutti fruity app that shows you 500 different life stories about a drink and a UI cluttered with unnecessary distracions. 10/10 couldn't be happier

Missing ingredients in the custom recipes. I've been using barback for years now and I genuinely appreciate it's utility. But recently I've been trying to add my own recipes and I've run into the issue that the drink recipe builder doesn't have some ingredients (like egg - white) or processes (like dry shaking) in the list. I don't know if it is intentional, but it is really annoying. So they lost a star for it.

If you’re looking for a simple app, BarBack is easy to use. The app takes inventory by bottle, case, or weight, making it versatile for whatever inventory count works best for your bar. This is very impressive looking & handy to control as well as. I love this application too much. You can also try this application & enjoy the features.
