Cut your weekly bar count from 3 hours to 30 minutes.
We set up a simple bar inventory system for you in 7 days. Count from your phone, see exactly what to reorder, and finally know where your pour cost is going.
No new hardware. Set up in a week. Money-back guarantee on setup.
Sound familiar?
Most independent bars still count on a clipboard or a spreadsheet. It works, until it doesn't.
Counts eat your Sunday
Two to four hours a week with a clipboard, then more time typing it all into a spreadsheet.
Ordering is guesswork
Cases of slow movers pile up while you run out of the house pour on a Friday night.
Pour cost is a mystery
Without clean counts week to week, you can't see over-pouring, waste or missing bottles.
Up and running in 7 days
You keep running your restaurant. We do the setup work.
Send us your old count sheets
A spreadsheet or even a photo of your clipboard. We convert it into the system, splitting full and partial bottles, and flag anything to check.
We set everything up
Items, sections, pars and suppliers, plus your automatic reorder list and weekly owner report. Tested on your real numbers.
Count in minutes
We train your team and stand beside them for the first live count. From then on, counts are fast and your order is written for you.
Everything your bar needs, nothing it doesn't
Count from your phone
Walk the bar, tap in full and partial bottles, kegs and boxes. No clipboard, no retyping.
Automatic reorder list
Every count compares stock to your pars and tells you exactly what to order.
Supplier orders written by AI
Your order is grouped by supplier and drafted as an email. You review it and hit send.
Weekly owner report
A plain-English summary every Monday: what was used, what was ordered, what to watch.
Your data stays yours
Cancel any time after the first 3 months and we'll export everything to a spreadsheet for you.
Local setup and training
We're in Vancouver. We train your staff on-site and answer support questions the same business day.
If it only saves your manager two hours a week, it's already worth it.
Everything we help you catch on over-ordering and pour cost is profit on top.

A one-time setup, then a simple monthly plan
Pricing depends on the size of your bar. We'll give you a fixed quote after a 15-minute chat.

Built locally, for real bars
Hi, I'm [Your name]. I started stAI Ahead after seeing how much time Vancouver bar managers lose to clipboards and spreadsheets. I build simple AI-powered systems that take the boring work off your plate, set them up for you, and stick around to make sure they work.
Inventory is where we start. Once it's running, we can help with the rest: review replies, event inquiries, kitchen inventory and more.
Questions owners ask
Do I need new hardware?
No. Your team counts on the phones or tablets you already have.
How long does a count take?
It depends on the size of your bar, but our goal is to cut your current count time at least in half. That's what our guarantee is based on.
What if my staff won't use it?
Training is included and we're there for the first live count. Counting on a phone is faster than a clipboard, which usually wins people over. If a manager changes, we'll retrain the new one.
Who owns our data?
You do. If you ever cancel, we export all of it to a spreadsheet for you.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Monthly plans have a 3-month minimum, then they're month to month.
