Bar inventory

[nightowlstudio]

Hi we run a small bar with packaged items, pours and cocktails.  Does anyone have any clue how to track inventory of spirits etc?  I can track all packaged beer no problem.  Wine I can track by the bottle however once we open a bottle to sell by the glass it obviously puts our stock level out.  Further there appears to be no way to record inventory for spirits by the measure (30mL/15mL).  I could only track the number of unopened bottles I have.
Anyone with more insight.  Thank you 🙂

Hi @nightowlstudio!

Yes, you can achieve this using Square’s stock conversion feature. This lets you track inventory for items sold in multiple units - like bottles, glasses, or individual servings. You can create custom sell-by units (e.g., “glass” or “shot”) with tailored names or abbreviations to help with service.

You'll initially set this up in your Square Dashboard, but sell-by units can be edited or deleted directly from the Square app.

To use stock conversion, you'll need an active Square for Retail or Square for Restaurants Plus or Premium subscription. 

Check out our Support Article to learn more about using stock conversion.
