Wine Bar Inventory Software Built for the Cellar

A wine bar's inventory is its identity. BinWise is wine bar and beverage inventory software that tracks every vintage in your cellar — by producer, appellation, and bin location — with real-time depletion as bottles are poured, purchased records that tie to your cost, and on-hand valuation that tells you what your cellar is worth at any moment.

Barcode Scanning for Wine Labels

BinScan auto-populates your wine inventory from barcode scans — producer name, vintage, appellation, distributor, and pricing from BinWise's wine database. Scan new arrivals as they're received, update counts at opening and closing, and maintain a complete cellar record without manual data entry. Particularly useful for high-SKU cellars with dozens of producers and hundreds of labels.

On-Hand Cellar Valuation — Always Current

Know the current value of your cellar — at cost and at retail — at any moment. BinWise calculates your wine inventory valuation in real time as bottles are received, poured, and depleted. Give your owner, your investor, or your insurance company an accurate cellar valuation without a physical count.

By-the-Glass Program Management and Live Digital Wine List

Your by-the-glass program is where your wine bar makes its margin. BinWise tracks every BTG pour — depletion, pour cost, glass vs. bottle revenue — and publishes your wine list as a live digital menu.

Live Digital Wine List

BinWise publishes your wine list as a live, scannable digital menu — accessible via QR code at every table, updated in real time as your cellar changes. Guests browse by region, producer, or varietal. Trusted by The French Laundry, Daniel's, Bouchon, Eleven Madison Park, and Carbone.

Reports That Show You How Your Wine Program Is Performing

BinWise gives wine bar operators the financial visibility to run a profitable wine program — pour cost by wine and by vintage, BTG margin analysis, variance between theoretical and actual usage, and cellar valuation reports — without assembling them from spreadsheets.

Variance Report

Compare theoretical vs. actual wine usage across your full cellar and BTG program. BinWise flags the gap between what your POS says was sold and what your inventory shows was depleted. Find over-pouring, pour size inconsistency, and unauthorized consumption before they accumulate into a month-end write-off.

Cellar Valuation and P&L Report

A complete financial snapshot of your wine bar's cellar: on-hand bottle count, cost value, retail value, and movement over any period. Give your owner, your accountant, or your investor an accurate picture of what your cellar is worth and how it's performing — exportable in one click.

Pour Cost by Wine

Your actual pour cost percentage for every wine on your BTG list — by glass and by bottle. See which wines are hitting your target margin and which are eroding it. Adjust pricing, rotate wines, or renegotiate with your distributor based on actual cost data, not estimated margins from your order invoices.

POS & System Integrations

BinWise uses Avero to connect to your POS system. Toast, TouchBistro, Lightspeed, Square - these are just some of the 50 different POS systems that BinWise can be integrated with. Importing your data into BinWise allows for in-depth reporting and analysis that has never been easier.

Works With Your Wine Bar POS System

BinWise integrates with 30+ point-of-sale and accounting systems — including the POS platforms most widely used in wine bars and wine restaurants. Every glass sold at your POS updates your BinWise cellar inventory in real time, keeping your BTG depletion tracking, pour cost calculations, and variance reports current throughout service.

Accounting and Distributor Export

Push cellar valuation, COGS data, and purchase invoices from BinWise to your accounting system. Export purchasing data for your wine distributor reconciliation. Give your accountant clean, itemized wine program cost data without manual spreadsheet assembly at month-end.

Works With Toast, Square, Lightspeed & More

BinWise works with the POS systems wine bars and wine restaurants actually use — including Toast, Square, Lightspeed, Revel, and 25+ more. If your current system isn't listed, contact us — we add new integrations regularly.

Recipe Costing for Wine-Paired Menus and Small Plates

BlueCart calculates recipe costs for your wine bar's food program using live ingredient prices from your actual food suppliers. When a supplier changes their price, every dish cost recalculates automatically. Know the true cost of your charcuterie board, your cheese selection, and your small plates menu before you price them — and before they hit your P&L.

Food and Beverage Inventory Tracking

BlueCart tracks real-time food stock for your wine bar's kitchen — cheese, charcuterie, produce, and specialty food items — with automated reorder alerts and direct supplier ordering. Inventory updates as orders are placed, received, and used. For wine bars with rotating food menus tied to wine programs, BlueCart's food tracking integrates with BinWise's wine inventory to give you complete beverage and food cost visibility.

Food Supplier Management and Digital Purchase Orders

BlueCart connects your wine bar's food purchasing to all your food vendors — cheese mongers, charcuterie producers, specialty importers, and produce suppliers — with digital purchase orders, delivery tracking, and invoice matching. For wine bistros with curated food programs where supplier relationships are as important as wine relationships, BlueCart creates a single procurement workflow for your entire F&B operation.

Wine Bar Software for Every Type of Wine-Forward Venue

Whether you run a 20-seat natural wine bar with a tightly curated list or a 200-seat wine bistro with 500 labels and a full kitchen program, BinWise scales to match your wine program.

Wine Bars & Natural Wine Bars

Cellar management for curated, small-production wine programs — including natural, biodynamic, and orange wines where vintage consistency and producer stories matter as much as the list. Live digital wine lists via SproutQR keep your guests informed as selections change. BTG depletion alerts prevent you from pouring the last bottle you meant to keep.

Wine Retail & Hybrid Wine Bar/Shops

For operators who combine retail wine sales with by-the-glass and bottle service — BinWise tracks your retail inventory and your on-premise program separately, with accurate depletion records for each. Know your retail sellthrough vs. your on-premise usage, and order from your distributors accordingly.

Wine Bistros & Enotecas

Full cellar management alongside a food program — wine inventory, small plates recipe costing, and food supplier management in one platform. BinWise manages your wine cellar while BlueCart manages your kitchen. From aperitivo hour through dinner service, your wine and food costs are tracked together.

Wine Restaurants & Sommelier-Led Programs

For restaurants where the wine program is the primary differentiator — extensive cellar programs, vintage-depth selections, sommelier table service, and by-the-glass programs that rotate weekly. BinWise gives your sommelier team the operational tools to run the list as a business, not just as a curation exercise.
