Beverage Inventory Built for the Most Demanding Restaurant Operations

Whether you manage a 50-bottle by-the-glass program at a neighborhood bistro or a 5,000-bottle cellar at a Michelin-starred restaurant, BinWise tracks every vintage, every pour cost, and every variance — automatically, in real time, linked to your POS. From speed rail to sommelier cellar, every bottle in your operation is accounted for.

Wine Cellar & Sommelier-Grade Tracking

Vintage-level cost tracking, sommelier reporting, bin location management, and BTG margin optimization — the wine program management tools built for restaurants where every detail is scrutinized. Trusted by The French Laundry, Daniel, Bouchon, EMP, and Carbone. BinWise powers live digital wine lists via SproutQR at all five restaurants.

Multi-Location Inventory Dashboard

Track inventory across all your restaurant locations from one BinWise account — consolidated across the group or granular by location. Compare inventory variance, purchasing, and cost data location-by-location to identify which venues are running tight operations and which need attention, before the P&L meeting.

Premium Spirits & Cellar Management

Track every bottle in your premium whiskey, bourbon, and wine program with the cost precision that high-ticket products demand. BinWise tracks depletion by product, by bottle, and by vintage — so you always know the true cost of your most expensive pours. Set variance alerts for your top-shelf selections and find shrinkage before it compounds.

Mobile BinScan — Speed Rail to Walk-In

BinScan lets your restaurant team count the full bar and beverage inventory — from the speed rail to the walk-in cooler — with a phone camera. No clipboards. No manual entry. Save up to 85% of the time your team currently spends on bar inventory counts. Works for a single full-service restaurant or 50 locations simultaneously.

For restaurant groups and chains, BinWise gives head office teams visibility into purchasing and cost data across every location simultaneously.

Supplier Ordering & Invoice Matching

Order from all your beverage distributors in BlueCart. Match invoices automatically against purchase orders — flagging discrepancies before you pay. No paperwork, no reconciliation gaps at month-end. Works across single locations and multi-location groups.

Reports That Give You Financial Clarity Across Every Venue and Every Location

BinWise's reports give restaurant operators, wine directors, and F&B directors real-time visibility into the numbers that matter — pour cost, variance, and COGS — at the product level, the location level, or rolled up across the group. The reporting your ownership group wants, produced automatically from your BinWise data.

Variance Report

Compare theoretical vs. actual beverage usage across every product and every location. BinWise flags the gap between what your POS says you sold and what your cellar shows was depleted — by product, by shift, by outlet, or across the group. Find shrinkage, over-pouring, and invoice discrepancies before they compound.

SmartView Report

Every beverage product's actual cost as a percentage of revenue — so you know at a glance which pours are contributing to your margin and which are eroding it. Run it across a single location for granular product decisions or across your full group for portfolio pricing decisions.

Wine Program P&L Report

Pour cost by vintage, BTG margin analysis, and cellar valuation for your fine dining or hotel wine program. The report your head sommelier needs for the monthly P&L review — and that your ownership group needs for investment decisions on your wine cellar.

POS & System Integrations

With integrations for over 30 different point of sales systems. Importing your data into BinWise allows for in-depth reporting and analysis that has never been easier.

Integrates With Every Tool Across Your Restaurant Operation

BinWise connects with 30+ point-of-sale systems — so every sale at every location automatically updates your inventory depletion, your pour cost calculation, and your variance reports in real time. Your restaurant supply chain data — from POS sale to inventory update to purchase order to invoice reconciliation — flows through one connected platform without manual intervention.

Automatic Sales-to-Inventory Sync

Every sale at your POS updates BinWise inventory in real time — across every location, every outlet, every bar. No manual imports. No nightly batch updates. Your cost data is always current because your sales data is always current.

Multi-Location POS Management

Running different POS systems at different locations? BinWise integrates with all of them simultaneously — so your group-level inventory, variance, and purchasing data is always consolidated regardless of which POS each location uses.

Accounting & Invoice Export

Push COGS data, purchasing invoices, and variance reports to your accounting system. Give your CFO or controller clean, reconciled numbers every period without manual re-entry. Works for single-location operators and multi-entity restaurant groups.

Real-Time Depletion Alerts Across Your Group

Set par levels for every product at every location. BinWise alerts you — or the location manager — the moment any product hits its reorder threshold. No location runs out of a product without the right person knowing in advance.

Food Inventory & Recipe Costing — Connected to Live Supplier Pricing

BlueCart calculates recipe costs using live ingredient prices from your actual suppliers — so when a supplier changes their price, every recipe that uses that ingredient automatically recalculates its cost. Actual vs. theoretical food cost analysis surfaces where gaps come from: waste, portion variance, or ingredient price changes. For restaurant groups, food costs are visible across every location simultaneously.

Restaurant Procurement & Digital Purchase Orders

BlueCart creates and processes digital purchase orders for all your food suppliers — assigned to the correct vendor, tracked through delivery, and matched against invoices automatically. Your procurement team has full visibility into what was ordered, at what price, from which supplier, and whether it was delivered as specified. No paper, no email chains, no missed deliveries.

Multi-Location Chain Procurement & Spend Management

BlueCart gives head office teams control over approved supplier lists and contract pricing while giving individual site managers the tools to order within those parameters. Every PO is tracked. Every invoice is matched. Procurement spend is visible — by location, by supplier, or across the group. No off-contract purchasing slips through.

Invoice Matching, Approval Workflows & COGS Visibility

Every food invoice is matched against the corresponding PO — flagging price and quantity discrepancies before payment is approved. Approval workflows route invoices through the right people before any funds are released. The result: clean, reconciled food cost data that your accountant can use immediately and your ownership group can trust.
