I built this because I needed it myself

I own a bar. A real one — with sticky floors on Saturday nights, a cooler that makes a weird noise, and a stack of supplier invoices that haunted me every single week.

Every Sunday I'd sit down with a coffee, open Excel, and start typing. Singha, 24 bottles, ฿840. Chang, 12 bottles, ฿560. Leo, 48 cans... you know the drill. Two to three hours, every single week. And that's before I could even start figuring out if I was actually making money.

I'd wonder things like "Am I actually profitable this month?" or "Did my vodka supplier just quietly raise prices?" — but getting those answers meant another hour buried in spreadsheets. So most of the time, I just... didn't look. I ran my bar on gut feeling and hoped for the best.

Sound familiar? Yeah. I thought so.

I talked to other bar owners — friends in Bangkok, mates back in Sweden, people I'd met at trade shows. Every single one had the same story. The invoices. The guessing. The "I think we're doing okay?" while secretly worrying at 2 AM.

So I built BarMentor. Not as some corporate product with a fancy marketing budget. I built it at my kitchen table, fuelled by the same frustration you feel right now. I built it because I wanted my Sundays back — and I figured you probably want yours back too.

I use BarMentor in my own bar, every single day. If it's not good enough for my business, it's not good enough for yours. That's the promise.

The Problem

I know exactly what's eating your time

Because I lived it. Every week. For years. Until I decided enough was enough.

📋

Invoice Hell

Typing invoices into Excel line by line. Every supplier, every delivery, every week. It's the most soul-crushing part of running a bar — and it never ends.

2-3 hours lost every week

🤷

Flying Blind

"Am I making money?" shouldn't be a hard question. But when your data lives across five spreadsheets and a shoebox of receipts, it somehow is.

Most owners don't know their real margins

💸

Silent Price Creep

Suppliers sneak in a 5% increase, then another. By the time you notice, you've overpaid hundreds — maybe thousands. Nobody's watching. Until now.

£500+ in hidden overcharges typical

🍾

Running Out on Friday Night

There's no worse feeling than telling a customer you're out of their drink on your busiest night. No alerts, no forecasting — just an empty shelf and a lost sale.

Every stockout = lost revenue + reputation
