What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Fits Your Nightlife Rhythm
Zero Stockouts During Peak Madness
Zero Stockouts During Peak Madness: Picture this: Friday night frenzy with a live band drawing crowds, and your signature cocktails never skip a beat. Our AI spots demand spikes from past DJ events or holidays, ensuring you have enough vodka and tonic for the rush—bars using this see 25% fewer emergency runs to the liquor store, saving 2-3 hours per incident and cutting last-minute delivery fees by $50-100 each time.
Slash Waste and Boost Your Margins
Slash Waste and Boost Your Margins: Overstocked on ginger beer after a slow summer? Not anymore. We tailor forecasts to your seasonal cocktails like Moscow Mules and happy hour hits, cutting excess by up to 35% over a 6-month cycle. That's real cash back in your pocket—up to $2,000 quarterly—for sound systems or staff bonuses, without the guilt of dumping expired stock before health inspections.
Streamline Ops for Smoother Shifts
Streamline Ops for Smoother Shifts: No more late-night inventory tallies pulling bartenders from the floor during closing rushes. Our system automates it all, integrating with your POS for instant updates on bottle levels and keg pressures. Owners report reclaiming 10-15 hours a week, letting you focus on what matters: crafting killer experiences like perfectly timed drink specials that keep guests coming back and boost tips by 15%.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd overbuy cases of prosecco for events and end up with dusty bottles gathering cobwebs in the storeroom. Their custom forecast nailed our projections for last summer's rooftop series with guest DJs—we saved $4,200 on waste over three months and never missed a pour during peak hours. It's like having a crystal ball for our bar's bubbly demands."
Maria Gonzalez
General Manager, Luna Lounge Rooftop Bar
"Our old system couldn't handle the weekend chaos with craft beer taps running dry; we'd run out of IPAs by 11 PM on Saturdays. After implementing their AI six months ago, stock accuracy jumped to 92% for all drafts, and my team stopped scrambling mid-shift. Cut our supplier calls in half—finally, some breathing room to handle the after-work crowd without stress."
Tyler Reed
Owner, Pulse Nightclub and Taproom
"I was skeptical, but this thing predicted our holiday rush down to the last gin bottle for our mulled cocktail specials. Reduced overstock from 40 cases to under 10 in Q4 last year, and our cash flow improved by 18% thanks to better tonic and lime allocations. Wish we'd done this years ago for our themed nights with live trivia."

Beverage Director, Neon Beats Craft Cocktail Bar

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your forecasting handle unpredictable nights like New Year's Eve?
Great question—nights like that are what we live for in the bar world. Our custom AI pulls in your past data from similar high-energy events, plus external inputs like ticket sales or weather forecasts. For one client, it predicted a 40% uptick in champagne needs, avoiding a total sellout. We train the model on your specific patterns, so it's not guessing; it's learning from your history. Setup takes about two weeks, and we fine-tune it post-launch to match your vibe. You're in control, with options to override for those wild-card themes.
Will this integrate with my existing POS system without downtime?
Absolutely, we make integration smooth as a well-poured martini. Whether you're on Toast, Square, or another POS common in bars, our team maps it out first—no ripping out what works. We use secure APIs for two-way data flow, so inventory updates in real-time without interrupting service. A nightclub we worked with went live over a quiet Tuesday, zero downtime, and saw instant accuracy boosts. It's all custom-coded to your setup, avoiding the clunky workarounds of generic tools.
What's the cost for a custom solution like this?
Costs vary based on your bar's size and complexity—think a small lounge versus a multi-floor club. We start with a free consult to scope your needs, then quote a one-time build fee around $15K-$40K, depending on integrations. No recurring subs; you own it outright. For context, one owner recouped their investment in four months through reduced waste. We're transparent: we'll break down every feature's value, ensuring it fits your budget without hidden fees.
Can it account for staff training or new menu items?
Yes, that's where our flexibility shines. The AI adapts to variables like new hires who might overpour initially or a fresh cocktail menu that shifts demand. We include modules to input training data or simulate menu changes— for instance, if you add a spicy margarita special, it forecasts tequila needs based on similar past intros. A bar we built this for adjusted mid-season for a viral drink, cutting overstock by 28%. It's built for your evolving operation, with easy updates via our dashboard.
How accurate is the forecasting, and what if it's off?
Accuracy hovers around 90-95% for our clients, far better than manual guesses, because it's tuned to your bar's data—like correlating sales with DJ lineups. If a prediction misses (say, due to an unexpected celeb visit), our system flags variances in real-time and learns from them for next time. We back it with a 30-day optimization guarantee, tweaking as needed. One lounge saw initial 85% accuracy climb to 94% after two cycles. It's not perfect, but it's your best bet against the unpredictability of nightlife.
Is this secure for sensitive inventory data like liquor costs?
Security is non-negotiable in our world of high-value stock. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and PCI for POS ties. Your data stays in a private cloud you control, with role-based access so only key staff see costs. We've audited systems for bars handling premium spirits, preventing breaches that could leak pricing edges. Regular updates keep it ironclad. Peace of mind means you focus on the fun stuff, not firewalls.
