Backbar
Backbar is a mobile-first bar and restaurant inventory app that lets teams count stock collaboratively across devices, build and cost cocktail/food recipes, and send single-tap orders to distributors. It is best known for a free-forever plan aimed at independent bars and restaurants replacing spreadsheets.
Our verdict
Strong value for small bars thanks to a genuinely free-forever plan, mobile-first counting and a solid recipe/pour-cost calculator with transparent paid tiers, but POS integrations are limited (Toast, Square, Shift4) and independent review volume is very thin (no Capterra reviews; only a small SaaSworthy aggregate).
