I'm a bar owner and have been behind the stick for years. Every bar
▎ inventory system I found was either a monthly subscription or locked your
▎ data behind a paywall. Pour cost is simple math — it shouldn't cost
▎ $200/month.
▎
▎ So I built Open Source Barware — a free, open-source set of tools for
▎ counting inventory, tracking pour cost, and managing bar operations. It
▎ includes downloadable spreadsheet templates, a browser-based inventory
▎ sandbox, and a standalone Flask/Chrome program you can run locally with zero
▎ internet required.
▎
▎ Stack: Next.js 16 + Tailwind (static site on Cloudflare Pages), Flask for
▎ the local program, GPL-3.0 licensed.
▎
▎ GitHub: https://github.com/RichardBJamis...
▎
▎ Everything is free, no signup, no tracking. Would especially love feedback
▎ from anyone who's worked in hospitality or has opinions on the spreadsheet
▎ templates — the inventory counting workflow is where most of the real-world
▎ value lives.
Love that it stays local-first and only pings the cloud when you snap an invoice photo, feels like the right default for a bar's sensitive stock data.
