For bars & pubs
It's a full bar on a Friday. Nobody's opening a dashboard.
TableAI keeps your bar's nightly numbers in WhatsApp. Track sales, liquor and keg stock, and who worked — without a POS terminal or a login.
The problem
Three things that quietly bleed a bar
A bar bleeds in ounces. Over-pours, comps, and the bottle that walks out the back. None of it shows on the till, only on the reorder bill weeks later. The fix isn't a stricter policy nobody follows on a Friday. It's seeing the pattern while it's still small, the same way a lean stock system catches shrinkage before the invoice does.
Stock that walks
Over-pours, comps, and the odd missing bottle. It never shows on the till, only in the reorder bill.
TableAI logs what came in and what's left, so shrinkage shows up as a trend, not a surprise.
Running dry mid-shift
The keg blows at 10pm or you're out of the house pour on your busiest night.
TableAI alerts you when a key line hits your reorder point — before service.
What actually sold
Big night, good vibes — but which drinks moved and which sat? By Monday it's a blur.
TableAI shows last night's sales by item in your morning briefing.
How it works
One WhatsApp thread. Open to last call.
No terminal, no login, and no app to teach a rotating bar team. It runs in the WhatsApp everyone already has open.
Text it between rounds
"Did $2,400, keg of house lager blew, whiskey running low." A quick line at last call or on a slow stretch.
It tracks the pours
Nightly sales, liquor and keg stock, who worked, and supplier numbers, all logged without a clipboard behind the well.
Read it before you open
A briefing lands each morning with last night's sales by item, what's low, and who's on tonight.
A night behind the bar
From doors open to last call
You prep for service and check the briefing. Friday did $2,400, the house IPA is nearly out, two are on tonight.
Rush hits. You text "keg of lager blew" so the reorder is in before the rep's cutoff.
A quiet stretch, and you log "whiskey and gin running low" without leaving the well.
Last call done, you close with "sold $2,900, comped 3 rounds." Shrinkage shows up as a trend, not a shock.
Being honest
TableAI won't weigh every bottle for you.
- It doesn't process payments — keep your card reader or POS for tabs
- It doesn't do scale-based pour-cost variance — BevSpot/WISK go deeper there
- It doesn't run table service or tabs — use your existing setup
- It doesn't schedule a big rotating bar team — 7shifts is better for that
It does one thing: keep your nightly sales, stock, and attendance in your pocket, so the numbers aren't lost in the noise of a busy shift.

Straight answers
What bar owners ask before switching
Does TableAI weigh my bottles or do pour-cost variance?
No. It does not do scale-based pour costing. It tracks what came in and what is left, so shrinkage shows up as a trend you can act on rather than a surprise on the invoice.
Do I need a POS or card machine to use it?
No. TableAI does not process payments or run tabs. Keep your existing setup for that and use TableAI to track sales, stock, and attendance.
Can my staff use it, not just me?
Yes. Anyone you add can text the night's numbers, which suits a bar where the person closing is not always the owner.
How does it handle kegs and spirits?
You log what you receive and what runs low in plain words, and it flags your reorder points before you are dry on a busy night.
What does TableAI cost?
