Serve a cocktail menu that actually makes money
Bar Assistant helps coastal venues build a proper cocktail offering 500+ tried recipes, exact pour-cost pricing and a live menu your guests can scan. Free for one bar. That's enough to run yours.
The free plan covers one bar and over 500 cocktails. No credit card needed. Upgrade only when you add more bars or staff accounts.
A better cocktail offering in three steps
From “we should offer cocktails” to a finished menu, usually in one afternoon.
Pick your recipes
Start from a library of 500+ classic and modern cocktails with exact specs, or build your own. Add images, notes and batch sizes.
Set honest prices
Enter your bottle prices once and Bar Assistant calculates the pour cost of every drink - then suggests menu prices at your target margin.
Put it in front of guests
Publish a clean drink menu on your own URL. Guests scan a QR code, and you update prices live or export for print.

Venue questions
Everything to know before you start.
Can we really use Bar Assistant in a commercial bar?
Yes. Both the free “Bartender” plan and the paid “Mixologist” plan are fine for venues - Bar Assistant never restricts commercial use, which is why bars, beach clubs and hotels use it.
We're a small beach bar, is the free plan enough?
For most single-outlet venues, yes. The free plan gives you one bar, up to 750 cocktails, ingredient stock, pour-cost pricing and a public menu. Move to “Mixologist” (up to 10 bars, staff accounts) when you open a second outlet or hire a team.
Our staff changes every summer, won't recipes get lost?
Recipes live in the app, not in someone's head. Every team member sees the same exact spec, pour by pour. Give bartenders access, keep settings with managers, and you serve the same drink all season.
Can guests actually see the menu?
Yes, publish the menu to a public URL in one click and put the URL (or a QR code) on a stand or card. When prices or drinks change, update once and guests see the new menu instantly. You can also export and print.
What about our data and GDPR?
Bar Assistant is developed in EU. We store the minimum personal data needed and host in the EU. The product is open source (MIT) - you can self-host on your own hardware and export your data any time.
Can we pay by invoice?
Yes, email info@barassistant.app and we'll set up invoice billing for your business.
