Crumbs for bars
Is the till short again at 1am, and nobody knows why?
A cash up that flags a short till before you lock up, group deposits that make the Christmas party turn up, a rota that knows Tuesday isn’t Saturday, and every beer line’s cleaning on record.
Sound familiar?
Your best nights finish at 1am. So does the paperwork.
Small bar owners and bar managers running late closes, walk ins, groups and a team that changes every season. The regulars keep you going on a wet Monday.
- Tuesday, 9pmA quiet night rostered like a Saturday. You only see it in the wage bill.
- Thursday, 5pmWhich lines were cleaned last week? The sheet behind the cellar door is half filled.
- Saturday, 1.10am£40 short at close, and nobody can say where it went.
- December, 8pmThe Christmas party booked twelve. Four turned up. No deposit.
Every one of those costs you a night’s takings, or your nerve.
Cellar and lines
When was line four last cleaned?
Every pour line on one list, with its product, its cleaning interval and when it was last done. Overdue lines are flagged, and wastage is logged with a reason, the line and the volume, so a bad week has an explanation. Bar tabs open by name or table in the same login.
- Every line with its own cleaning interval
- Overdue lines flagged
- Wastage logged with a reason and volume

Honest answers
What bar owners ask us first.
- “Bars are different.”
They are. Late finishes, walk ins, groups and a till that has to add up at 1am. So you get group deposits, a rota with the wage cost per day, cellar lines on record and a cash up that flags a short till before you go home.
- “We mostly take walk ins.”
Most bars do. You still have a rota, a till to cash up, lines to clean and regulars to keep. The bookings are there for the groups when you want them.
- “My rota app works fine.”
Keep it if it does. Most owners we talk to still do the wage maths in a spreadsheet afterwards. Crumbs shows the cost while you build.
- “Will it work with my till?”
