Bar Inventory in Chicago
Helping bars and restaurants across Chicagoland improve profitability, control costs, and streamline operations with expert bar inventory management and consulting.
With over 20 years in the restaurant industry, I’ve held nearly every position imaginable — from dishwasher to owner. That journey taught me what truly drives profitability: control, consistency, and data. At Barmetrix Chicago, I help operators build systems that improve stock levels, track every liquor bottle, and strengthen profit margins through smarter decisions and operational discipline.
