I’ve been a lifelong operator and a self-proclaimed “restaurant geek.” I love all things hospitality — people, places, and food — and since opening Barmetrix Vancouver in 2013, my passion has been helping operators improve bar operations, reduce inventory variance, and grow their profitability.

Areas We Serve

We proudly serve Vancouver’s Lower Mainland, from Abbotsford to Squamish — and everywhere in between.


Our team is deeply rooted in the local hospitality community. From the energy of Yaletown and Gastown, to the nightlife of Granville Street, the culture of Commercial Drive, and the coastal charm of Willowbrook and White Rock Beach, we know what makes the Vancouver market unique.


Barmetrix Vancouver is proud to be part of this diverse scene, helping operators from neighborhood pubs to multi-unit restaurant groups improve their bottom line.

We deliver accurate inventory counts, reliable inventory data, and actionable strategies that lower pour cost, reduce alcohol waste, and give operators confidence in their numbers.

Inventory Solutions for Vancouver

Every operator faces challenges — whether it’s managing liquor bottles across a busy Granville Street bar, keeping staff accountable in a Gastown cocktail lounge, or improving margins in a Commercial Drive restaurant.


That’s why we go beyond basic inventory counting or generic inventory software. Our consulting-led approach combines precise inventory control systems with local expertise to reduce inventory loss, improve profit and loss goals, and strengthen long-term business profit.

What Our Customers Say

Ativo 3

You can tell they genuinely care about our business and not just their job in creating reports for us. They actually work with us to identify problems we have structurally, and even with our bar protocol or how our bartenders are pouring. Robyn and Javier Pablo, the entire team, have been so great to work with. It’s been a no-brainer to continue working with them.

We chose to go with Barmetrix because we wanted accurate reporting and the peace of mind of having them come in and do the count without being babysat. It worked out to be a really good system, and we’ve really enjoyed it.

Barmetrix has become part of our team, not just a service that we pay for. We get reliable numbers, the accuracy we were looking for, the thoroughness, and they keep our vendors honest. It’s really nice to have a partner like that. Lets me sleep at night.

Case Study

One Key West client began with a variance of 29.34%, losing an estimated $17,145 in potential revenue in a single week. After implementing Barmetrix systems, their variance dropped to 5.4% — a shift that could help them recoup up to $800,000 annually in lost revenue potential.
