Where it started

The app we wished existed

Virginia Beach, 2026

PourIQ started in a restaurant in Virginia Beach. Like every bar manager, we were drowning in spreadsheets. Losing hours to manual inventory counts. Guessing at reorder points. Finding out we were out of a wine only when a guest ordered it.

The problem with what existed

We tried the existing inventory apps. BevSpot wanted $99 a month. Bar-i charged $450 and required Bluetooth scales. Others had clunky interfaces clearly built by people who had never poured a drink during a Friday rush.

So we built it ourselves

Every feature comes from a real problem we faced on the floor. The minus and plus buttons sit on opposite sides of the screen because you need one-handed speed during service. Smart Count exists because nobody has time to count 600 items every week. The guest QR menu exists because guests kept asking what wines do you have by the glass.

PourIQ is not backed by venture capital. It is built by people who close the bar at midnight and open the inventory app at 6am.

That's why it works.

The PourIQ Team

What we stand for

Our principles

Three things that will never change about how we build and price PourIQ.

Built for the floor, not the boardroom

Every feature is designed for someone holding a phone with one hand and a wine bottle with the other. If it slows you down during service, it does not ship.

One price. Everything included.

$75 per month. No feature gates. No per-user fees. No nickel-and-diming. Bartenders, managers, and owners all get full access on the same plan.

Your data is yours

Export anytime. No lock-in. We earn your business every month, which means we build software you actually want to keep using.

Our mission
Give every bar manager the same visibility into their inventory that enterprise restaurants have, at a price any bar can afford.

No hardware. No per-seat fees. No feature tiers. Just the tools you need to stop losing money to over-pouring, shrinkage, and blind pricing.
