About Rotely
Rotely is a bar inventory and ordering platform that streamlines inventory management for bars. It pre-fills daily counts shelf by shelf, checks invoice prices across multiple suppliers to identify overpayments, and drafts orders for owner approval through text messages and a web app. The software reads invoices by photo or email and integrates with POS daily sales reports without requiring new hardware or complex integrations.
The system eliminates manual counting and spreadsheet work by automatically filling in expected inventory quantities. It highlights discrepancies between what's sold and what's on the shelf, flags price increases and short deliveries, and helps prevent over-ordering. Bars can approve orders directly by text message, and the platform provides weekly summaries of running stock levels and cost-saving opportunities.
Rotely requires no setup fee, operates on a month-to-month basis with no contract, and is free until the first full count. It works on phones and computers bars already own and can migrate data from existing inventory systems.

Questions
- Do I need new hardware?
- No. Rotely runs on the phone and computer you already have.
- Does it work with my POS?
- Rotely reads your POS's daily emailed sales report, so there is nothing to connect. Most POS systems can email a daily sales report; Rotely checks yours.
- Is there a contract?
- No. Rotely operates month to month with no setup fee. You can cancel any time by emailing support, and you keep using it through the month you have already paid for.
- Who sends the orders?
- You approve every order. Rotely drafts the order; nothing goes to a supplier until you sign off.
- Is my data private?
- Only your team sees your bar's numbers, plus Rotely support when you ask for help. Rotely does not sell your data.
