  • This week we have three wines from the 05 vintage, each of which retails around the $20 mark or under. There’s a red with a great name, and great reputation for quality at not much money. We also check out a Hunter Valley semillon that’s ready to drink now, but can handle lots of cellar time. And to finish things for the week we look at a red blend that’s a great option for both red meat and wood fired pizza!

    AccuWeigh Inventory Control System

    AccuWeigh Inventory Control System

    ACCUWEIGH uses a hand-held palm pilot with a bar-code scanner and the best inventory software on the market. Whether you’re operating multiple bars at one location or individual bars at multiple locations, this state-of-the-art system enables managers to perform extremely accurate inventories much more efficiently than manual inventory methods. AccuWeigh keeps a watchful eye on every product in your inventory from the time it enters the door until the time it is sold, helping you squeeze every last dime of profit from your operation. It will greatly reduce the time you spend counting your inventory and extending the figures. For partial bottles, you start by placing the bottle on the electronic scale and scan the label’s bar-code with the ruggedized palm pilot, made for the bar environment. AccuWeigh already knows the bottle’s tare (empty bottle) weight and will automatically record the volume of the bottle so you can move right on to weighing the next bottle. Full liquor, wine, & beer bottles are entered onto the palm pilot’s easy-to-use keyboard. Food, merchandise and any other items you normally track can all be inventoried with this system. After completing the inventory, upload the palm pilot’s data onto your computer with the press of a button then you’ll be able to print out valuable inventory and profitability reports. The AccuWeigh reports provide management information that’s necessary to properly monitor your operation. This unique system also tracks purchases, requisitions and maintains perpetual inventories to make weekly ordering a snap. Since AccuWeigh’s software program is installed onto your computer, you aren’t required to upload sensitive company data to a web server as other inventory products require you to do. Besides compromising information security with web-based inventory systems, you never know if the website provider will still be in business down the road. It’s hard enough to run a bar without having to worry about bartenders over
