Off the Binder. Bar systems, recipes.

Inside the system

The recipe system your bar runs on.

One format for specs, one for preps and one for batches. Built around your menu, and open on every phone behind the bar.

Built for the problems you know

No more binder

Every spec in one place, in the same clean format.

No more scrolling

New specs live in the system, not the group chat.

No more guessing

Preps carry yield, shelf life and the date they were made.

What's inside

Two cards, two jobs.

Service specs tell you what goes in the glass. Prep recipes tell you how to make a batch. The system keeps them apart and links them up.

Built in Notion

A binder that searches itself.

Notion is an app for notes and databases. Every recipe is a page, and the whole list syncs to every phone behind the bar.

  • Free to start. No new subscription.
  • On every device. iPhone, Android and any browser.
  • Search and tap. Two letters and the spec is there.

Notion is a trademark of Notion Labs, Inc. Off the Binder isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Notion.

Questions

Do I need to know Notion?

No. I set it up, and the handover shows everyone how to find a drink. If your team lives in Google Sheets, we can use Sheets instead.

Are my recipes private?

Yes. The system lives in your own Notion workspace, and your recipes are never shared or used anywhere else.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Notion has apps for iPhone and Android, so your team can open any spec mid-shift.

What if the menu changes?

Edit the card once and everyone sees the new spec straight away.

What about refunds?

Covered by the 14-day money-back guarantee. After that, your rights under the Australian Consumer Law still apply if anything's wrong with the product.
