Portable Bluetooth weigh-bar for bar stock takes
A compact Bluetooth scale and an app on your phone. Carry them to the bar, the storeroom or the next outlet and count open bottles by weight.
Is this the weigh-bar you were looking for?
This page is about weighing bottles of spirits and liqueurs in a bar. If that is what you need, the rest of the page covers it.
If you were looking for a vehicle weighbridge, an axle or load-bar system, or a heavy-duty industrial scale, WeighIt is not that. It weighs bottles, in grams, on a compact scale, for liquor stock control.
A stock take that moves with you
Two things to carry, and nothing to set up.
Carry two things
A compact Bluetooth scale and a phone or tablet running the WeighIt app. There is no computer to set up and no cable to run.
Pair and weigh
Pair the scale with the app. At each location, scan a bottle's barcode, put it on the scale and read the tots left.
Counts stay together
Stock data syncs across your team and shows up in the cloud dashboard, so counts from the storeroom and the bar end up in one place.
Places a portable scale earns its keep
The method is the same everywhere. What changes is where the stock is.
Bar and storeroom
Count the bottles in service and the stock in the back with the same scale, so the two numbers can be read together.
Several outlets in one property
Move the same scale between a hotel's bars and restaurant, and keep the counts in one dashboard.
Event and temporary bars
Stock that moves between sites is the hardest to account for. Ask us how an event or mobile operation would be set up.
What reaches the owner after a walk-round
A walk-round is only useful if the counts end up somewhere you can read them. In WeighIt every weighed bottle becomes a stock count in the cloud dashboard, so the numbers do not stay on one phone in one person's pocket.
- Counts from the bar and the storeroom, kept together for each site.
- Remaining tots and bottle equivalents worked out from the weight, not estimated by eye.
- Expected stock based on sales compared with actual stock based on weighing, so differences show up as variance.
- Reports for managers in the web dashboard, so the owner does not have to be in the room for the count.
Moving the scale does not change the method. Put it on a flat, stable surface at each stop and place every bottle the same way each time. Readings are only as consistent as the way the bottle is set down.
What a portable weigh-bar does not do
- It does not replace your POS. It counts stock, and your POS records sales.
- It does not pour or measure drinks. It weighs bottles that are already open.
- It is not a vehicle, axle or industrial weighing system.
Pricing is per site. If you run several venues, ask about bundled pricing.

Questions about a portable Bluetooth scale
What is a portable Bluetooth weigh-bar?
People use the term for a compact Bluetooth scale taken to the stock instead of moving the stock to a fixed scale. WeighIt pairs a compatible Bluetooth scale with its app, so open bottles can be counted by weight anywhere in a venue.
Does it need a computer or cables?
No. The scale connects to the app on your phone or tablet over Bluetooth. Managers read reports in the web dashboard.
Can I carry it between bars or venues?
The scale is small enough to move around a venue. Pricing and reporting are per site, so if you want one kit to cover several venues, ask us how that would work.
Is it suitable for heavy items or vehicles?
No. WeighIt weighs bottles for liquor stock control. It is not a vehicle, axle or industrial weighing system.
Does the scale come with the app?
A compatible Bluetooth scale is included with the setup and couriered to your site. The app runs on your phone or tablet.
How much does it cost?
The once-off setup, scale included, is R7,500 per site. The variance programme is then R4,000 per site per month.
Get the app and watch how it works
WeighIt runs on iPhone, Android and the web. The tutorial videos cover the setup, the scale and a full stock take.
