All-in-One Inventory Solution for Your Kitchen and Bar

On the flip side, WISK brings everything together with a user-friendly dashboard that tracks both food and beverage inventory in one place. This all-in-one solution makes managing your inventory a breeze, helping you save time and boost your profits!
Experience Dependable Support with an Up-to-Date Help Center!
Partender is having a rough time with its Help Center down and missing SSL security, leaving users without much support when they need it. Thankfully, WISK has a Help Center that’s always updated, providing you with the resources you need right at your fingertips. With WISK, help is never far away, making your life just a little easier!
Get the Latest Features with an Inventory System That’s Always Improving
Partender’s app hasn’t seen an update in years, which may mean missing out on valuable improvements. WISK’s latest release, updated just days ago, reflects a commitment to ongoing enhancements and new features. For inventory that keeps pace with your bar’s needs, choose the app that prioritizes staying current.
Match Your Inventory Style to Your Bar’s Layout and Operations
Choose an inventory method that matches your workflow. Partender offers a structured approach, letting you count items in the same order daily for consistency. WISK, on the other hand, adapts to your bar’s unique layout, allowing you to scan items in the exact order you see them. This flexible method simplifies and speeds up inventory, especially in dynamic setups.
Slider gimmick VS Actual weighing in scales, visual mode and whatnot
Partender lets you use a slider for quick estimates—fast, but not always spot-on for opaque bottles. WISK uses Bluetooth scales to get exact measurements, even when you can’t see inside. With WISK, you can trust your data every time. Go for quick estimates or precision—it’s up to you!
