Import your bar
Bring your existing recipe book as a PDF, spreadsheet or photo. Jery reads it into drafts for you to review before anything is saved. Most of setup is reviewing, not typing, and you can start with just one drink.

Why switching systems usually stalls
The whole program lives in a binder, three spreadsheets and a group chat.
Bring your existing recipes together
Jery reads drinks, house batches and products from your existing files, then lets you review each one before importing.
Half our house batches were never written down.
Keep missing batches marked as pending
If a drink uses a house batch with no recipe, Jery creates a placeholder marked "Spec pending". The recipe stays blank until someone on your team fills it in.
Last time we switched, cleaning up the import took a week.
Undo a whole import, keep your edits
An owner or admin can undo an import in one go. Jery keeps anything you've since edited or linked to sales, and shows you exactly what's being preserved.

Bring your recipes in
Drop in the recipe book as a PDF, a spreadsheet, a menu photo or another tool's export. A long book is read page by page, and every drink waits in one queue for your review.
If a drink already exists in Jery, you choose whether to link it to the existing recipe, keep your version, replace it or keep both.

Scan bottles or upload your stock sheet
Upload the stock sheet you use now, or scan bottles with any phone using a QR code from your computer. Jery suggests each bottle's name, size, ABV and category for you to review. Nothing is imported until you approve it.
Scanning identifies the bottles you use. Prices, starting quantities and par levels stay yours to set.

Forward your supplier invoices
Forward supplier invoices to your bar's own Jery address or send them through chat. Match each supplier line to the right product once, and Jery remembers it. When you approve an invoice, the new prices feed into your recipe costs. You can also enter prices manually if you want to start with a single drink.

- Match each sold item to a recipeJery suggests a match for each POS item. Accept it, correct it or create a new item from a draft that's already filled in. Once confirmed, Jery remembers the match.
- Bring your sales history tooA direct connection pulls in past sales as well, and uploads that overlap never count a night twice.

Setup questions
Do I have to bring everything in before it's any use?
No. Set up your bar, bring in one recipe and enter the prices of the ingredients it uses. Jery can cost that drink straight away. Import the rest when you're ready, with longer recipe books processed in the background and reviewed through one queue.
What if the import gets something wrong?
Nothing is saved until you approve the import. If Jery can't read a name or quantity, it flags the row for review. Unreadable pages are listed so you can try again. Jery only imports prices shown in the source and never guesses stock quantities from a photo.
Can you do the import for us?
Yes. We offer guided setup, where we prepare the import for you. It costs $490 as a one-time fee and is included at no extra charge with annual plans. You still review everything before it's saved.
Does it work outside the US?
Yes. Recipes take milliliters, centiliters, ounces or grams, and a pint is an imperial pint in the UK and Ireland. An invoice in another currency converts into your bar's at the European Central Bank's rate for its date.
We're opening a second bar. Do we import it all again?
No. An owner or admin can create a new bar from one you already run in Jery, copying recipes, bottles, batches, menus, designs and settings. Team access and billing stay separate, and the new location starts with its own invoices and sales.
Make the switch without starting over
Early access is free for your whole team, with no card. Founding bars keep 30% off list for 12 months on annual billing. Plans from $149 per bar a month, billed annually.
