The manager problem
Everyone’s “classic” is slightly different.
The IBA spec is useful as a baseline, but your venue still has a house Margarita, your preferred glass, your garnish standard, and your batch prep. Jigger keeps that final answer clear for the team, like having an assistant bar manager in everyone's pocket.
That saves manager time, but it also protects margin: fewer overpours, fewer remakes, fewer comped drinks, and less prep thrown away because the batch was scaled from memory.
Baseline
Start from a classic reference.
House spec
Publish how you serve it.
Batch spec
Keep prep consistent too.
Menu import
Upload the menu you already have. Turn it into the answers staff need.
Most venues already have the truth somewhere: a PDF menu, a wine list, a spreadsheet, a prep sheet, a binder. Jigger gives managers a review queue for turning that into recipes, allergens, and quick service notes without rebuilding the bar bible from scratch.
Specs
Cocktail serves, garnishes, batch yields, glassware, and prep notes become searchable staff-facing recipes.
Service knowledge
The small answers that win service: driest white, crispest beer, full-bodied red, best low-ABV option, and smart upsell prompts.
Allergens
Flag egg, dairy, nuts, gluten, vegan suitability, and serious-allergy escalation notes beside the relevant menu items.

AI import
From stained cards to staff-ready specs.
Upload the paper card, menu PDF, wine list, or prep sheet your team already uses. Jigger drafts the recipes, allergen notes, and service answers, then keeps them held for manager review.
Messy source
Crossed-out measures, old batch notes, handwritten allergen reminders, and staff shorthand.
AI draft
Structured recipe specs and service notes extracted into Jigger without pretending they are final.
Manager approval
Nothing reaches staff until a manager checks the pour, garnish, method, and allergen details.
How it works
Four steps from scattered docs to service-ready answers.
Step 1
Upload
Add the menu, paper spec, wine list, or prep sheet you already have.
Step 2
Review
Jigger drafts specs and notes, then keeps them unpublished for manager approval.
Step 3
Invite
Bring staff into the venue workspace with email invites.
Step 4
Search
Staff find specs, allergens, and service answers in seconds on their phone.
Before Jigger
Batch prep turns into napkin maths.
- Single-drink specs scaled by hand
- Different bartenders rounding differently
- Prep sheets buried in PDFs or chat
- Menu changes rebuilt from scratch
50 × 18? wait... 20? top up?
The recipe is technically written down, but service still relies on mental arithmetic and memory.
After Jigger
Fill the bottles from the approved one-drink spec.
House Margarita batch
Choose how many 750ml bottles to fill. Jigger scales the one-drink spec to fit.
45ml spare / top-up margin
The simple maths
One avoided mistake can cover the month.
Jigger does not need to replace your POS or stock system to pay for itself. It just has to reduce a few repeated questions, remakes, overpours, or badly scaled batches.
20 min
less manager interruption per week
2 drinks
fewer remakes or comps per month
1 batch
scaled from the approved house spec
Why managers switch
The hidden cost is not the recipe card. It is inconsistency.
When specs live in old PDFs, WhatsApp threads, and someone's memory, every shift starts with uncertainty. Jigger keeps the answer current, searchable, and readable on the device staff already carry.
Old way
Laminated cards, stale PDFs, group chats, verbal updates
With Jigger
Searchable recipes, live pages, unread announcements, manager-controlled updates
Result
Faster service, fewer mistakes, fewer remakes, cleaner onboarding, less manager interruption
Focused on the gap
Not POS. Not stock. Not another spreadsheet.
Your venue probably already has tools for payments, rota, stock, or accounting. Jigger is for the bit those tools do not solve well: the digital bar bible that saves managers from repeating the same answers and rebuilding the same documents.

FAQ
Questions bar managers usually ask first.
Is this replacing my POS or stock system?
No. Jigger is deliberately narrower: specs, batch recipes, allergens, training notes, announcements, and staff search.
Can staff edit specs?
Staff can read what managers publish. Managers control recipes, notes, imports, and announcements.
Does AI publish straight to staff?
No. AI creates drafts from uploaded menus or spec sheets. A manager reviews and publishes the final version.
Can every venue keep its own classics?
Yes. Start from a baseline if useful, then publish your house spec, garnish, glass, batch yield, and service notes.
Will it work well on phones?
Yes. The app is built mobile-first with bottom search, quick notes, and swipeable recipe cards for service.
Give your team the answer before service gets messy.
Start with one venue, ten recipes, and your most-used checklists. You can prove the value in a single menu change.
