    The problem

    The knowledge in your team's heads is your most valuable — and most vulnerable — asset.

    200+

    Recipes walk out the door

    Your best bartender's Old Fashioned. Your chef's signature sauce. Your sommelier's pairing notes. When they leave — and they will — that knowledge leaves too.

    14 days

    Training takes weeks, proof takes forever

    New hires shadow for two weeks. Maybe they learn the recipes. Maybe they don't. You have no way to verify. One allergen mistake costs more than a year of software.

    15%

    15% of what you pour is unaccounted for

    Industry data from 30,000+ bar audits shows the average bar loses 15-20% of poured product to overpouring, waste, and unrecorded comps. Without accurate recipes, you can't even measure the gap.

    The solution

    Three problems. One platform. A loop that gets smarter every cycle.

    methodus solves each one — and connects them into an intelligence loop that sharpens your program with every cycle.

    Problem: recipes walk out the door

    Capture them in 35 seconds

    Voice, photo, or text — your recipes are documented before anyone gives notice. No desk required.

    Problem: training takes weeks, proof takes forever

    Certify your team in days

    Every recipe becomes a quiz automatically. Your team takes it on their phone. You see who passed and who didn't — with timestamps.

    Problem: 15% unaccounted for

    See what you're really spending

    Accurate specs with real yield and prep loss reveal your true pour cost. You can't fix shrinkage you can't measure.

    And then methodus does something no other platform can:

    It turns all that data into intelligence — and feeds it back.
