Modernizing the Back Bar
We are a team of hospitality veterans and technology enthusiasts dedicated to helping bars thrive in an increasingly complex industry.
Our Story
Throughout his career in hospitality, our founder Dave Thomas noticed a pervasive issue in almost every bar he worked in: dead stock. Bottles collecting dust, taking up space, and tying up capital, just expecting to be carried over from one inventory sheet to the next.
As he transitioned into a career in AI development, Dave realized this was the perfect use case for a new kind of intelligence. He saw an opportunity to harness AI not just for novelty, but to solve this specific, expensive problem.
deadstock.bar was built to help bars turn that "annoying product" into signature cocktails that adapt seamlessly to their existing menus. We are here to help you reclaim the hundreds or thousands of dollars in missed opportunity sitting on your back bar right now.
This isn't just about profit—it's about sustainability. Pouring untouched spirits down the drain is a waste of resources, glass, and craft. By finding a home for every bottle, we help the industry reduce its environmental footprint while improving its bottom line.
