Case and bottle in one item
You record how many units go into a case. The purchase price sits on the case, and Mobistro shows the price per bottle alongside it.
For mobile bars and beverage teams
Mobile bar software that counts in cases, not bottles
Drinks arrive by the case, not by the bottle. Cooling gear is not a consumable. And on day three of a festival, what matters is not your total but what is still in storage. Mobistro works in the units you actually buy and load.

For beverage teams thinking in cases and cold chains
Mobistro supports beverage caterers, drink stands and mobile bartending teams working at festivals, markets, private events and corporate venues. The focus is operational inventory moving between storage, cooling, vehicles and the bar setup.
From day-to-day operations
The demand is in bottles, the buying happens in cases
- The list says 340 bottles. How many cases that is gets worked out in someone’s head every time.
- Draft system, gas and adapters sit in the same list as cups and napkins.
- On day two it is unclear whether the resupply is still in storage or already on the vehicle.
- What came back empty and what stayed at the bar is nobody’s knowledge by Monday.
Count in cases, look by location
A beverage operation moves large quantities in fixed units. Mobistro treats case and bottle as what they are: the same goods in two sizes.
Rounded up to whole cases
Where kitchen quantities move onto the packing checklist, Mobistro rounds up to the next full case and shows the math.
Cooling and bar equipment
Draft system, coolers, lines and adapters run as equipment, not consumption. They get loaded and returned, not drunk.
Storage and vehicle kept apart
On a multi-day event you see both rather than one total: what is on the vehicle, and what is still in main storage for the resupply.
When the mobile bar needs to run without improvisation
A weekend festival
Drinks by the case, cups by the carton, cooling gear as equipment — one list, three units.
Day two of the festival
What is left on the vehicle shows separately from main storage. The resupply is booked as a transfer, not guessed.
A bar at a catering venue
Its own template for the small setup, instead of trimming the festival list every time.
Return on Monday
Enter leftovers, record breakage and loss with a reason. Consumption is then settled rather than estimated.
A clear boundary
Not a bar POS, liquor-variance tool or client CRM
Mobistro does not process payments, compare sales variance or issue client invoices, and it does not meter pour at the tap. What it does: count in your case sizes, keep cooling gear as equipment, and hold stock apart by location.
Frequently asked questions
Is Mobistro a POS for mobile bars?
No. Your existing POS and payment tools stay in place; Mobistro organizes the operating workflow around them.
How does Mobistro handle cases and bottles?
You set on the item how many units go into a case. Stock and purchase price are kept in the unit you order in, and Mobistro derives the price per bottle from that.
Do I have to round odd quantities myself?
No. Where quantities move from kitchen planning onto the packing checklist, Mobistro rounds case-based items up to the next full case and shows the calculation.
Can I manage drinks and cooling gear separately?
Yes. Consumables and long-life equipment are separate item types with their own storage locations, so the draft system never shows up as consumption.
On multi-day events, can I see what is still in storage?
Yes. Stock sits per location rather than as one total — main storage and vehicle apart. A resupply is a transfer between the two.
Does Mobistro handle quotes, contracts or invoices?
No. Mobistro focuses on operational preparation and works alongside your existing business and finance tools.
How much does Mobistro cost for mobile bars?
Nothing during beta, whatever volume of cases and equipment you carry. A paid subscription only starts if you actively choose one.
Counting cases is not a mental-arithmetic exercise.
