Hey all - thanks! Yeah, pretty funny story how we started --> trying to meet up with some girls who were stuck doing inventory until 7AM, and we thought there had to be a better way.
And voila! Partender was born.

Tell your restaurant/bar friends about us and if they sign up and mention you in our "How did you hear about us?" field, we'll send you $100 :)
Haha, love the referral bonus, @NikKundra!
Again, I don't know the space but it sounds like a no brainer to existing, manual methods. How are you selling/acquiring customers?
This is pretty awesome. Love the video. While I appreciate the 14 day free trial - I wish there was a freemium version for the home (or the bar in my room). Naturally, not being a bar it doesn't make sense for me to pay for it, but think of all the people that have a small bar in their home using it, then going out to bars and showing it to bar owners... I get the feeling it would spread very quickly.

I met with @NikKundra and was really impressed with both him and the vision. I've had to take inventory regularly for jobs in a past life (I was a barrista in high school and college) and know what a pain it is. I'm always interested in companies that use technology to remove pen and paper, or the need to send spreadsheets back and forth. Keep up the great work Partender team!
I recently learned that most bartenders spend an hour+ each night measuring and recording their inventory. Partender significantly reduces this time (and presumably provides more accurate results). Super smart.
@ryanlawler mentioned it as one of his favorite companies from the recent 500 Startups batch: http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/05...

I learned from co-founder @kundrela that the product idea started when they realized the task took more than 5 hours for a friend. Love how this solves a real paint point for people in small businesses -- would love to see the concept applied to other cases.

Hey @rrhoover, thanks! We know word-of-mouth is huge in the industry, and we're extremely focused on service and giving back to those who help us.
So word-of-mouth has been huge for us and some great marketing tactics we have ;)
