YourBarMate

What YourBarMate does

YourBarMate AG is a Zurich-based SaaS company founded in 2018 that delivers ordering and inventory management software to the hospitality industry in Switzerland and neighboring countries (Germany, Italy, France). The platform unifies the F&B supply chain workflow for bars, clubs, restaurants, hotels, events, and retail venues, replacing paper tally lists, Excel-based stocktakes, and per-supplier email ordering with a single web-based application. The company serves 80+ customer venues and is integrated with 500+ Swiss suppliers including Feldschlösschen, Saviva, Pistor, and Zweifel 1898.

The product is built as a modular suite of four independently priced web applications running on AWS (Frankfurt) with Stripe for payment processing and Zoho for CRM: YBM Shop (CHF 55/month) for consolidated multi-supplier ordering, YBM Inventory (CHF 75/month) for digital stocktaking with customizable layouts, YBM Transfer (CHF 25/month) for internal replenishment across multiple locations, and YBM Recipes (CHF 75/month) for menu costing and real-time margin control. A public REST API (YBM Connect) and dedicated supplier and event subdomains (supplier.yourbarmate.com, event.yourbarmate.com, cafebar.yourbarmate.com) support an indirect channel through supplier partner recommendations and vertical-specific go-to-market motions. The product supports offline mode and runs on any browser-enabled device.

YourBarMate is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding. The team is small (four named members: Julian Geiser as CEO & Key Account, Juri Tanner in Product & Operations, Matyas Buczko in IT & Engineering, and Jakob Späth in Customer Success), and the business operates on a subscription model with annual plans offering roughly 10% savings versus monthly billing. The combined effect of the supplier-side marketplace, modular pricing, and Swiss domain specialization is a workflow consolidation play rather than a technology disruption play; competitive differentiation rests on pre-built supplier integrations and operational depth in DACH hospitality rather than on AI, proprietary data assets, or platform breadth.

Customers subscribe to individual modules (YBM SHOP, YBM INVENTORY, YBM TRANSFER, YBM RECIPES) on monthly or annual terms, and an open REST API (YBM CONNECT) connects the platform to suppliers, ERP, and accounting systems.
