Equipped with the latest technology

Micro switches, minibars equipped with magnetic detection and infrared sensor technologies, send a signal when a product is placed in the minibar slot by detecting pressure, and record it as "consumed" after a specified period when the product is removed. Magnetic and infrared sensors similarly detect consumption for large bottles or dry food products.

Bartech minibars reduce operational costs by 25% by monitoring only guest rooms, while increasing minibar revenues by 30%. The smart temperature control feature also reduces energy costs by 30%. Accurate product tracking and instant billing processes facilitate hotel operations' stock management, ensuring regular product replenishment. Real-time inventory control feature enables quick replacement of products nearing expiration date.
