  Bringing life back to what’s been 86’d.  

Bar service observation and liquor loss evaluation are available for hospitality operators.

Many bars lose 15–25% of liquor revenue through overpours and inconsistent service.

Pulse86 helps identify where those losses occur.

PULSE86 is the authorized AndroBar dealer and service provider for Ontario.

About PULSE86 Inc.

At PULSE86 Inc., we bring new life to hospitality businesses by combining 30+ years of industry experience with a practical understanding of modern bar and restaurant operations.

From bars and pubs to restaurants and lounges, we help operators improve efficiency, reduce losses, and increase profitability through smarter systems, stronger operational standards, and practical technology solutions.

Our work goes far beyond traditional consulting. PULSE86 works directly with operators to modernize workflows, implement technology-driven solutions such as POS optimization, liquor control systems, staff training, and cost control processes, and build operations that perform consistently under real service conditions.

Hospitality operators work with PULSE86 in several ways — through consulting engagements, technology implementations, or simply by adopting the systems and vendor solutions we recommend. Our goal is always the same: helping hospitality businesses operate more efficiently and profitably.

Through strategic vendor partnerships, preferred pricing programs, and procurement solutions, PULSE86 ensures clients gain not only expert insight but also measurable operational and financial improvements.

Whether launching a new venue or revitalizing an existing one, PULSE86 delivers practical solutions that bring life back to what’s been 86’d.
