Everything you need to keep watch

From a single walk-in to every bar in the group, Barkeep gives you live readings, the history behind them, and alerts the second something drifts.

Monitor at a glance

  • Every sensor across all your locations on one screen
  • Live readings with ambient temperature alongside each sensor
  • Battery, signal, and last-report time per sensor
  • Gateway connection status (WiFi / cellular) and per-sensor health

History & trends

  • Interactive charts from 1 hour to 3 months
  • Overlay ambient temperature and show your alert limits on the chart
  • Touch-scrub the timeline to read any moment
  • Keep a temperature record that helps with inspections

Alerts that find you

  • High / low limits per sensor, or defaults for a whole gateway
  • Separate limits for ambient (room) temperature
  • Push, SMS, and email alerts to you and your staff
  • Plain-language: what's wrong, what it reads now, what it should be

Built for operators

  • Set up a gateway in minutes over Bluetooth; pick your WiFi in-app
  • Multiple locations and gateways under one account
  • Invite your team with full-access or view-only roles
  • Fahrenheit or Celsius, light or dark

How it works

Sensors report wirelessly to a gateway, the gateway reaches the cloud, and the cloud reaches you, on your phone and the web.

  1. 01

    Sensors read

    Wireless LoRa sensors track temperature, pressure, and more, reaching into walk-ins and across the venue.

  2. 02

    Gateway relays

    A single Barkeep gateway manages up to 128 sensors at up to 500m range, and reports out over WiFi or cellular.

  3. 03

    Cloud watches

    Readings are checked against your limits around the clock, all day and night.

  4. 04

    You get told

    The moment something drifts, an alert lands on your phone, the web app, and your team.

Why operators pick Barkeep

A walk-in that warms overnight, a CO₂ drift, a glycol chiller that quits: each costs hundreds to thousands in spoiled product. One catch pays for the system.

10+ year battery life

Long-life LiSOCl₂ cells last a decade or more. Install it and forget it, with no constant battery swaps.

LoRa range up to 500m

LoRa punches through walk-in coolers, basements, and harsh RF environments where WiFi and Bluetooth give out, up to 500 meters from the gateway.

Buy direct

Order sensors and gateways straight from our store, no distributors or middlemen in between.

Multi-channel alerts

Push, SMS, and email to you and your staff, in plain language: what it reads, and what it should be.

More than temperature

Temperature, pressure (kegs / draft / CO₂), and vibration on one system.

Privacy-first

No ads, no tracking, no analytics SDKs, no data sale. Rare, so we say it plainly.

Redundant connectivity

The gateway reports over WiFi or cellular, so one dropped connection is not a blind spot.

Team-ready

Invite staff with the right access, full-access or view-only, and route alerts to the right manager.

Built for the way a bar actually runs

Peace of mind after close: you find out from home, not at 6 a.m. with a cooler full of loss.

Walk-in cooler / freezer
Catch a failed compressor or a door left open before the product is gone, and keep a 90-day temperature record for health inspections.
Draft system / kegs
Watch keg pressure and cooler temp so every pour is right and you are not dumping foamy kegs.
Glycol systems & beer towers
Know the instant a glycol chiller drifts, before the line warms and the tower suffers.
Multi-location operators
Every bar on one screen, with alerts routed to the right manager at the right venue.

Automatic temperature history is helpful for recordkeeping and inspections. It is not a certified HACCP or NSF compliance product.
