## What it is
Bar Assistant is a self-hosted, all-in-one API server for managing a home cocktail bar, built in PHP (Laravel). It handles cocktail recipes, ingredient inventories, shopping lists, and search indexing, with a separate web client (Salt Rim) as its frontend.

## Use cases
- manage my home bar cocktail recipes
- track which cocktails I can make from my ingredient shelf
- self-host a cocktail recipe manager
- generate a shopping list of missing cocktail ingredients
- import cocktail recipes from websites
- create a public cocktail menu for a party
- filter cocktail recipes by base ingredient or ABV

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, cocktail-specific recipe and inventory manager
- you need a REST API backend to pair with a frontend or custom client
- you want features like ingredient substitutes, ABV calculations, and unit switching
- you want to import/export recipes in JSON, YAML, or Markdown formats

## When to avoid
- you need a simple hosted solution without running Docker or a server
- you want general-purpose recipe management beyond cocktails
- you don't want to manage a separate frontend client and API server
