Dollars spent buying liquor for a certain period, divided by the amount of money you SHOULD have received by selling that liquor....equals the theoretic liquor cost expressed as a percentage.

• $100,000 spent buying liquor
• divided by
• $800,000 planned revenues from the sale of liquor
• equals
• 12.5% theoretical liquor cost

Dollars spent buying liquor for a certain period, divided by the amount of money you ACTUALLY received by selling that liquor....equals the actual liquor cost expressed as a percentage.

• $100,000 spent buying liquor
• divided by
• $532,552 actual revenues from the sale of liquor sold
• equals
• 18.8% actual liquor cost

The difference between your theoretical and actual liquor costs is the amount of money you are not making in your liquor sales:

Planned Liquor Sales = $800,000

Actual Liquor Sales = $532,552

The Additional Sales you COULD have made = $267,448

 This is as a result of all the factors that AndroBar can control such as...

• overpour
• waste through incorrect drink recipes
• lack of data to manage your liquor
• theft
• unrecorded sales

In test after test, pouring thousands of ounces of liquor our research has shown the following:

• Free Pour (where the bartender uses a count to calculate amount poured) overpour averages 31.6% (pour accuracy = 0%)
• Measured Pour (Jigger or shot glass used to measure) overpour averages 28%
• Electronic portion control (AndroBar for example) overpour averages <2%

Theoretical Yield per bottle is the size of the bottle in oz. (750ml = 25.3 oz, 1 litre = 33.8) divided by the size of your standard sized drink pour. To add to the calculation - times the number of drinks by the retail price to get your Dollar Yield per bottle.

• 750 ml bottle = 25.3 oz
• Standard pour = 1.5oz
• Yield per Bottle = 16 drinks
• times $9.00 per drink
• Potential Dollar Yield per bottle = $144 per bottle
• What is your Dollar Yield per Bottle?
