Controlling Pour Costs: Real-Time Keg, Bottle, and Liquor Inventory Tracking

The High-Margin, High-Risk Bar Operation

Beverage and liquor sales offer the highest gross margins in hospitality, frequently exceeding 75%. However, bars are exceptionally vulnerable to internal shrinkage: free drinks for friends, over-pouring 90ml instead of standard 60ml pegs, and unrecorded bottle breakages.

Peg-Level Depletion Algorithms

When a bartender punches a 'Gin & Tonic' or 'Long Island Iced Tea', the POS must decrement exact fractional milliliters from distinct bottle inventory ledgers (e.g., 60ml Tanqueray Gin, 150ml Tonic Water). Daily variance reports compare expected bottle weight against actual closing stock.
