True accuracy

    Know your real pour cost.

    Most bars underestimate pour cost by 15 to 30 percent. We calculate true recipe cost with yield loss, house-made prep components, and cascading supplier prices. Every spec shows the real margin.

    Why accurate costing changes everything

    The 2.40 vs 3.85 problem

    Most bars underestimate pour cost by 15 to 30 percent. They use purchase prices instead of yield-adjusted costs. A Margarita that seems to cost 2.40 actually costs 3.85 when you account for juice yield, syrup evaporation, and garnish waste.

    Cascading price updates

    Your lime supplier raises prices by 8 percent. One update in methodus and every recipe using lime juice, every house-made cordial, every spec sheet recalculates automatically.
