Spec Sheet

    A spec sheet (specification sheet) is a standardized document that details exactly how to make a specific drink or dish — including ingredients, quantities, technique, garnish, glassware, and presentation. It's the single source of truth for recipe execution.

    Why Spec Sheet matters

    A spec sheet eliminates ambiguity. Instead of 'make an Old Fashioned,' the spec sheet says: 2oz bourbon (Maker's Mark), 0.25oz simple syrup (2:1), 2 dashes Angostura bitters, expressed orange peel, rocks glass, single large cube.

    Without spec sheets, every bartender makes every drink differently. Consistency disappears. Costs fluctuate. Training becomes 'watch me and remember.' When the head bartender leaves, the specs leave with them.

    Professional spec sheets include: ingredients with exact measurements, technique (shaken, stirred, built), garnish specification, glassware, cost per serving, and allergen flags.
