The "perfect pour" goes beyond showmanship and aesthetics in the world of the bar industry. It's a delicate balance between delivering an exceptional customer experience and maximizing a bar's profitability.
This is why it's important:
Customer experience and service
- The perfect pour ensures that regardless of who's behind the bar, every customer gets the same amount of liquor in their drink.
- The perfect pour also ensures that the customer gets a delightful drinking experience every time by helping bartenders recreate recipes consistently.
Bar Profitability
- Free pouring can lead to inconsistent drinks and increase waste of ingredients, according to Diageo. Perfect pours maximize the value of each bottle and boost profit margins.
- Accurate pouring allows bartenders to effectively track liquor usage, reducing shrinkage which are caused by spillage, theft, human error, and overpouring.
"What we know from working with thousands of operators over the last two decades is that bars and restaurants lose tons of money every day. The average loss in the hospitality industry is between 15-20%. In comparison, the retail industry has an average loss of 1.44%", according to Barmetrix, world experts in liquor inventory control.
In our previous blog, we took an important math lesson from behind the bar and learned that even the smallest things count–every second counts, every lost drop of booze, every over-poured drinks, and every leaking pourer—they all add up to the cost of operation and quality of service.
