FoodiBar and Beverage Cost Consulting
Your bar can be your highest-margin department or your biggest leak. Foodi tracks pour cost and bar inventory every week, so you know which one it is.
Bars Lose Money One Pour at a Time
Over-pours, comps that never get rung in, spills, and drinks made without a spec all look small in the moment. They add up to real money, and a monthly P&L won't tell you which one is happening.
Cocktail programs make it harder: more ingredients, more prep, more room for specs to drift. Without costed recipes and regular counts, you're pricing drinks on guesswork.
How Foodi Handles Beverage Cost
Pour cost tracking
Liquor, beer, and wine cost against target every week, by category.
Inventory variance
We compare what your sales say you poured with what your counts say you used, and flag the gap.
Cocktail recipe costing
Every cocktail spec costed, so you know the margin on every drink and can price with confidence.
Pour standards and training
We help your bar leads set and train pour standards, and keep them in place when staff turns over.
Beverage vendor review
Distributor pricing and deals checked against what you're actually being billed.
What a Few Points Are Worth
A bar doing $500,000 a year in beverage sales that cuts pour cost by 3 points keeps an extra $15,000 a year.
Illustrative example. Not a guaranteed result.
How It Fits Into Your Weekly Report
Everything on this page shows up in your Foodi Tracker every Monday, next to sales, labor, and projected profit — so you see the whole picture, not one department at a time.

It depends on your mix. Liquor, beer, and wine each run at different cost levels, and cocktail programs vary widely. Instead of chasing one industry number, Foodi sets a target for each category based on your menu and prices, then tracks you against it every week.
Weekly counts on your highest-value items make variance visible fast. Foodi helps you set up a count routine your team can actually keep up with.
Both. Foodi works with restaurants that have bar programs and with standalone bars.
