How Overpours Can Cost Bar Owners Up to $45 Per 1 Liter Bottle Sold (and How Pour Spouts Can Help)

Bar owners, are you getting the right pour amount with controlled pouring and pour spouts? If not, you're losing money.

The right tools can make all the difference, and it rings true when it comes to commercial pour spouts.

A quality commercial pour spout will give your bartending staff the confidence of portion consistency. Spill-Stop, the makers of bartending utensils, including the chrome tapered pourer # 285-50, recently shared this with Globe:

The True Cost of Over-pours

The average cost of a drink with 1 ounce of liquor is $7.50.

If your bartender over-pours by 20% that means you’re losing one drink for every five that are poured.

There are 33.8 ounces in every 1 liter bottle (Approximately 33 drinks per bottle).

So, if your bartender consistently over-pours by 20%, that means you’re losing six drinks for every 1 liter bottle sold.

Those six drinks equal $45.00 in lost sales.

So give that some thought: How many bottles is your commercial bar or restaurant going through on a busy weekend? That adds up to a lot of revenue!

Now that a potential problem of losing revenue has been identified:

Here's the solution: quality consistent pour spouts that will control portions, prevent over-pours, and save money, without slowing down your bartenders.
