The average bar pours 15–20% more than it sells. Enter your numbers to see what that leak costs you — and what Bar-i typically recovers.
Not sure? Most bars run 15–20% without a measurement system.
¹ Business impact uses a conservative 2× multiplier on wholesale loss, reflecting lost sales alongside product cost. Retail-equivalent impact can run higher.
² Assumes shrinkage drops from your current rate to ~5%, the level Bar-i clients typically sustain, and a Bar-i Pro service cost of $5,200/year ($400 per 4-week period × 13). Excludes time savings: cutting count time from ~3 hours to ~1 hour saves a further ~$1,560/year (26 counts at $30/hour manager cost).
Take a bar doing $50,000 a month in beverage sales at a 20% pour cost. That's $10,000 of product used per month. At a typical 15% shrinkage rate, $1,500 of that product disappears every month without matching sales — $18,000 a year at wholesale cost. Because lost product also means lost sales, the real business impact is conservatively twice that: about $36,000 a year. Bar-i clients typically bring shrinkage down to around 5%, recovering $1,000 of product a month. Doubled for business impact and annualised, that's $24,000 a year — or roughly $18,800 net after the $5,200 annual cost of Bar-i Pro, a return of about 3.6×.
