Duchess Jack Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) What is the typical markup on a keg of beer? What is the typical markup on a a bottle of booze? What are the easiest and most profitable bar foods? If you have some sample numbers, that would be great. Lastly... is there a good resource online where somebody can find out what a good starting inventory is, drink wise? Thanks.

Bring Back Pat!!! Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I can tell you a glass of soda is one of the highest mark-up items. Cost on one glass is something like $.07 to $.09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially whey they ALWAYS put too much ice in it also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bier Meister Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 i haven't done much ont eh bev side of purchasing so i'll let det and gts... and some of our resident bartenders address that. bar food: the easy way to go is fried food. tons of little fried products out there that are profitable. however, over the past 5-10 yrs seems like establishments are redefining "bar food" by creating higher quality products in-house. so more labor involved, but you can charge more for them..... a lot depends on the concept(s) you are thinking about.

budlitebrad Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 At the country club I used to work at they ran 25% bar costs, so the markup was around 4x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
