Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a good volume lift for a drink special?
It varies by venue, but many bars target at least a 50-100% increase in volume to offset the lower margin per drink. Use this calculator to test different scenarios.
Should I include labor costs in this calculation?
This calculator focuses on drink-level profit margin. For a fuller picture, subtract any added labor or marketing costs from the net profit change result.
How do I estimate expected drinks sold during a special?
Review past sales data from similar promotions, or start conservatively and adjust based on actual results after running the special a few times.
