Monitoring Beverage Operations
Principles of Food, Beverage, and Labour Cost Controls,Canadian Edition
Learning ObjectivesAfter reading this chapter, you should be able to:• 16.1 Identify the three general approaches to monitoring beverage operations.• 16.2 Calculate monthly amounts for the cost of beverages sold, for wines, spirits, and
beers separately.• 16.3 Calculate the value of liquor issued to a bar, bar inventory differential, and cost of
liquor consumed.• 16.4 List possible reasons for differences between actual and standard beverage
costs.• 16.5 Calculate daily amounts for the cost of beverages sold, beverage cost
percentages, and cost percentages for wines, spirits, and beers separately.• 16.6 Determine standard beverage cost for a given period.• 16.7 Calculate potential sales value per bottle for beverages sold by the straight drink.• 16.8 Determine a mixed drink differential and use it to adjust potential sales values.• 16.9 Calculate potential sales values using the actual sales record method and the
average sales value method.• 16.10 Identify the formulas used to calculate beverage inventory turnover and explain
how the results of this calculation can be interpreted for maintaining appropriate inventory levels of spirits and beers.
Monitoring Beverage Operations
• Cost:
• determine the cost of beverages sold compare with either actual cost or standard cost
• Liquid measure:
• compare the number of ounces sold with the number of ounces consumed
• Sales values:
• compare the potential sales value of beverages consumed with the actual revenue recorded
Monitoring Beverage Operations
The Cost Approach• Monthly calculations
• Using cost per dollar sale• Inventory and F & B transfers
• Cost calculations by category• Spirits• Wine• Beer (draught, import, domestic)
• Daily calculations• Cumulative “to date”
• Compare results to Standard and Actual Costs
Monitoring Beverage Operations
• The Liquid Measure Approach• Ounce-control method• Daily inventory and determine ounces sold• Manually is labour intensive• Automated is effective
The Sales Value Approach
Determine potential sales value per bottle compared to revenue, can be complex.
1. Actual sales record method
• Mixed drink differential
2. Average sales value method
• Use values from a sample period
• Allow for some variance from actual
3. Standard deviation method
• An acceptable range is established
Potential Sales Values 1. Determine bottle size and drink size.2. Calculate drinks per bottle.3. Multiply drinks per bottle by drink price to get sales
value per bottle.
ExampleBottle size: 1 litre; Drink size: 1 ounce33.8 drinks per bottle33.8 × $3.00 = $101.40
Cost Percent Formulas
Opening beverage inventory+ Beverage purchases this month= Total available for sale this month– Closing inventory this month = Value of beverages issued to the bar
Bar inventory value at the beginning of the month– Bar inventory value at the end of the month= Bar inventory differential
Cost Percent Formulas
Value of beverages issued to the bar+/– Inventory differential= Cost of beverages consumed (beverage cost)
Beverage cost percentage = Beverage costBeverage sales
Adjustments to Beverage Cost • These are added to beverage cost
• Transfers from kitchen to bar
• Food directs (not transfers)
• Storeroom issues
• Mixers
• These are subtracted from beverage cost
• Managers’ drinks
• Special promotions
Inventory Turnover• To measure how often the inventory has been consumed
and replenished during an accounting period:
Average inventory
=Opening inventory + Closing inventory
2
Inventory turnover =Cost of beverage sold
Average inventory
Generally accepted turnover rates:Spirits—1.5Beers—2.0
