Pour Cost Meter

The hero number, the target line, and the capsule bar. What each piece is telling you.

Updated May 6, 2026

Every cocktail and spirit detail screen has a pour cost hero at the top. It's the single most important graphic in the app, and it packs three numbers plus a visual cue into one block.

The three numbers

  • Cost. What it costs you to make one pour or one cocktail. Sum of (cost per ounce times pour size) across every ingredient.
  • Pour cost %. Cost divided by retail, times 100. Color-shifts based on how it compares to the target.
  • Suggested price. What you'd charge to hit the target exactly. Tap to apply it as the menu price.

The target line

Underneath the percentage, you'll see something like "Well Priced Target 10%" or "Cocktail Target 20%." That's the goal this drink is being measured against. It comes from the tier ladder for spirits and from your bar-wide cocktail goal for cocktails.

The capsule bar

The single-color glowing capsule under the numbers visualizes where this drink lands. The fill grows as pour cost climbs, and the color shifts when you cross the target. It's a peripheral read, glance and go.

Note

The capsule isn't a rainbow gradient or an arrow indicator. It's a single color with a neon glow and a glass sheen. Calm in tier, warm out of tier. Designed to read in a busy service bar without stopping to interpret.
