What is PourCost?

PourCost is a cocktail costing app for bartenders and bar managers. Enter what you pay, what you pour, and what you charge. PourCost does the math and shows you which drinks are making money and which ones aren't.

Who it's built for

Bartenders dialing in their own specs, GMs running a cocktail program, and owners who are tired of redoing the math every time a distributor raises a price.

What it does

1. Bar Inventory. Every bottle, beer, wine, and housemade syrup with a real cost per ounce. Pull products from the Ingredient Database so you're not typing labels by hand.
2. Cocktails. Build a recipe and see the pour cost, margin, and a suggested Menu Price that hits your goal.
3. Quick Calculator. Price out a pour on the spot without saving anything, or convert oz to ml.
4. Batch. Scale a cocktail up for events or prep, with optional pre-dilution.

What it isn't

• Not a POS. It doesn't ring sales.
• Not an inventory counting system. It costs your drinks; it doesn't track what's left on the shelf.

Good first steps

• Set your wells in Setup (or Settings → Manage Wells).
• Check your pour cost goals and default pour sizes in Settings → Calculations.
• Build one classic cocktail and watch the meter.

PourCost is free for up to 50 ingredients and 25 cocktails. PourCost Unlimited, a one-time purchase, removes the limits.
