Add an Ingredient

Your Bar Inventory is the foundation. Every cocktail and every batch costs out from this list, so a minute of care per bottle pays off.

The flow

1. Open Bar Inventory and tap Add.
2. Search the Ingredient Database by brand or product name. It covers spirits, beer, wine, and common modifiers and mixers.
3. Tap a match to preview it, then tap Save. The form fills in the name, type, and Product Size.
4. Enter your cost: what you pay the distributor for one bottle, not the shelf price.
5. Check the pour size and Menu Price. Both start from your defaults in Settings → Calculations.
6. Save. The ingredient lands in your Bar Inventory.

What each field does

• Type. Spirit, Beer, Wine, Non-Alc, or Garnish. Sets the default pour size and which pour cost goal applies (beer to your beer goal, wine to your wine goal, everything else to your cocktail goal).
• Product Size. What you buy: 750ml, 1L, or 1.75L bottles, 12oz or 16oz cans, a half-barrel keg.
• Cost. Your price for one of that Product Size. Use what's on the distributor invoice, not the shelf price.
• Pour size. Your standard pour for this product. A recipe can still call for more or less.
• Menu Price. What you charge for one pour. Juices, syrups, and garnishes are usually marked Not For Sale, since they only show up inside cocktails.
