Liquor and spirits are the backbone of any bar business, but many operators are not utilizing efficient liquor management standards. When bar operations are loose with their inventory, they might eat away at their bottom line without realizing it.
Fortunately, technology can make this process easier, allowing operations to account for inventory and deliver precise pours every time. That's exactly what Skyflo can provide, a spirit dispensing system that helps operators clearly define profits while revolutionizing the world of liquor management.
The Secret Weapon for Boosting Efficiency in Bar Operations - Introducing Skyflo™
One of the main problems bars face with their inventory is overpouring. This happens for various reasons, but it's often associated with busy rushes when bartenders craft one drink after another.
How does Skyflo help? It can help alleviate overpours by attaching a metered dispensing unit to the bottle. Instead of trying to keep track of ounces and pours manually, the device does it all automatically. Even better, it transmits this data to a central server so operators can get a clear understanding of what's going out every night. Bartenders can adjust the pour sizes for single, double, and half shots as needed.
Pouring with Precision: How Every Drop Matters in Liquor Management
Consistency is crucial for bar operations for several reasons. First, if bartenders adjust their pour ratio based on arbitrary methods, that could create dissatisfaction among guests from inconsistent pours.
Another problem is that drinks won't taste the same when the amount of alcohol differs each time. Customers know what to expect when ordering their favorite cocktail, so bars must deliver on those expectations. When the second gin and tonic is much stronger than the first, customer expectations might not be met.
On the back end, inconsistent pouring leads to waste and money lost. When bartenders overpour regularly, the business could be losing hundreds of dollars of profits every month, adding up to big losses every year. Similarly, Skyflo eliminates employee theft, such as free or overpoured drinks for friends.
Crunching the Numbers: How the Skyflo ROI Savings Calculator Boosts Your Bottom Line
Investing in new technology can often be daunting, particularly if operators aren't sure whether the investment will pay off in the long run. Fortunately, Skyflo makes it easy to see the financial benefits by providing a handy ROI calculator. Operators simply put in their liquor costs and sales, and they can get an instant assessment of how Skyflo can help them save money.
Additionally, operators can see how much more money they can make thanks to the speed and efficiency of using these devices. When Skyflo handles the pouring for bartenders, they can serve more drinks in less time, thus increasing the profit margin of a bar.
Efficient Reporting Staff Accountability
Skyflo does a lot more than just maintain consistent pouring. Because it connects to a back-end inventory management system, operators can gain insight into their businesses. For example, it's much easier to see how and when certain drinks are ordered and how efficient employees are at serving each customer. From there, operators can make decisions on how to streamline their operations. For example, if some liquors are never ordered, the bar can stop stocking them in favor of spirits that generate more revenue.
Similarly, operators can see whether bartenders are moving slower than normal and identify the reasons why (i.e., slow POS system, complicated customer orders, etc.). Overall, Skyflow empowers bars to take better control of their operations and liquor management.
