 License

states: States in which beverage wholesalers (and sometimes manufacturers and distributors) are allowed to sell alcoholic beverages directly to foodservice establishments  Control states: States in which the state government actually sells some or all alcoholic beverages through its own network of stores, thus exercising complete control Transparency 13-5

 Quantity

of an item delivered must equal the quantity ordered  Quality of an item delivered must be the same as the quality ordered  Price on the invoice for each item delivered should be the same as the price quoted or listed when the order was placed Transparency 14-1

1. Maintain an up-to-date file of all beverage orders placed 2. Remove the record of an order from the file when a delivery arrives and compare it to the invoice presented by the delivery driver 3. Before the driver leaves, check brands, dates, or both, and count or weigh delivered goods 4. Compare the invoice to the order Transparency 14-2

5.Call to the attention of management and the delivery driver any broken or leaking containers and any bottles with broken seals or missing labels 6.Note all discrepancies between delivered goods and the invoice on the invoice itself 7.Sign the original invoice and return it to the driver. 8.Record the invoice on the beverage receiving report 9.Notify the person responsible for storing beverages that a delivery has been received Transparency 14-2 (cont’d)

Method I 1.Total number of ounces in bottle ÷ Standard portion size (ounces) = Number of drinks per bottle 2.Cost of bottle ÷ Result from Step 1 = Standard drink cost Method II 1.Cost of bottle ÷ Total number of ounces in bottle = Cost per ounce 2.Result from Step 1 × Standard portion size = Standard drink cost

1.The Cost Approach  Cost percent methods  Monthly calculations  Cost calculations by category  Daily calculations 2.The Liquid Measure Approach  Ounce-control method 3.The Sales Value Approach  Actual sales record method  Average sales value method  Standard deviation method

+ = – =  

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  

Value of beverages issued to the bar +/– Inventory differential = Cost of beverages consumed Beverage cost percentage = Beverage cost ÷ Beverage sales Transparency 16-2

Added to beverage cost  Food to bar (directs)  Storeroom issues  Mixers Subtracted from beverage cost  Managers’ drinks  Special promotions

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   Example Bottle size: 1 liter; drink size: 1 ounce 33.8 drinks per bottle 33.8 × $3.00 = $101.40

Transparency 16-4

By comparing the price of the alcohol sold as straight drinks to the price of the mixed drink, a more accurate picture of potential sales values emerges

Transparency 16-5

To find the differential:   Sales value of bottle of alcohol ÷ Number of ounces in bottle = sales value/ounce  Sales value/ounce x Number of ounces in mixed drink = Sales value of alcohol sold as straight drinks  If sales value of alcohol sold as straight drinks > sales price of mixed drink, then the difference between the two figures is the negative mixed drink differential  If sales value of alcohol sold at straight drinks < sales price of mixed drink, then the difference between the two figures is the positive mixed drink differential  Finally, multiply the +/– differential by the number of mixed drinks sold to determine the adjusted total bottle sales value for spirits

1.Determine the number of employees needed to serve a specified number of covers in a certain time period Example: 8 servers for 500 covers in a threehour lunch period 2.Standard work hours = Number of servers × Number of hours 8 servers × 3 hours = 24 work hours

Number of standard work hours × Hourly wage = Standard cost Example: 24 hours × $4.00 per hour = $96 standard cost

Studies show that people tend to prefer learning things in one of three ways:  By  By

hearing information (oral) seeing information (visual)  By doing the skill (kinesthetic)
