How do you compare ounces poured vs ounces sold?
Last updated
Ounces poured equal the starting count plus deliveries minus the ending count. Ounces sold equal POS items sold times the recipe pour size. Variance is poured minus sold, shown in ounces and dollars. ExactPour runs that math after each count. The numbers below are an illustrative example, not a customer result.
Key facts
- Ounces poured = starting count + deliveries minus ending count.
- Ounces sold = POS items sold times recipe pour size.
- Variance = ounces poured minus ounces sold, in ounces and dollars.
- Example numbers on this page are illustrative, not a customer result.
- ExactPour automates the count, POS map, and dollar variance.
Three numbers, then the gap
Ounces sold
POS items sold times the recipe pour size for each item. Unmapped drinks do not count as sold.
Variance
Ounces poured minus ounces sold. Show it in ounces and in dollars. A gap is an investigation queue, not proof of theft.
Illustrative example
Worked example with illustrative numbers
These figures are an illustrative example. They are not a customer result, review, or typical outcome.
- Starting count
- 100 oz
- Deliveries
- 25 oz
- Ending count
- 45 oz
- Ounces poured
- 100 + 25 minus 45 = 80 oz
- POS items sold
- 50 drinks at 1.5 oz
- Ounces sold
- 50 times 1.5 = 75 oz
- Variance
- 80 minus 75 = 5 oz
- Illustrative bottle cost
- $0.80 per oz, so $4
How ExactPour automates the comparison
You count with a phone, connect Toast, Square, Clover, or GoTab, and map recipes. ExactPour computes ounces poured from the count and deliveries, ounces sold from tickets and recipes, and variance in ounces and dollars. Flagged products get a reason code so the leftover unexplained gap is small enough to investigate fairly.
