How to Inventory Liquor

In this video, Jamie describes the pros and cons for the various liquor inventory methods available to your bar.
The most common way to take liquor inventory is to count everything using a clipboard and then compare these totals with your sales in order to calculate your liquor cost. The problem with this liquor inventory method is that liquor cost tends to hide problems amongst your shrinking product mix.
When you are not aware of the areas in which shrinkage affects your bar, you come to accept your standard liquor cost numbers as the best you can do. When you take the time to compare the performance of each product sold at your bar, you will most likely be surprised at the level of shrinkage you are experiencing.
