To calculate the Pour Cost Percentage (PC):
\[ PC = \left( \frac{C}{SP} \right) \times 100 \]
Where:
Pour cost is a term used in the hospitality industry, particularly in bars and restaurants, to describe the cost of the ingredients used to make a drink as a percentage of the sale price of that drink. It is a critical measure for understanding the profitability of each drink sold and is used to set appropriate pricing and manage inventory effectively.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ PC = \left( \frac{2.50}{10.00} \right) \times 100 = 25\% \]
The Pour Cost Percentage is 25%.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ PC = \left( \frac{1.75}{7.00} \right) \times 100 = 25\% \]
The Pour Cost Percentage is 25%.
