Drinks demand analysis

The operator jobs behind Drinks searches
Interpret observed language, identify required evidence, and preserve record authority before proposing Tools.
- 1
Maintain the sellable Drink
Define the beverage offered by the Kitchen, whether packaged, poured or mixed, and connect its operational references.
Drink owns sellable beverage identity and specification. A bottle Ingredient, cocktail Recipe and Menu placement remain separately authoritative.
Evidence: beverage menu management · cocktail specification sheet
- 2
Know what beverage stock is available
Count bottles, containers or measured quantities and understand movements, variance and replenishment needs.
Inventory owns stock observations and movements. The Drink capability provides a beverage-focused doorway and never stores a second stock truth.
Evidence: bar beverage inventory software · bar stock count app
- 3
Standardise mixed drinks
Record ingredients, measures, method, glassware, garnish, yield and batch conversion for a cocktail.
Recipe owns method, measures and yield. Drink references the approved Recipe used to produce it.
Evidence: cocktail recipe management software · cocktail batch calculator
- 4
Calculate evidenced cost per serve
Roll Ingredient prices and Recipe measures into a per-Drink direct cost or pour cost.
The calculation must preserve units, effective prices, yields and missing evidence. Suggested price is a proposal, not canonical Menu price.
Evidence: cocktail cost calculator · liquor pour cost calculator
- 5
Review the beverage offer
Compare Drink availability, displayed price, placement and bounded sales or contribution evidence.
Menu owns placement and displayed price; Finance owns sales measures. DrinksAI can assemble a review but cannot mutate either silently.
Evidence: drink menu engineering · cocktail menu profitability
