Rocks - Doubles - Long Pours

Important Note: The following information is intended only to inform and not to be a substitute for the reader's seeking legal or accounting counsel. Any information given here should be examined by the reader's attorneys or accountants as to such information's applicability.

Every point-of-sale system can provide you with a generic "Fixed Cost" button named Rocks, Double or Long Pour. Aloha can provide the same function but actually define the Up-Charge price based on the item being modified. The Aloha Liquor Up-Charge Button is designed as a Percentage. If you really think about it the Up-Charge price to the customer for ROCKS should not always be the same price. On the average a drink on the rocks contains 3/4 to 1 additional shot of Liquor. If the base price for "Speed Rack" Vodka is $3.00 and "Premium" Vodka is $4.00, why charge the same price for Rocks. Your losing money each time.

How It Works

When the database is designed for the restaurant, we create a customer defined Percentage Up-Charge for Rocks, Doubles and Long Pours. For Example the Rocks Up-Charge may be 40% times the base price instead of a fixed charge.

The Old Way
Premium Brand Vodka $3.00
Rocks 50 Cents $.50 Premium
Vodka on Rocks $3.50

The New Way
Premium Brand Vodka $3.00
Rocks @ 40% 1.20
Premium Vodka on Rocks $4.20

The Justification

In a restaurant that sells 500 "Premium Liquor" Rocks drink per Week the following cost justification would apply:

Rocks Sales Using Old Method $250.00

Rocks Sales Using New Method $600.00

Additional Revenue Per Month $350.00

Additional Revenue Per Year $4,200.00
