Bar Pour Cost Test

Inspection template for evaluating bar pour accuracy by measuring four standard pours to the ounce and comparing results against POS records.

Inspection Setup

• Bar, date, and inspector identified
  Record the location, inspection date/time, and inspector name or ID.
• Spirit or product under test selected
  Identify the liquor, bottle, or pour program being tested.
• POS sales record or pour spec available for comparison
  Confirm the POS record, recipe, or programmed pour quantity is available before testing.
• Measuring vessel and ounce markings verified
  Confirm the measuring vessel is readable and marked in ounces for accurate comparison.

Four Standard Pour Measurements

• Pour 1 measured ounces
  Record the first standard pour in ounces.
• Pour 2 measured ounces
  Record the second standard pour in ounces.
• Pour 3 measured ounces
  Record the third standard pour in ounces.
• Pour 4 measured ounces
  Record the fourth standard pour in ounces.

POS Comparison and Variance

• Expected POS pour amount recorded
  Enter the expected pour amount from POS or recipe spec in ounces.
• Pour 1 variance from POS
  Difference between measured Pour 1 and the POS expected amount.
• Pour 2 variance from POS
  Difference between measured Pour 2 and the POS expected amount.
• Pour 3 variance from POS
  Difference between measured Pour 3 and the POS expected amount.
• Pour 4 variance from POS
  Difference between measured Pour 4 and the POS expected amount.

Controls and Corrective Actions

• All four pours within acceptable tolerance
  Confirm each measured pour is within the approved tolerance of the POS pour amount.
• Variance or non-conformance documented
  Record whether any deficiency, non-conformance, or repeat variance was observed.
• Corrective action assigned
  Describe retraining, equipment adjustment, POS update, or supervisory follow-up required.
• Inspector notes
  Add any additional observations, including bottle condition, pour spout issues, or process concerns.
