Your Bar P-Mix Report Shows Which Sales Are Costing You Money
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your revenue can look good while your margins get worse.
That is why total sales are not enough.
Your P-Mix shows if those sales actually helped your bar or quietly cost you money.
In this episode I break down what P-Mix really measures, how to pull it from your POS, and the five places to look first: category mix, day parts, server and bartender performance, item velocity, and pour size.
Each one shows a decision you can make this week.
If you manage your bar by total sales alone, you are guessing.
The profit is not just in how much you sold.
It is in what sold, when it sold, and who sold it.
