Home | Products | Contact | About Us | Site Map | Previous Page

By entering information about your business, you can calculate your current liquor losses. Turn these losses into cost savings by using liquor control equipment and liquor dispensers from Berg Company™.

In the following formulas, * means multiply and / means divide.

CostPerCase = your average cost of a case(12 bottles x 1 Liter each) of liquor

The estimated national average losses from spillage, over-pouring, and giveaways is 6 oz.

LostPerL = your estimated oz lost per liter

NumCasesWk = Number of cases of liquor you go through per week

RetailPrice = your average retail price of a drink

The estimated industry average is 3.4 drinks sold per liter that never reach the register

LostSold = Estimate how many drinks were sold per liter but never reached your register

CostPerOz = (CostPerCase / 12) / 33.8

RetailLoss = RetailPrice * LostSold * 12 * NumCasesWk

WholeLossCase = LostPerL * 12

WholeLossWeek = NumCaseWk * WholeLossCase

RetailLossBottle = RetailPrice * LostSold

RetailLossCase = RetailLossBottle * 12

RetailLossWeek = NumCasesWk * RetailLossCase

RetailLossMonth = 4.3 * RetailLossWeek

TotalLossMonth = RetailLossMonth + WholeLossMonth

Your wholesale cost loss per case = WholeLossCase

Your weekly wholesale cost loss = WholeLossWeek

Your Monthly wholesale cost loss = 4.3 * WholeLossWeek

Your retail loss per bottle = RetailLossBottle

Your retail loss per case = RetailLossCase

Your weekly retail loss = RetailLossWeek

Your monthly retail loss = RetailLossMonth

Your total average liquor losses per month = TotalLossMonth

Your total liquor losses per year = 12 * TotalLossMonth
