Liquor Menu size pricing guidance
I'm cleaning up the menus for two restaurants where they share employees so owners want both systems to be cohesive. Liquors were set up to have the shot price listed, modifier: DOUBLE created for each liquor with a price equal to double the shot price -$2.00.
We realized through conversation that this doesn't proportionately give the proper pricing for liquors with different price points and makes reporting a mess. Ex: A $12 well shot get's a $10 upcharge to make it a double where the $40 Don Julio 1942 gets an uncharge of $38.
I am proposing to change this to size pricing instead of base pricing. Our double pricing will be 1.8x
Is this current industry standard?
Another suggestion that has been thrown out is adding a third size price. 1. Single 1.5oz 2. Double 3oz and 3. Rocks 2oz
I've never seen this at bars/restaurants but I also don't order hard alcohol like this. So again, is this industry standard?
