Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as over-pouring?
Over-pouring is any amount poured beyond your standard recipe or house pour size, often due to free-pouring without a jigger or measured spout.
How can I reduce pour waste?
Using measured pour spouts, training staff on standard pours, and regular spot-checks with a jigger can significantly cut down on waste.
Does this account for spillage during prep?
No, this focuses specifically on excess liquid poured into drinks beyond the standard recipe amount, not spillage or breakage.
