Why This is an Opportunity
Craft cocktail culture is booming and most bars still price drinks by vibes. This is a satisfying calculator/CRUD app with a gorgeous UI opportunity, and bar owners would pay for it instantly because even small margin improvements add up to thousands per month.
Key Pain Points
- •You're charging $16 for a cocktail with high-end Japanese whisky and have no idea if you're making money on it
- •Ingredient prices change and you have no way to see which menu items just became unprofitable
- •Creating a new seasonal menu means re-calculating costs for 15 drinks by hand in a spreadsheet
- •You want to swap your well vodka but can't easily see the ripple effect across every drink that uses it
Original Discovery
Cocktail bars and craft bartenders track their menu recipes, ingredient costs, and pours — then see exactly what each drink actually costs to make vs. what they charge. Swap out a spirit and instantly see how it changes your margins. It's a drink menu builder that secretly teaches you the business side of running a bar.
