Milliliter quantities connect the sellable drink to one or more liquor items.
Define the measured pour behind the drink
A pour recipe connects the sellable drink to its liquor ingredients and milliliter quantities. That creates a consistent expected movement for a configured sale instead of subtracting one whole bottle for every cocktail.
Deplete bottle stock in fractional quantities
Completed sales can apply the measured recipe against liquor inventory. Fractional bottle depletion keeps the expected quantity aligned with the unit actually used by the bar.
Count sealed spares and the open bottle
A physical count can combine full spare bottles with the observed amount in an open bottle. The closing manager records what is physically present rather than rounding the shelf into whole units.
Use directional variance as an investigation signal
LiftedPOS can compare system quantity with the physical count and show directional variance plus estimated cost context. The signal tells management where to investigate; it does not label a cause on its own.
Make the count procedure part of rollout
Configure real bottle sizes and representative drink recipes, complete sample sales, enter a physical count, and compare expected and observed movement. Assign the manager who owns the explanation and reconciliation step.
Close one controlled measured-pour scenario
Configure known bottle sizes and a representative milliliter recipe, complete sample drink sales, record spare and open-bottle quantities, and compare system stock, observed stock, directional variance, and estimated cost. Assign the manager who owns the explanation.
Configure a test drink, complete a sale, record a physical bottle count, and review the directional variance. Availability can depend on enabled modules, hardware, payment setup, role, location, and rollout configuration.
Move from the feature to the operation
This capability shares customer, employee, product, location, transaction, and reporting context with the rest of LiftedPOS. The value is not a checked box. It is the handoff the operation no longer has to rebuild.
