Like beer, wine and liquor can be mapped directly to a product in Garde. No recipe required.
To get started, head to Accounting > PMIX Mapping. Make sure you’ve completed your PMIX Setup first. Set your filters at the top of the page so the POS buttons you need are visible.
Glass vs. bottle — know the difference in scales. When you sell a full bottle, the scale is simply 1. When you sell by the glass, the scale is a fraction of the bottle. A 6oz pour from a standard 750ml bottle, for example, uses a scale of 0.236588. Getting this right is what makes your theoretical usage numbers accurate. If your bar sells the same wine by the glass and by the bottle, you’ll map the same product to both POS buttons — just with different scales.
Mapping a Bottle of Wine
Let’s walk through mapping a bottle of Kung Fu Girl Riesling.
Even though a glass of this wine uses less product than a full bottle, you don’t need a recipe. Recipes are only required when a single POS button pulls from more than one product.
- Triple-click the field in the Recipe/Product column next to the bottle of wine.
- Type the product name and select it from the dropdown.
Once selected, you’ll see the unit of measure in the Unit column and how much was purchased during the selected date range in the Purchased column.
The scale on the right side of the screen tells Garde how much product is used each time this POS button is pressed. For a full bottle, the scale stays at 1. Every time a bottle of Kung Fu Girl Riesling is sold, one bottle gets marked as sold in the theoretical report.
Mapping a Glass of Wine
The steps are the same as the bottle, with one difference: the scale.
- Triple-click the Recipe/Product field next to the glass-pour button.
- Type and select the same product (same bottle of wine).
- Set the scale.
A 6oz glass is not a full bottle, so you need to enter the fraction of the bottle each pour represents. For a 6oz pour from a standard 750ml bottle, the scale is 0.236588. You can look this up in the table below or on the PMIX Mapping Scales page.
Liquor works the same way. A 1.5oz pour of vodka from a 1L bottle? Find the 1.5oz row and the 1L column in the table below. The scale is 0.04436. Just map the liquor product to the POS button and set the scale for your standard pour size.
