What the table says: Pornstar Martini is growing (148 → 197) — prep extra. La Cabra Espresso moves around (106 one week, 158 another) — keep its bottles stocked. Classics stay near 204 a week, so the basics never get skipped. Wine adds ~67 pours a week on top of the cocktails. ~57 thank-you drinks a week are comped — free to the guest, not free to make, so count them in prep too.

Bottle Math

1One bottle ≈ 17 cocktails, or 13 pours on the rocks. One bottle of wine = 5 glasses.

2The bar makes ~810 cocktails a week — about 50 bottles of spirits.

3Friday + Saturday bring 60% of our guests, so the shelf must be full before Thursday.

4If vanilla vodka, Laelia, Haku or Mujen is low, order it first — the top 4 cocktails depend on those four bottles.

When the Room Fills

Guests served each night of the week in August — so you know which nights get busy.

Tuesday238 · ~60/night

Wednesday347 · ~87/night

Thursday721 · ~180/night

Friday889 · ~222/night

Saturday1,196 · ~239/night

Sunday107 · ~54/night

Thursday's number hides one giant night — Thursday, August 6: 429 guests, the biggest of the month. A normal Thursday is closer to 100.

The rush is 9 to 10 pm — a quarter of the month's guests come through in that one hour. Batching, juicing and restocking need to be done before 9.

On average a table is 2–3 guests, and almost every guest orders a cocktail. One busy Saturday ≈ 240 guests ≈ 230 cocktails ≈ 14 bottles.

Juice & Purée Log
