Pourforma — free bar-management calculators
Free costing tools built by a bar manager, for bar managers. Everything runs on
your device; nothing is uploaded, and there is no account to make. Pourforma is
a free tool from Greg Bryson, founder of West Coast Ice Pro.
What it does
- Drink COG — cost a drink while you invent it: ingredients, pours, ice and garnish, because garnish is drink cost too.
- Prep COG — cost the syrup itself. Berries and sugar in, a bottled price out, carried into every drink that pours it.
- Inventory — your prices, from your invoices. An estimate is marked ~ until you type the real number, which marks it ✓ everywhere.
- My Menu — menus with specs, photos and costs; share the specs with staff without showing them your costs.
- Batcher — scale a recipe to a batch without breaking the spec: anchor bottle, dilution, pour-ready numbers.
- Acid Calc — adjust any juice to a target acidity, because you cannot un-squeeze a lime.
- Syrup Calc — hit an exact Brix without guessing.
- Event Ice — plan ice for a service or an event.
- Journal — write down a rep's dock quote before it evaporates, and compare frontline against deal pricing.
- Distributors — type a product and see who distributes it in Southern California, straight from current distributor books.
