In bars and restaurants in the US, we order bottles of booze by the liter, serve their contents by the ounce, and charge by the dollar based on a target cost percentage. This makes for taxing math that we’d all rather not do. The Pour Cost app does that math for you, without the need to type anything in. You adjust the sliders to fit the product, cost, pour, and margin you desire — and Pour Cost does the work.
Taiv

Pour Cost's advantage is ratings volume (224 vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
