Sushi bar. This format of establishments today is very popular, it must be remembered that the profitability of a sushi bar directly depends on the cost of the finished dish, and not on the drinks. Here drinks are in addition to the dishes, i.e. you can put a bigger markup on beer, wine or cocktails, but leave the kitchen with a minimum markup, focusing on the foodcost. It is convenient to control these parameters in the program for accounting in the sushi bar.
Fresh bars serve freshly squeezed juices, milkshakes, coffee, etc. instead of beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages. There are even bro-bars, but such places belong to the beauty-industry. Therefore, it is better to stop at the classic options. Depending on the type of bar chosen, a list of necessary equipment is made and the cost is calculated.
