FAQ

What does break-even mean here?

It is the list price where BYO plus corkage equals ordering from the list.

Can BYO be more expensive?

Yes. If corkage is high and list price is low, BYO may not save money.

Should service quality affect decision?

Yes. Price is one factor; stemware, service, and policy limits matter too.
