Restaurant Wine Markup Calculator

How It Works

This calculator helps benchmark bottle pricing and margin structure on a wine list.

1. Enter bottle cost and list price.
2. Set bottle and pour sizes to derive implied per-glass economics.
3. Review markup multiple, markup percent, gross margin, and per-glass values.

FAQ

Markup multiple is list price divided by bottle cost.

What is gross margin in this model?
