What is a pro forma?
Pro forma is a method of calculating financial results using certain projections or assumptions and the results are used by management for aiding in business decisions and developing a business plan and investment structure.
Unlike other self-pour solutions, our technology collects data for every ounce poured across all iPourIt systems and we’re able to use that historical data to help improve our predictive success.
Pro forma assumptions
When developing a self-pour pro forma, we’ll consider two different approaches so that we can triangulate the data and get more accurate results.
Volume
- By number of ounces sold by tap count
- Historical data: best practice, average and under-performer
Occupancy
- By number of patrons served
- Historical data: patron spend, throughput and turnover
- Number of taps
- Product offering
- Food or no food
- Selling price
- Cost of goods
- Location size
- Seat count
- Patio & outdoor seating
- Seasonality %
- Spend per visit
- Turnover
- Total patron count per year
- Lease expense
