Before choosing a set of beer equipment, the first thing to do is to count the beer consumption in your store. Beer consumption is seasonal, and you need to have a certain concept of daily and monthly consumption to ensure continuous drinking during peak seasons.
Taking Chengdu Customer Bar as an example, since its opening in 2013, it has been selling wheat white beer as its main product, with barley and black beer as auxiliary products.
Taking wheat white beer as an example: the price per liter is over 60 yuan (based on the local high-end bar market). During the peak summer season, 300-500 liters of white beer are sold per night, with a daily sales volume of over 10000 yuan. The bar, with its unique beer flavor and forward thinking business philosophy, has achieved a net profit of over one million yuan annually since its opening, making it a top tier bar in the local area.
2. Use site layout and other conditions
There are many examples of limitations due to site conditions such as water supply, drainage, electricity, ventilation, etc. It is recommended to provide the site drawings and the surrounding environment to the equipment supplier. If conditions permit, request the other party's personnel to first inspect the site and provide suitable solutions based on the site conditions.
A responsible craft beer equipment manufacturer will definitely design the layout according to your site after you purchase the equipment, so as to occupy a small amount of space while achieving the functionality of the equipment.
Taking the layout of conventional craft beer equipment as an example:
There are two main types of conventional craft beer equipment: 300L and 500L beer equipment. The common placement methods include straight line placement, right angle placement, and rectangular placement. The floor area statistics are as follows:
Floor Area (m ²) 300L500L Linear Placement 2234 Right Angle Placement 3350 Rectangular Placement 18.228A: 300L Linear Placement Plan: The site is 11 × 2 meters and covers an area of 22 square meters.
B. 300L right angle placement plan: The site is 8.4 × 3.9 meters and covers an area of 33 square meters.
C. 300L rectangular placement plan: The site is 5.2 × 3.5 meters and covers an area of 18 square meters.
D. 500L linear placement plan: site size of 13.5 × 2.5 meters, covering an area of 34 square meters.
3. Estimated investment costs required
Investing in a bar or hotel is not just about equipment, but also about estimating the later costs of raw materials, water, electricity, personnel, and other management expenses. It is to conduct a cost-benefit analysis in advance with the equipment manufacturer based on the local prices and consumption levels of the equipment installation site, and make a good investment plan.
