Understanding Sales Mix vs. Profit Mix

It's a classic bar scenario: beer might make up a large portion of your sales volume (your sales mix), but because of its lower profit margin, it might contribute much less to your overall profit (your profit mix). Liquor, with its high margins, often punches well above its weight.

Profit Margin Formula: (Total Sales - Total Cost) / Total Sales

This tool highlights that critical difference. By seeing your sales mix next to your profit mix for both categories, you can instantly identify your true profit drivers. This knowledge is crucial for creating effective promotions, training staff, and making inventory decisions that boost your bottom line.
