The Real Cost of Bottle Loss

Retailers are scrutinized for their profits like never before. Whether a company has to report to franchise owners, shareholders or investment firms, someone is always looking at the bottom line profit. In the case of anyone who does alcohol sales, the cost of losing even one bottle is astronomical.

First you have to look at the cost of the bottle lost. Then you have to start adding up how much it would be to replace that bottle. It’s not just the price of a new bottle; there are many other associated costs.

You have to add up the margin loss on the first bottle, and the cost of any manager or employee to investigate that theft. Don’t forget the labor cost of checking inventory on hands to reorder the correct amount of product. There are labor costs to receive, unload and merchandise the new bottle, all overhead costs such as taxes, electricity and rent…. The list can go on and on.

While using products like EASy Bottle Bottle Locks by Alpha Security’s can be an initial investment, the long-term price of bottle security pays for itself in the end.

To use this type of bottle security, labor is only used once to apply the bottle locks. To detach the bottle locks takes only a moment of time at the POS. It is much quicker than trying to figure out what happened to a bottle of alcohol. Long term payouts with a short-term investment always make prying eyes happy!
