Saturdays bring 1.44× an average day’s beverage revenue. Bottles are 71% of wine revenue early in the week, 65% on Saturday. With five Friday-Saturday weekends in October, the glass list is where you’ll win or lose the month.
Early-week diners are business tables and regulars who share a bottle. Weekend tables are bigger and mixed: some drink wine, some cocktails, some nothing, so they order by the glass.
- Run bottle features Monday–Thursday.
- On weekends, make sure every by-the-glass wine is open and the bar is staffed for volume.
