# How to Optimize Your Bar's POS, Part 2: Deep Dive & Examples

 

In Part 2 of our POS optimization series, we move from theory to reality.

Bar-i CEO Jamie Edwards uses a real-world POS data export to show specific, common examples of how generic buttons and incorrect setups lead to daily profit leaks. Learn why the "one drink, one button" philosophy is critical and see if your bar is making these common mistakes with different pour sizes, signature drinks, and beer notations.
