I have been running an overall liquor cost in the low 20s (between 19% and 24%)...However my beer cost is usually in the low to mid 30s (b/t 30%-35%) and the liquor (which is the biggest expense thankfully) runs b/t 17%-20%) each week.

My question is: is this normal? Do any of you out there have a high beer percentage, and a low liquor or vice versa? Is that a high beer percentage too? Should I be running a lower % on beer? I've asked a major chain restaurant here (TGIFridays) and the bar manager said that's pretty low and they run in the high 20s.

ANYone pls help

Your beer cost are way too high. Are you giving it away? What is your pricing?
