the bar is the highest margin thing you sell and the easiest place to lose money without anyone stealing anything. over-pour, a dirty line, a list nobody reads, an offer that sounded generous in the office. this is 10 Claude and Codex skills for the drinks side, built on the actual measures law rather than what the last manager said.

what they get you:

- a wine list that sells the middle of the list, not the cheapest bottle on it
- the same drink, whoever is behind the bar, at the margin you costed
- serve and display the measures the law requires, and stop the fine
- find the yield you are pouring down the drain
- a bar stocktake that finds the leak instead of just counting bottles
- decide which lines earn their place and which are costing you
- a no and low range that actually sells to the driver
- run a drinks offer without breaching your licence
- a team who can recommend, in twenty minutes a week
- work out whether the offer makes money before you print it

the three-liquid rule is the most misunderstood thing behind a bar, and it is one sentence. article 3(2) of the 1988 specified quantities order frees a spirit from the fixed measure only when it forms a constituent of a mixture of three or more liquids. so a gin and tonic is legally tied to 25ml or 35ml and multiples of them. a Negroni is not. that single line decides how you write every cocktail spec you own.

there is a live trap in the licensing conditions. legislation.gov.uk's page for the 2010 mandatory conditions order still displays the superseded schedule and flags the substitution as a change not yet applied. anyone reading the 2010 order on its own is reading conditions that stopped applying on 1 October 2014. the wording moved from "free tap water" to "free potable water" and the smaller-measures duty gained a separate printed-display limb. the pack is built on the current text.

and the wine duty easement ended on 31 January 2025, so wine is taxed on its real strength now. that is why the same bottle at 14.5% carries meaningfully more duty than one at 11%, and why a list written before last year is quietly costing you on every strong red.

half of them think it through in Claude, half get it done in Codex. one folder each. a minute to install.

no stocktaking company, no brewery's own margin calculator, no EPOS module. the law, your invoices and your own pour.

10 skills. one complete system.
and I'm giving the entire thing away for free

public information only, nothing invented. nothing in the pack sets a price for you or writes a promotion it has not checked against the mandatory licensing conditions. anything touching licensing, duty or weights and measures prepares the work for your licensing officer, your accountant or trading standards to check. it never pretends to be the advice.

Comment "POUR" and I'll send you the whole pack.
