Which is a better drink deal?

IrishJack89

My father and I are debating as to which is a more attractive deal. He wants 2 sell pitchers(4 pints in a jug) of any beer for €14 whereas I think he should jus make all pints €3.50 during the match. We're not usually a sports bar but have recently invested in a 100 inch tv and hd and are anxious to draw a crowd over the euros.. All opinions/advice is much appreciated..

Free drink would be the best deal

AND the place would be packed, guarenteed!

What's a sell pitcher?

NINJA EDIT: I realised just as I posted that "2" meant "to" in the OP.

My post was actually born from genuine curiosity/confusion, not Grammar Nazism.

NON-NINJA, REGULAR EDIT: I changed "two" to "to."

Give a free pint to all every time Ireland score....you will rake them in;)

A pitcher for 14 euro is fairly steep imo..

most bars sell pitchers for €10

€14 is a bit steep... also you only get 3 pints in a pitcher

Baseball term.

Basically it means to fool the pitcher into thinking you are doing something else.

shopaholic01

Same price, but it's likely that pitchers will be spilled so you'll sell more;)

Pitchers are normally two and a half pints. These bigger than normal! Why don't you do both?

bijapos

€3.50 a pint all the way.

Pitchers are not to everyones fancy.

Plenty of lads on their own or in twos or in groups drinking different stuff and don't want what the other fella is having.

Guinness in a pitcher looks and feels wrong!

Where To

Sell the pitchers for €3.50 and the pints for €14

Ghandee

Pitcher for a tenner.

Why don't the publican's in this country finally catch themselves on and realise:

Its better to make a small profit, on a LARGE number of patrons, than it is to gouge the shíte out of a few lads they manage to entice over the door?

Incidentally, you Gety a large number of folk through your doors, them folk will be spending more on just 'cheap beer'. Get them in, that's half the battle won.
They're gonna be telling all their mates about the great value pitchers in your pub too btw.

I think I'd rather your deal, I mean theres no price difference so I'd rather not have to splash out on the jug thing . Although I've never seen it.

Local pubs are doing free pints when Ireland score. You might as well throw that in, and maybe for a few of the other ****e teams as well.

Ireland score **** all goals so!

SomeFool

€3.00 per pint until the first goal is scored

Mushy

I'd say the €3.50 one cos then people can drink at their own pace. Also, pints in pitchers go dead and get spilled easier. Matches being on worknights won't help too much.

I'd prefer €3.50 pints, the pitcher deal might not appeal to someone watching it alone or only two people.

Tip my hat to that idea mutha funka

Mr Simpson

Go €3.50 pints, its more obvious to a customer that they are making a saving, also not everyone likes pitchers.

Edit: also, you'd be better off if you asked a mod to move this to Beers, Wines and Spirits forum

ManOnFire

pints a 3.50 id say, handier when your on your own. You'd want to be throwin them back quick enough with a pitcher

DB10

100 inch TV is a bit pricey is it not, if its just for the Euros?

I'm sure sports aren't going to end completely once Euro 2012 is over

3.50 does sound better than the pitcher. But what about 3 pints for a tenner.

I think €3.50 is a good deal, 3 pints for €10 and he makes 51c less, he's trying to draw customers and make a decent profit

IrishJack89

Cheers 4 the feedback guys. Pitchers can vary in size between 45-64 oz. He wants to do the pitcher so he can sell more in one go and would be willing to keep it going everyday whereas the 3.50 pints he is only willing to do during the match. We're giving away free shots for every goal ireland score btw..

cojomo2

3.50 pints and offer 4 pint pitchers slightly cheaper than buying 4 pints separate, say @ 13 euro.

A few things to bear in mind if you expect to be busy:
You need to buy pitchers, if you are busy it'll be a nightmare to wash pitchers as well as glasses, if you are busy how do you explain to customers that they will have to pay full price for a drink because you have run out of pitchers.

IrishJack89

3 pints for 10 could work but how could ya work it? Would people have to buy 3 in one go or would you give them tokens?

I'd do 3 at a time, they wouldn't have to be the same thing. You could do €3.50 pints and 3 for €10.

+1 on this, most pubs around me are doing this for months now. My local lets you pay for the 3 pints at once and you can either take all 3 at once or take one and get 2 tokens so you can get your other 2 when you want.

There is 2 real benefits to it, people always buy their pints in 3s so they end up drinking more. The other benefit for them is when people have paid for their pints and gotten tokens there will be a certain amount of people who forget about their tokens/loose them etc so there will always end up being more pints paid for than being pulled.
