Sizes and pricing: glass, bottle, half, pint

Updated: 2026-05-25

Sizes and pricing

Also known as: multi-size pricing, glass and bottle, by the glass, by the bottle, half pint, pint, tamaños, formatos, copa, botella, pinta, tercio.

Many bar and restaurant products are sold in more than one format — a wine by the glass and by the bottle, a beer by the half and by the pint, a spirit as a single and a double. brasio handles this with sizes: each product can have a list of size options, each with its own label, volume and price. The server picks the size when adding to the ticket.

Add sizes to a product

  1. On the till, go to Admin → Catálogo and open the product.
  2. Scroll to the Tamaños section. By default a new product has one default size (the row marked Habitual).
  3. Tap Añadir tamaño for each additional format. For a wine: Copa and Botella. For a draught beer: Caña, Tercio, Pinta.
  4. Fill in:
    • etiqueta — the label the server sees and that prints on the ticket (Copa, Botella, Pint).
    • ml/u — volume in ml (or units for things sold by count). A glass of wine might be 150 ml, a bottle 750 ml.
    • precio € — the sell price for that size (VAT included).
    • coste neto € — the supplier cost for that size (net of VAT). Used for the live GP% margin readout. See Cost prices and GP margins.
  5. Pick which size is the default (Habitual / Por defecto). The default is what the size picker preselects.
  6. Save.

How the server picks a size

On the till, when a server taps a product that has more than one size:

  1. A modal opens titled Elegir tamaño — {product} (Pick a size — {product} in English).
  2. Each size appears as a tappable button: label, volume, price, and a Habitual pill on the default.
  3. Tap the size. The line is added to the open ticket with that size and its price.

A product with only one size adds straight to the ticket — no picker.

How sizes show on tickets and reports

  • The kitchen ticket and customer receipt show product · size, so a Marqués · Copa is unambiguously different from Marqués · Botella.
  • The Ventas sales report groups by product and size — a glass of Marqués and a bottle of Marqués are separate rows. See Sales report by product and size.
  • Sizes can be exported via the catalog CSV/XLSX. See Export your catalog.

Sizes and the container model

For wines, spirits and kegs, brasio has a container model that auto-derives the per-pour cost from the bottle/keg cost. Tick Viene en un envase que dividimos en raciones in the product editor, set the container ml and the container cost, and brasio calculates coste por ración = (ml de la ración / ml del envase) × coste del envase. You can still override any size's cost by hand.

This is why a wine sold as Copa (150 ml) and Botella (750 ml) can have its glass-cost automatically computed from the bottle's net cost — no double-entry. See The container model: kegs, bottles, spirits.

Sizes and bottle-tracking inventory

For wines sold by the glass and by the bottle, brasio tracks both: bottles in stock, glasses left in the open bottle, and glasses per bottle. When a server sells a glass, brasio decrements the open-bottle counter; when the open bottle runs out, the next sealed bottle opens automatically. See Inventory tracking.

Not working?

  • The size picker doesn't appear: the product only has one size configured. Add another in the product editor.
  • The wrong size is preselected: tap Hacer predeterminado (Make default) on the row you want as the default, then save.
  • The price doesn't match what the customer was quoted: check that the right size is selected on the line; Copa and Botella sit one tap apart and it's easy to grab the wrong one.
  • I want a size for take-away vs eat-in: sizes are for format, not VAT tiers. For different VAT, use two products.
