What the research says

Why this matters

Most sources are vendor blogs and trade press, so the figures are rough benchmarks. Nothing here has been audited, and ForeSure is not affiliated with any company named.

Par is the minimum on hand to cover demand until the next delivery. It guards against ordering too much out of fear.

Pars should move with the season. A Northeast club needs very different seltzer pars in July and October.
