Twenty Per Cent Menu Lift? How Candid Mixers Are Changing the Bottom Line

Great design turns heads. Great product moves units.
Candid Mixers do both — and the numbers prove it.

We’re talking real sales data from some of the region’s most respected venues: hotels, spas, bars, and rooftops that have added Candid to their menus and seen double-digit uplifts in beverage performance.

This isn’t a vibe. It’s a result.

What the Data Says

Across 12 tracked pilot venues in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, Candid delivered:

  • +19–24% uplift in mocktail sales (within 60 days of menu placement)
  • +17% increase in check average when Candid mocktails were featured as welcome or recommended serves
  • 3x increase in social engagement per post when drinks used Candid mixers (vs. standard soda or syrup-based drinks)
  • 0 additional bar staff required in every case

“We didn’t change anything else — just swapped in Candid. Same margins, better visuals, more orders.”
— F&B Manager, boutique hotel chain

Why It Works (And Keeps Working)

Candid doesn’t just look good on a bar shelf. It performs in three lanes:

  1. Financially — strong perceived value, minimal waste, no ABV compliance
  2. Operationally — quick prep, very simple training, all-in-one format
  3. Experientially — elegant carbonation, stand-out can, mixologist credibility

This is why Candid drives higher average order value — not just for non-alc drinkers, but across the entire guest base.“Once we made it the default mocktail base, our team started recommending it naturally. Guests trust the visual and love the taste.”
