From the moment we book your free consultation, we gather the appropriate information to understand the gap in your bar strategy along with your business goals. We look at all aspects of your bar and conduct a business analysis to understand your strengths along with areas of improvement.
While the quantity of bartenders you have on board is important for your forecasted daily traffic, it’s equally important to consider the quality of skills your bartenders have. From product knowledge to efficiency, these qualities allow your bar to deliver service not just in a timely manner but in a proper process that helps reduce loss in revenue.
Whether you are hiring a new team of bartenders or adding to an existing team, we can help. From liquor product knowledge and technique right down to sales and delivery, we’re with your team from hiring, training, right down to final evaluations.
The amount of labour your schedule in a week, a day, and right down to every hour matters. It not only comes to head count and foot traffic – it also comes down to the different level of skill each of your bartenders are able to offer individually and as a team.
We work with you to understand your foot traffic and flow to ensure your bar labour scheduling is managed in the most efficient and effective way possible. We do this by assessing each member of your bar team and how they work together as well as how they collaborate with your servers.
Look at your bar. Go ahead. Have a seat at your bar and gaze up at the liquor displayed. Now think about how much more liquor you have in storage. To a patron, it may be a beautiful scene. For a restaurant owner, it’s a moment to think about which liquor is collecting dust and opportunities to move product. Are you underselling your products? But most of all, are you under-charging your products?
That’s when we come in. We work with you to ensure you have a proficient tracking process that allows you to monitor waste and supplies to purchase in an efficient manner. From scanning inventory to see what is and what is not needed to creating and organizing space for bar supplies and quick access zones, we’re your go-to professionals.
Your beverage menu should be able to complement the dishes you offer. And while your dishes evolve, so should your beverage menu.
Whether you are building a brand-new beverage menu or looking to revamp an existing one, we’re up for the challenge. From signature cocktail creations and draft selections to wine by the glass and by the bottle, we create beverage menus that align with your food menu and brand.
We want to see how we’ve helped your bar flourish and one way to do that is by monitoring liquor sales over time – before us, while you’re working with us, and when we’ve completed our program. We create tracking strategies that allow you to get a visual on what liquor sales promotions are working for you and provide sales techniques for your team to support your liquor revenue growth.
