How Our Bar Consultants Can Help

Our bar consulting services focus on optimizing bar operations and crafting unforgettable guest experiences that resonate on social media, ensuring a blend of sophistication and accessibility that drives revenue growth. Here’s how we achieve this:

Step One

Comprehensive Evaluation

Our bar and beverage consultants conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your current operations and bar program, including an in-depth analysis of your bar’s concept and its performance. We’ll benchmark your business against the local competition to identify how you stand out. Then, the team explores regional culinary traditions to inspire a cocktail and beverage program that appeals to guests but is unique to your establishment. We’ll also source vendors to provide local fresh ingredients.

The consultation also includes a detailed evaluation and suggestions for improvement for your bar and back-of-house, including equipment and storage solutions to help you streamline service and enhance the customer experience. This lays the groundwork for crafting an innovative, cost-effective strategy to elevate your bar to its fullest potential.

Step Two

Menu Framework & Development

Your consultants will help you craft a strategic blueprint that maps your current cocktail offerings and suggests new ideas for segmenting your menu into distinct sections that cater to your customer demographic while keeping costs in check without sacrificing quality. Together, we’ll create a cocktail menu that’s the right blend of offerings and strategic pricing that maximizes profits and delights customers.

Step Three

Menu Development

We’ll help bring your vision to life by crafting and fine-tuning cocktail recipes and bar staples and selecting wines that appeal to your guests and work with your bar’s concept. We use detailed menu engineering and recipe costing to balance guest appeal with cost efficiency. 

Training your bar staff improves the business, but empowering staff allows them to shine. We’ll give your team the tools they need to perform at their peak, like product knowledge sheets, station maps, and order guides. We’ll support you throughout your bar’s transformation with continuous follow-up, training, and an adaptive budgeting approach, ensuring your bar’s cocktails, wines, and other beverages are optimized and ready to adapt and flourish in the most cost-effective fashion.
