Keeping good track of your bar stocks is an important put in the successful running of the joint. That includes taking careful note of the equipment, accessories, the cleaning supplies, and also the edibles.
Bar equipment and accessories - the right ones - are required to make a bar complete and functioning. These aid in offering every possible service to the customers and makes work easy for the staff. Hiring a lot of people would not be necessary as well. You will see most of these accessories and equipment behind the bar counter. Many of this equipment are so common in most bars that they are taken for granted, only to become vital tools when they are missing.
Drinks are served up primarily at the bar. A lot of bottles of drinks are expected to have been opened in one business day. This is wher the bottle openers come in handy. The drinks will be served to the customers even faster. You can install special openers on the counter top or have those hand held opens hanging from the cabinets. You can also give several waiters openers to serve those at the tables. For opening certain wine bottles, you may find that the only ones you can use are cork or screw extractors. To avoid spills or leaks when pouring drinks from a bottle to a glass, you should make sure to use one of those bottle pourers.
Straight drinks poured direct from a bottle will be highly in demand. But cocktails and other special drinks that are actually mixes of various drinks are also popular. Such tastes will require you to have shakers and blender at the serving counter. With some fruits and a few ice cubes, you can immediately create a fruit drink using the blender. A shaker would be most useful when mixing two or more unique drinks together. There are different sizes to these shakers and you should get as much as you can. Naturally, customers would place their drinks orders in specific quantities or amounts. Your bar should have drink measures for this. Never discount the importance of these spirit and wine measures since they will help in making sure drinks are not wasted and you are not serving too much or too little.
The service would also be of huge importance. How you serve the drinks to the customers matters. The same applies to what they will use to drink. Choose the right kind of glasses and pair them with the proper accessories, such as straws, stirrers, and umbrellas. Those serving at the tables will need to have trays to carry drinks to the customers, and also clear the tables when customers are done. It is also important to have ice buckets close by especially because most customers prefer to have their drinks chilled.
It would also be a mistake to overlook the knife. A number of drinks will go down with a slice of lemon, and some will use garnishes. Slicing and dicing these lemons and garnishes would require the use of a sharp knife. A clear understanding of how the bar works and operates, and about its needs and resources would give you a pretty good idea about what accessories and equipment for bar you should have in your possession.
