Bar Operations

Training the Trainer
Strong teams are led by strong leaders. We and our partners offer an elite experience of some of the most reknowned mixologists and trainers in the industry. We offer workshops, digital classes, and hands on training to help guide the leadership team into growing greater teams and talent.
Crisis Management
Hospitality is very often compared to riding the edge of chaos. If the recent COVID epidemic taught us anything, its that one cannot be prepared for every contingency, and that oftentimes crises stack on top of each other. Building contingency plans, responsive teams, and managing risk is key to successful crisis management. Let us help you build a plan that works.
Risk Management
Priorities shift in the hospitality industry moment by moment. Safety should not be a priority, however, but ought to be woven into the fabric of an operation. We offer training for management and front line associates on hospitality safety and risk management, SOP development, and hazard awareness.
Talent Optimization
Talent can be difficult to find, but even more difficult can be creating and sustaining effective teams. We offer team building workshops, talent optimization, and engagement opportunities to help build a more cohesive and responsive culture.
