The Advantages of a "Less is More" Menu
One commonly re-occurring theme restaurants and bars are adopting is a “deconstructed” or simplified menu. Subscribing to the “less is more” school turns confusion into an easy experience by simplifying that decision process.
Wrist Burn (Why You Hurt at Work)
Bar and Kitchen staff develop painful issues which are the result of years of repetitive work. Wrist burn is commonly suffered throughout the hospitality industry which is a culmination of work load placed on the wrist.
No job, little work. Out drinking, huh?
FOUR REASONS TO FLICK YOUR WOODEN MUDDLER!
The bar's evolved since Prohibition!
One of many improvements has been the introduction of Occupational Health and Safety(OHS) regulations to mitigate food/drink contamination.
Doesn’t it then seem a little odd that the continuing use of wooden muddlers in North American bars and restaurants continues whilst in many other parts the wood muddler has been thrown into the recycling bin!
For those who haven’t yet flicked their wooden stick here's 4 reasons to re-think the issue:
1. Wood is porous, allowing bacteria to build up within the wood creating potential transmission issues.
2. Wood is likely to increase flavor retention (pass on flavors) between totally different drinks.
3. Varnish, pesticides and other nasties live in and on the wood which can be transferred into drinks.
4. Wood discolors easily making the muddler look very unappetizing.
Life’s already complicated so then who really needs all the extra hassles to then make it worse!
In a nut shell...isn’t it really time to "flick the stick"?!
SPIRIT LABELS: BACK TO FRONT
Every spirit brand has it's own unique story and history.
The story can usually be found at the back of the bottle, on a label!
What better way to keep bar staff informed , when encouraged to read both sides of a spirit bottles label particularly during slow times or obligatory bar bottle clean ups!
Imagine the info pearls located on a label.. becoming an invitation to explore , learn and hopefully retain fascinating information to educate attending guests.
Sometimes the story about a brand’s journey can be just as intriguing as the liquid contained within the bottle!
Give it a go.. there's everything to learn!
