In the race to control costs, operators are increasingly turning to dehydrators to dry seasonal fruit to use for edible and decorative cocktail garnishes(wheels).
Buying bulk fruit in season when it’s cheap; to dehydrate for year round use saves money, right?
We’re curious to ask operators whether the entire chain from cost of fruit, to labour, processing and power costs makes the whole process financially viable.....or is the whole thing just a Wheel Of Fortune?
For bakers, measuring is imperative when it comes to baking the perfect cake. And the requirements for a bartender to make a top-notch cocktail are just the same. Read our blog to find out why measuring is a must.
Speed is what the customer sees, whereas efficiency is what the bar owner measures in dollars. Efficiency is a behind the scenes measure of doing things in the easiest cost-effective manner, resulting in a more enjoyable working environment for bartenders so they can serve more customers at a high level of quality.
Whilst cost cutting is a strategy which produces an outcome(s), does it longer term produce sustainable ROI (return on investment)?
Usually ROI should be measured by the costs of “doing something” versus the “value” delivered.
When implementing a cost cutting program, it’s so important to conduct a 360 degree examination of impacts and consequences before implementation is considered.
