Accessories And Equipment For Bars That Are Essential Yet Overlooked

Keeping good track of your bar stocks is an important put in the successful running of the joint. The inventory should include the food, the accessories, the equipment, and the cleaning supplies.

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. That also means you don't have to hire a lot of people to staff your bar. You will see most of these accessories and equipment behind the bar counter. These equipment and accessories, however, are most often taken for granted and overlooked. Their importance is realized only 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. Here, bottle openers will be of great importance. 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. You may need a cork or screw extractor to open certain bottles of wine. Bottle pourers are also needed since they facilitate pouring of drinks, minimizing incidences of spills when pouring the drinks.

There is also a high demand for straight drinks that are poured directly from the bottle. On the other hand, there are still drinks that would have to be mixed, an example of which are the various cocktails. For these drinks, you would have to make use of shakers and even a blender. Just pop in some ice cubes and fruit on the blender and soon you'll have a fruit drink. The shaker will came in handy when you have to mixes several drinks together. There are different sizes to these shakers and you should get as much as you can. When ordering drinks, customers would have a specific amount of the drinks in mind. Your bar should have drink measures for this. Spirit and wine measures are also important since they would help you correctly measure the drinks you serve and avoid serving up too much or too little alcohol.

Of course you'd also place a lot of importance on the service. How you serve the drinks to the customers matters. Therefore, you should also pay attention on what they will be drinking on. If you managed to choose the right kind of glasses, you also have to make sure you choose the proper and complementary accessories for them. That includes the straw, stirrers, and even the 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.

You should also keep in mind that knives are important. You must have seen slices of lemon placed on some drinks, or some other garnishes added to them. Therefore, you would need a sharp knife to slice, dice, cut and peel these garnished. By understanding how a bar runs the kind of service demands expected, you can easily identify with the other bar equipment necessary for your establishment.
