Improving behind the bar.

In a previous blog post, I posted that my fiance and I made some observations to help improve the service we provide.   Today I made a few purchase to hopefully make those observationsinto reality.

One major issue I have is the ice bin.  The #flairco portable bar uses the standard buss bin as the ice bin.   The problem is that the water from melting ice sits in there too.  Making all the ice watery.   Today I purchased a Perforated Bus Box insert that lifts the ice up about 1 inch, and allows the water to drain below into the bin.   I will test it out this weekend.  

Next I purchased a second large OVERSIZED SPILL MAT.  I will use this on both sides of the bar to allow both bartenders space to drain the tins and glasses. 

I also purchased a small Serving Tray .   I noticed that people tend to order shots several at a time.  Often they take them to their friends at a table.   The tray is to place all the shots on it to make transporting them easier.  Just a little something to make the party more enjoyable for all.  

Just a some little tips to make the business of private bartending more efficient.
