Putting The Bar In Barista

As businesses look to increase revenue and attract new customers there has never been a better time add a little bartender flair to barista skills.

Knowing customers habits, what they will want, and when, is all part of running a successful hospitality business. With disposable income at it's lowest in recent years being able to offer something special, and different to that of competitors, will help encourage new business. Introducing cocktails (or mocktails for non-licensed premises) to menus needn't be costly, or complicated. The skills of barista and bartenders overlap - a passion for quality and taste, attention to detail and presentation. As we move into the age of the BARisa, give your team an introduction to these simple recipes to awaken an interest in drinks more suited to night than day and see how profits grow.
