Approximately 1 in 3 guests choose their drink based on the menu, so you need to make sure that your menu is working for you. Join our bar management experts, Matt Guest and Marios Zlatinis, as they show you what to do (and what not to do) when preparing menus. They’ll also offer advice to help you avoid the common pitfalls before sharing with you their recipes for success.
Modern bar menus shouldn’t be a list of everything you sell, but they should be about highlighting what you do best and inspiring customers to be more adventurous. Make sure you have your current menu to hand as you watch the video so you can reference it throughout.
