Your bartender

When you visit your favorite bars and restaurants, you may take for granted some of the things going on behind the scenes that can make the experience even more memorable. Whether you go out for happy hour with coworkers, get together with friends you haven’t seen in a while, or are celebrating a special occasion with family, the restaurant or bar you choose operates well because of how they run the business. Let’s look at three things you may not have known about bars and restaurants.

3 Things You Need to Know About Restaurants and Bars

You should always try something your bartender recommends

For the most part, bartenders are specialty trained whether they take classes or the restaurant trains them. Sometimes they train themselves. When you find a good bartender, they’ll be able to recommend something you’ll enjoy. This is a great way to find out about specials at the restaurant along with trying something new you didn’t know you’d enjoy. Some of the best drinks can be found this way.

Always, always ask what’s on tap before you order

If you’re a beer drinker, make sure to ask what’s on tap. This will vary from bar to bar, and you might be surprised that something you love is on tap that you normally get in a bottle. Drinking beer from the tap can bring out flavors you didn’t know existed. It can also introduce you to new beers you weren’t aware of when dining out or having a good time at happy hour.

They use software to make things run smoothly

Most restaurants use bar inventory software to help make the bar run smoothly. You might be surprised how complicated it can be to keep track of 50 different wines, 100+ varieties of liquor, and all the beers you can imagine. Can you imagine if all that was tracked by hand? Bar inventory software helps manage the inventory, reorder when low, and keep on top of what’s popular and what’s not. The helps restaurants serve the best possible spirits and keep your glasses filled.

Next time you visit a restaurant or bar, take a moment to appreciate what goes on behind the scenes to give you the meals, drinks, and service that keeps you coming back for more.
