Every garnish prepped. Every bottle counted. Every shift covered.
Cocktail bars run on prep. When the mise en place isn't right, service falls apart. Make sure it's done — every shift, every bartender.
The problem
Cocktail bars depend on precise preparation. Syrups need to be batched, citrus juiced, garnishes cut, and ice programs maintained. When the opening bartender skips prep, the evening crew is slammed trying to catch up during peak hours. Owners rarely find out until a guest complaint or a bad review surfaces.
The solution
Structured checklists for each shift — opening prep, mid-shift handover, and closing duties. Bartenders check off tasks on their phone after scanning a QR code at the bar. Photo evidence proves the garnish station is stocked, the bar top is wiped, and the wells are refilled. Managers see completion rates in real time, and get alerted when critical tasks are missed.
Key features for cocktail bars
