Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle bar setup and breakdown?

click down

Yes. Our Bar Production teams manage full bar setup, from assembling stations to stocking supplies, and complete breakdown after service. We return unused stock, pack glassware, clean the bar area, and follow venue protocols, allowing bartenders to stay guest-focused. This behind-the-scenes support speeds service, keeps work areas organized, and ensures the bar operates smoothly from start to finish without pulling bartenders away from guests.

Can you prepare cocktails in advance?

click down

Absolutely. We batch cocktails, syrups, and mixers to your recipes, label them clearly, and store them safely. This reduces wait times and keeps quality consistent. During service, we rotate stock and maintain clean workspaces so bartenders focus on presentation and guest interaction. That way the bar runs faster and feels more professional throughout service.

Bartenders remain guest-facing while we maintain speed, safety, and appearance.

How do you coordinate with my bartenders?

We begin with a joint briefing so both teams know the menu, timing, and service style. During the event, our production crew restocks, preps, and resolves supply needs while bartenders serve guests. Clear communication handles requests quickly and avoids delays. This teamwork keeps service smooth, protects your timeline, and maintains clean, organized bars.
