How to Keep Your Bar Ship Shape

The success of any business is making sure your premises is in tip top condition so that you keep your customers coming back. When you’re in the food and beverage industry, you’ve got to be extra vigilant to adhere to health and safety regulations. The difference with having a bar, however, is that it’s also the face of your business and it automatically reflects the quality of your services. This is why it’s important to implement a routine so that you can maintain a high standard and obtain a good reputation with returning custom.

Keep it Clean

You can never underestimate the power of cleanliness. When a bar is dirty it can turn off customers as soon as they walk through the door. How your bar looks is an indication of the care you take in other areas of the business behind the scenes. Bars are difficult to keep clean, as beer and spirits can get spilt regularly during busy shifts – this causes the bar top and the floor to become sticky with dried drinks which can cause a build up of bacteria if you’re not careful. Cleaning the bar area every night and a deep clean every week is a great routine to get into as it makes maintenance quicker and easier to take care of.

Keep it Stocked

Keeping your bar stocked is one of the basic rules of bar management. If you don’t have a particular product in stock then it’s going to result in disappointed customers. It can’t be helped, of course, if you run out of a product on a busy night, but if you’re not expecting a delivery for at least another week then your customers are going to look elsewhere. This drives your custom to other competitors and chips away at your reputation.

As most bars have draught beer on sale, this means that they also rely on gas to pump the beer from the cellar up to the bar. But gas can do much more than that – it also helps to keep your beer in excellent condition. Gas can also make your beer taste better, and it can extend the life of your customer’s beverage. Presentation is also a big thing when it comes to a perfectly pulled pint; lots of life and a good head are of highest priority for many customers.
