I keep screaming into the void when it comes to training your people. If you claim to be the best but don't invest in training and development, you aren't reaching your own, your venues, or your teams' full potential.

10 staff, 4 courses, $30 a shift ($3 a staff member), maximum ROI!

"Somehow we went from bartenders playing reanimator with forgotten cocktails, to bartenders reimagining themselves as Michelin-starred chefs." @davidwondrich.bsky.social The riff on an experimental Sidecar explains a lot about today's creative mixology craze. Cheers 🍸

Why Is My Drink So Damn Weird?
When every cocktail is an experiment in novelty, ordering feels like a gamble. But if history teaches us anything, it’s that this era won’t last forever.

This is a very confusing thing for so many … there is no “standing still” “cool’n” “chillin” “holding pattern” for your career, your mindset, your perspective, your goals, relationships etc … you’re either on the offense or the defense .. heading forward or backwards …

$0.02 every day for three rest of your life is more valuable then spending your time gossiping about someone else’s life … plus you’ll get back tons of hours every day which will end up being way more productive for YOU -
