Training is essential for any job, but bartending can be a particularly challenging role. Behind bars take training very seriously. All of our trainers have spent a minimum of four years working high volume bars. They are hand picked with a wealth of accreditations and they deliver the highest standards.
- Individual or team bartender training
- Full bar consultation and design
- Drink menu creation
- Wines and spirit tasting sessions
Behind bars offers a full bartender training package. It can be for an individual or a team of bartenders, and we can train them in their place of work (a service we offer not just in the UK but also internationally). Courses range from basic core bar skills, through wine seminars or spirit and liqueur knowledge, all the way to advanced flair bartending. Each course is supported by a unique bartending manual devised specifically for each client. We are regularly retained for training throughout the world, and we believe we offer the most complete and up-to-date industry training available.
All of us at behind bars understand and love the demands and the rewards of bartending work, and we aim to impart that same passion to our students.
Our consultancy work covers expert advice and detailed design in a range of key areas from bar design to the creation of drink menus.
Poorly designed bars mean customer service suffers and sales suffer too. Now behind bars has introduced a bar design service to help interior designers and fitters get the ergonomics right. We don’t act as an architectural subcontractor or arrange structural work or bar fitting; we give advice from a bartenders’ perspective.
All too often bar layouts are built around aesthetics alone. Sure, a good looking bar is important, but if a bar layout is poor, staff can’t carry out their duties efficiently and safely. When their workflow is impeded, more staff are needed to service the same number of customers. And since nothing is more irritating for a customer than having to wait to be served with a drink, this is a serious issue in the success of a bar. Our bar design service insures that these issues are all covered.
The Bar Performance Assessment helps clients develop, maintain and improve the quality of their services and enhance their bars’ viability. By identifying the requirements for training, and areas of improvement, management can reduce the risks to their businesses and boost their organisation’s reputation.
Assessments can be for a single location, region or group wide in assessing the whole organisation’s performance.
“All the team have proven their extensive knowledge of all aspects of bar operations. The behind bars group have been contracted to provide brand development and training of our beverage products throughout the UK and EU.”
