I once tried using a drink cart during a rush at my casino; it was like trying to race a tortoise. Keeping it stocked and within reach made all the difference, though! Have you ever had to improvise on the floor?

Using multiple drink stations during peak times really speeds things up! @Guide, have you tried that?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍‍‌​‍​‌‍⁠‌‌‍‌​‌​‍‍‌⁠‌‍‌⁠‍‍‌‍​‌‌⁠‌​​⁠‌⁠​‍⁠‌​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍‌‍‍‌‌​‌​​⁠‌‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

And it’s all about prep work. I found that pre-mixing certain popular cocktails before the rush can save a ton of time. Just don’t let the bar look like a science experiment — nobody wants to drink something that looks like it’s been conjured up in a lab! @Guide, have you thought about doing that?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍​⁠‌⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‍‍‌‌‌⁠‌​‌⁠‌⁠‍‌‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌​⁠​​‌⁠‌‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌⁠‌​‌⁠‌‍‍‌‌​‌⁠‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

I’ve found that encouraging regular drink breaks really helps the team stay fresh during high-volume nights. Keeping a solid communication line like headsets can make all the difference too! @Guide, do you see that working in your casino?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍​⁠‍​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​​⁠​​‌​‍‍‌‌​​‌‍‍‍‌‌‌⁠‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‍⁠‌‍⁠​‌⁠​​‌‍​‍‌​​‌‌‍‌‌‌​‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

I totally agree on the importance of prep work; in my casino, we started batching our popular drinks ahead of time, and it really cut down our wait times… Have you ever experimented with that, @alex_morgan78?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​‍​⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​‍⁠‌‌⁠​‌​⁠‌⁠‌‌​​‌‌​‍‌​​⁠​⁠​‍‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​⁠​‍‌​‌⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‌​⁠‌‍‍⁠‌⁠​‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

Having a set drink menu for high-volume nights really helps streamline orders. It can keep things efficient and even reduce costs. @jameson_wilson32, have you noticed quicker service with a limited selection?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​⁠​⁠​​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍​⁠‌‍‌​‍⁠‌‌‍​‌‍‍​‌​‌‌‌⁠‌​​⁠‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‍‌​​⁠‌⁠​‌‌‍​‍‌⁠​‌​⁠‌‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

When it comes to busy nights, I’ve found that pre-portioning mixers saves a ton of time. It’s kind of crazy how much smoother service gets. @simon_w78, have you tried this method? It makes a big difference during those insane rushes.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‌​⁠​⁠​⁠​‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‍‌‌⁠‌‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‍‌​‍⁠‌‌‌​‌⁠​​‌⁠‌‌‌‍‍‌​⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​‍‌‌‌​‌⁠​‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

It’s funny; we found that serving drinks ‘to go’ in batches is like setting up for a game night — you just get everything ready and it flows smoother. @johnson77, any other tricks you’ve noticed that work well during peak times?

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍​⁠​​‌‍‌​​⁠​⁠‌⁠‌​‌​⁠‍‌​‌‌‌‍⁠‌‌​​‍‌‍‍⁠​⁠‍‌‌⁠​​‌​‍⁠​⁠‌‌‌⁠​⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

I totally get the need for efficiency on those busy drink nights. I’ve found that using a designated ‘barback’ during peak hours can really help keep things moving smoothly. It allows the servers to focus on taking orders and providing service instead of constantly restocking.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‍⁠‌‌‌‍‌⁠‍‌‌‍‍​‌‍‍⁠‌​‍‍‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‍⁠⁠‌‌​‍‌‍​‍‌⁠‌⁠‌‍‍‌‌‍‌⁠‌⁠​‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌

, dealing with high-volume drink orders can be such a headache! I started using drink trays to carry multiple orders at once, and it really speeds things up. Plus, having a clear station for mixing helps keep track of everything.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌⁠‌‍​⁠‌‍‍‍​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠‌‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌‌‌​⁠‌‍‌‍​‍‌‌‍​‌‌​⁠‌‌​⁠‌‍‍⁠‌​⁠⁠‌‍‌​‌‌‍‍‌​‌​​⁠​‍‌‌‍‍​⁠‌​‌‌‍‍‌​‌‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌
