• BAR DESIGN ON THE FLY: Your Top 10 Checklist for an Efficient & Profitable Bar

    Webinar

    Provided by Perlick 1 CEU available In today’s bar and restaurant industry, effective bar design is more crucial than ever. With challenges like limited staffing and an increase in less experienced workers, having a well-thought-out bar layout and organization is essential. A properly designed bar streamlines the preparation of complex drinks and plays a key role in boosting a restaurant’s profitability, as beverage sales typically yield higher profit margins than food sales. This quick 1 hour webinar serves as a good starting place for any bar design. The 3 main learning objectives are: Understand Key Design Principles: Learn how to design a bar layout that supports smooth cocktail preparation and service efficiency. Optimize Workflow and Storage Solutions: Gain insights into efficient workflow patterns, glassware storage, and strategic placement of essential bar elements. Prioritize Practical Functionality: Recognize the importance of planning for mixers, ice types, garnish prep, and cleanliness to maintain an organized and productive bar environment. These objectives will help guide attendees to build a comprehensive and profitable bar design. Corrinne Walenda is Perlick’s Corporate Training Manager and Brand Ambassador.

  • BEER SYSTEMS BASICS – Elevate Every Pour

    Webinar

    Provided by Perlick 1 CEU available Beer Dispensing Systems Overview This is a one hour class which reviews the three primary methods of dispensing beer (and other beverages) from a keg, each suited to different environments and operational needs. Each system type and its components will be reviewed along with best practices and limitations to consider. Remote Glycol-Cooled Systems Used for long-draw setups (25-500 feet). Uses insulated trunk lines containing beer lines and glycol coolant lines. Glycol (a food-grade coolant) circulates through the lines, maintaining beer at a consistent temperature. Common in bars, restaurants, and stadiums where kegs are stored far from the taps. Air-Cooled Systems Used for medium-length runs (through keg cooler wall and lengths less thanr 25 feet). A fan circulates cold air through an insulated duct to keep beer lines chilled. Suitable for bars where the keg cooler is near the taps but not directly underneath. Direct Draw System The keg is stored in a refrigerated unit directly under or behind the tap. No need for additional cooling methods as the keg and lines are within the same cold environment.   Corrinne Walenda is Perlick’s Brand Ambassador.
