Together with your in-house service team, we will develop and design an original beverage menu to fit your restaurant’s capacity, style, and cuisine. By using Alef’s specific approach to preparation and drink service, we guarantee exquisite cocktails that can be made and served quickly and consistently. From preparation to presentation, we ensure your menu will not only be cost effective, but creative, well balanced, and absolutely unique.

The success of any business depends on the agility and knowledge of its team members. From spirits training to operating procedures, the teams we have trained are better able to provide guests with an outstanding experience, answer questions with confidence, and maximize revenues and profitability. Services available include spirits training, service training, secret shopper reviews, and general hospitality training (tray carrying, table etiquette, and principles of fine dining).

“Mis-en-place” is the principle that before a person starts the shift, all of their ingredients and tools are in their proper place, making for a streamlined service. But what about the physical build out of the bar? Or the kitchen? The placement of a sink can be the key to making cocktails 20 seconds faster, leading to faster turn times and more profitability. These details may seem inconsequential to an architect or contractor, but when a bartender has 15 drinks to prepare, an optimized work station can be the difference between a fast and successful service, or a slow moving disaster for both staff and guests. Because of our extensive experience in the industry, as bartenders, servers, managers, and owners, we know how crucial these details are to a business’s success. Working alongside your team, we will review your plans and optimize your space for the best service possible.
