Educating Bartenders Worldwide.
By Beverage Trade Network
BartendersBusiness.com, is a new subscription-based, online-only offering designed with the world’s top bartenders in mind. BartendersBusiness.com will offer premium content specifically customized to the needs of the world’s top bartenders and other restaurant industry professionals.
The premium content on BartendersBusiness.com will include insider tips, expert knowledge and unique insights that simply cannot be found anywhere else. Feature articles, for example, will provide insights and advice that bartenders can use to grow both the top and bottom lines of their establishments, wherever they are located in the world. In addition, a regular series of “how-to” articles will provide practical guidance and insider knowledge on how bartenders can advance in their everyday role.
“Based on the extensive work that we already do with bartenders around the world, we wanted to create a unique, dynamic resource that would really focus on the expanding role of bartenders at top restaurants and what they are thinking about on a daily basis,” said Sid Patel, CEO and Founder of Beverage Trade Network. “Today’s bartenders are doing more than just working on the floor of restaurants – they are also beverage industry consultants, entrepreneurs launching their own bars, clubs, or other ventures, and advisors for restaurants expanding globally.”
As a result, BartendersBusiness.com includes more than just feature articles on the world’s top bartenders – it also includes business-oriented articles with advice that can be applied to the everyday functioning of a restaurant, bar or other on-premise establishments. For example, at launch, BartendersBusiness.com includes articles on tips for spirits server training, advice on creating the perfect spirits list, and strategic insights on spirits pricing.
Moreover, subscribers to BartendersBusiness.com will also be able to unlock a number of premium features, such as a “Jobs” section that connects bartenders with new opportunities in the on-premise industry; a “Hire a Bartender” section that enables the world’s top bartenders to showcase their skills and experience to a global audience; and an “Events” section that tracks the spirits industry’s “must-attend” events of the month.
Feature articles on BartendersBusiness.com will take readers much deeper into the daily operations of a restaurant and what bartenders do on a day-to-day basis. “Today’s bartenders are not just coming up with new spirits to add to a spirits list,” said Sid Patel of Beverage Trade Network. “They are also designing spirits programs, managing every aspect of purchasing and storing spirits, and then coming up with unique ways to merchandise those spirits.” As a result, a Q&A with a top bartender in New York City is going to cover topics such as how to run and manage a prestigious bar program in one of the world’s most influential cities.
As bartenders continue to expand their role within the spirits industry, there is a direct need for a media publication that understands their needs and delivers the type of information and content that simply cannot be found anywhere else. Whether it is a podcast series on spirits styles, a sit-down Q&A with an up-and-coming bartender star, or advance notice of important business trends or events, BartendersBusiness.com has you covered. It is the new must-read publication for bartenders, restaurant and bar owners, hotel proprietors and bar industry professionals.
