We have listed a brief guide to some of the services Create Cocktails Ltd can offer your venue. If you would like to discuss any of these further then please get in touch.

•  Cocktail Menu's

There are many factors to think about when designing cocktail menus: the clientele, bar design, bar staff training and of course cost!
Create Cocktails works with your venue to develop cocktails with all these factors in mind keeping your specific vision at the forefront.
Create has designed cocktail menus for many style bars, gastro-pubs, coffee shops and café's, product launches, and private events.

•  Bar Set-Up & Design  

The design of any bar is crucial and all too often is over-looked. With a badly designed bar you can be quite limited as to the products you sell.
Create can work with the design team to recommend some vital time-saving ideas and solutions to an existing or new bar. Create can also work to ensure maximum selling potential to your back-bar ensuring greater sales and a clean and organized working environment.

•  Communication with Distributors  

Create can set-up cost efficient accounts with all major suppliers from spirits, beers and wines to candles and fresh fruit purees.We have strong relationships with many leading suppliers and are affiliated to no-one.  

•  Implementation of Spirit & Liqueur Selection

It is vital to use the correct spirits, beers and wine selection for your venue. Menus are often dominated by certain brands and premium products are usually left behind.
Create can set-up pouring deals with brands to ensure the venue is incentivised for stocking their products.Create can also complete par-levels and initial orders for all beverage and dry products required.

•  Procedures/Manuals

Consistency is vital, therefore written procedures need to be in place for everything including: Champagne Service, Set-up Procedures, Ordering, Service Standards etc.Create can ensure these are in place for all aspects required and that staff members are fully trained on each procedure necessary.
Manuals need to be in place for future bar staff training and training supervisors need further training to ensure the programme continues.

•  Cocktail Bar Staff Training

Again, consistency is the key to any cocktail menu. Our bar staff training programme covers everything from Classic cocktails to the menu specifics and recipe manuals and written tests for all bartenders should be taking place.
If free-pouring is something you would like to introduce or are having troubles with then courses can be provided with guidelines for future tests. All round bar staff training from Create.

•  Recruitment

Create has access to a large number of Bartenders, Waitresses, Chefs, Bar-backs and Managers in all areas of the catering industry and can provide advice on staffing levels, costs and recruitment.

•  Brand Ambassadors Training/Product Knowledge

Product knowledge is vital and Create works with all major brands to ensure an ongoing bar staf training programme for your staff members.
This can include bar staff training on the following products and more: Wine & Champagne, Vodka, Gin, Cigars, Cognac etc. Incentives can also be set-up through our suppliers to incentivise staff with trips to distilleries to increase their knowledge and selling techniques.
