FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
1. Hourly Rate: Event bartenders typically charge an hourly rate for their services. This rate can vary based on factors such as the location, duration of the event, the complexity of the cocktail menu, and the level of expertise and experience of the bartenders. 2. Minimum Booking Hours: Bar Almighty has a minimum number of hours required for each booking. This ensures that the bartenders' time and effort are adequately compensated. The minimum booking hours can vary, but it is typically in the range of 4 hours per bartender. 3. Additional Costs: In addition to the hourly rate, there may be additional costs to consider. These can include expenses such as transportation fees if the event is outside the service area, and extra charges for specialty glassware or garnishes. 4. Staffing and Bartender-to-Guest Ratio: The number of bartenders needed for an event depends on various factors, including the guest count, the complexity of the bar service, and the event's timeline. We often recommend a specific bartender-to-guest ratio to ensure efficient service and guest satisfaction. 5. Customization and Upgrades: We offer customization options or upgrades for an additional fee. This can include personalized cocktail menus, themed bartending attire, branded barware, or signature drink creations tailored to the event's theme or preferences. 6. Deposits and Payments: Bar Almighty LLC typically requires a deposit or down payment to secure the booking. The remaining balance is due on or before the day of the event. Payment methods and terms may vary.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1. Initial Consultation: The process begins with an initial consultation or discussion with the customer. This can take place over the phone, via email, or in person. During this conversation, we will gather important details about the event, such as the date, location, guest count, beverage preferences, and any specific requirements or themes. 2. Proposal and Customization: Based on the information gathered during the initial consultation, you'll prepare a detailed proposal outlining your services, including the number of bartenders needed, bar setup requirements, cocktail menu options, and pricing. The proposal can be customized to meet the specific needs and preferences of the customer. 3. Agreement and Booking: Once the customer reviews and accepts the proposal, an agreement or contract is typically drawn up to formalize the partnership. This document outlines the terms and conditions, including the event date, duration, services provided, pricing, payment terms, and cancellation policy. Once both parties have signed the agreement and any necessary deposits or payments have been made, the booking is confirmed. 4. Pre-Event Planning: In the weeks leading up to the event, we will work closely with you to finalize any additional details. This may include discussing the cocktail menu, determining the quantities of beverages and supplies needed, confirming the bar setup and layout, and addressing any special requests or considerations. 5. Event Execution: On the day of the event, your team of bartenders will arrive at the designated venue at the agreed-upon time. They will set up the bar area, ensuring it is well-stocked with beverages, garnishes, and necessary equipment. Throughout the event, the bartenders will skillfully prepare and serve drinks, interact with guests, and maintain a clean and organized bar area.
