- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
To begin the process, we will start with a phone call, followed by signing a contract once all legal matters are resolved. After that, we’ll schedule a Zoom call in the following week to discuss all the details of the special event. Two weeks prior to the event, there will be a follow-up Zoom call to ensure that every detail is perfect.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, our bartenders are T.I.P.S. certified to ensure responsible alcohol service. Additionally, we have a ServSafe Food Manager on staff to maintain the highest standards of safety and hygiene.
