How do open a bar?
Want to open your own bar? We will show you how to do this without experience, what equipment to choose and what will help you make more money.
First, you need to study the market in order to evaluate the successes and failures of competitors, to choose the right concept. Good ideas come up unexpectedly, and it's best to write them down always. There are not so many bars to return to. This can be used.
The choice of the room is one of the important details, and it is better to think over your choice several times. The ratio of rental (or purchase) price, geographic location, transport interchange and comfort for visitors in general should be balanced. Each of the participants in the process has their own needs: guests - rest and pleasure, the owner - profit and stability. And to achieve these goals, you need to work hard at all stages.
For making cocktails, storing food and other things, the bar must be appropriately equipped, starting from the specifics of the institution. This topic requires special attention, so it will be considered in detail.
It is very important not to be mistaken: with the choice of direction, design, suppliers of food and drinks, equipment, furniture. Every mistake is an unnecessary expense, and it's best to keep it to a minimum.
The choice of the concept of the institution directly depends on what equipment is needed to implement ideas for the menu. But there is a constant list of gadgets and devices that are used in almost every bar.
An ice maker is a device required for the automatic production of edible ice. It is irreplaceable in the bar, and the main criterion for choosing is its productivity. A simple model is suitable for serving an establishment with a small number of customers and simple cocktails. If there are a lot of visitors and the drinks are more sophisticated, the ice maker will be more expensive, but it will be more productive.
A blender is a device for mixing or whipping ingredients. To determine the model, it is enough to understand what the device is for. You can choose a blender with soundproofing - a hood that reduces the sound of whipping cocktails in half, so as not to create discomfort for visitors.
A citrus juicer is another bar dweller you will need to make fresh juices. If the institution specializes in a narrow direction and prepares fresh juices in large quantities, you need to choose a more powerful technique.
Refrigeration equipment is an integral part of any gastronomic establishment. For a bar, of the whole variety of elements, they will come in handy: a wine cooler, a refrigerated table, a small under-counter refrigerator and more (if the range of products is wider).
We talked about the minimum set of equipment required for a bar. But there is equipment that will expand opportunities, and at the same time - earn more.
Ice crusher - a device for the production of chips from ice (which creates an ice maker, as we described in the previous article). Ice crushes form the basis of popular cocktails in many bars. If you have a blender for chopping, not just mixing, it can be an alternative to an ice crusher.
Granitor is an apparatus for the production of slush (a cold dessert based on “fragrant snow”, and it can be both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). It is impossible to cook slush without special equipment.
Milkshake mixer and the name speaks for itself. There are one, two or more glasses.
Juice coolers, accordingly, make it possible to quickly supply cold juices.
Dishwasher - the bar cannot do without this equipment. Rather, it belongs more to the category of mandatory than optional, but due to the high cost, not everyone can purchase it, especially at first. The fact is that coffee cups and glasses are best washed right at the bar, especially with an active customer flow. It is better to take under-table front-end machines for one cassette. When installing a dishwasher, it is important to consider the water supply factor. And in order to achieve perfect cleanliness of glasses without rubbing, you should install a reverse osmosis filter (its main feature is the almost complete sterilization of water).
The listed equipment will help not only diversify the menu and simplify complex tasks. Its presence in the bar seems to say that the owner is progressive and successful, does not stop there and gets better every day. Maresto wishes success to all aspiring entrepreneurs and will be happy to help implement even complex ideas!
