The modern world of running a bar can be very tricky. Consumers are attached to trends more than ever before, now that they are proliferated by social media, and demands are ever changing. Your tried and true menu that’s gotten you through tough times may have served its purpose, but has to adapt or risk dying in the new world of bar management. How do you energize your bar and bring in fresh faces when it hits a lull in the customer base?
Every bar relies on regulars that you can pencil in for a weekly visit, but bringing in new ones? That’s much harder to do. Over-saturation and decision paralysis can often lead people to fall back on the places they already know. The digital age has an interesting attention economy, and piercing that vail can be difficult. One solution to this problem employed by many of the bars getting ahead of this curve is a new beverage program.
Classic bars can still retain their image and rep, but it has to be paired with a modern twist. So many classic bars throw in new ingredients and new drinks that still retain the soul and spirit of the classics that carried them there. A new program and rollout to support that new menu always comes with it. Consumers want fresh twists on the drinks they love, and they want to know about it.
A potential roadblock for any new menu though, is organization. Overhauling your menu requires a ton of work and keeping track of all new inventory, making the already challenging task of keeping liquor inventory in check even harder. Keeping a system in your bar to keep things consistent that are under your control is the best way to get a leg up on not only your competition, but your internal growth. BarMinder can be your best friend in launching a new bar menu.
