Project Management
Bars
Stainless steel hygienic, attractive, rugged construction to withstand the tough
environment created behind a busy bar area by dedicated staff. Easy to clean
and maintenance free, the range is designed to suit individual requirements, and
can be modified easily due to modular construction. The modular stainless approach
is now the benchmark to excellent construction of the modern trendy bars.
Design
The bar area must be attractive, storage spaces must be planned and maximise area
available with proper capacity and different product and serving utensils.
To enable speed and efficiency in operation and to maximise bar persons efforts to
provide satisfaction to customers with minimum effort expended. Bar masters
use one pace method to minimise effort and maximise efficiency, all equipment
should be located in this area. Each bar station can be modularly replicated to
suit area of operation.
Typical bar Station
- Glass Storage
- Sink/Blender Station
- Till
- Ice Well
- Top loading bottle cooler
- Bottle skip
- Waste Bin
Ultimately a good bar master will work with a well stocked ice well with speed rail
and condiment containers. At one hand a slops sink incorporating a blender station
and to the other hand a glass storage/feeder.
Between each bar station a shared till stand with bottle skip fitted. Sinks will have
waste bin fitted underneath in unit. Depending on style of bar space and volume of
operation the units used will be specified to meet specific needs. Where alterations
are required to meet changing demands the modular type systems can simply be rearranged
in house.
The other bits
In addition to the main production side of the bar you also need the wash up area.
This is an area that is sometimes neglected at the design stage, but is equally important
in the overall scheme. A good quality glass washer, glass wash basket rack and sink,
with preparation and clearing area above. We often specify a glass washer with integrated
water softener where space is at a premium. With ice being such an important part of
any bar the need for a good size ice well requires a high output ice machine to keep up
with demand. Although small under counter ice machines can be sighted behind the bar we
would prefer to have a high volume machine away from the area and then keep large ice
wells stocked regularly.
Backbar
This area is a little more straightforward incorporating predominantly front-loading
bottle coolers available with hinged or sliding doors. You can, for a very busy outlet
have straight through coolers which can then be stocked from behind. Above the bottle
coolers is where the designer needs to come into play as aesthetically this can be
the make or break visually. When planning this side with the architect or designer
the same rules as above apply, understanding the style of operation and type of drinks.
Practicality is important but style and design is paramount making sure that the look
is achieved. In addition to the liquor displayed you need to incorporate a coffee station,
storage space and cupboards for a music system, computer terminal, chemicals and general
day to day clutter giving the bar a clean and sharp look.
