Why This System Delivers Results
Because your team receives a training ready execution pack
Shift-Ready Specs
Clear specs and service workflows that remove guesswork. Build order, station notes, and QC points so every bartender can execute fast and identical results on busy shifts.
Prep-ready Playbook
Prep and batching translated into a repeatable system. Labeling, yields, storage rules, and shelf-life standards so the menu performs the same every day, not only on paper.
SMargin-safe pricing
Costing and pricing built to protect your target margins. COGS, GP targets, and practical optimization levers so you hit profit goals without slowing down service.
Typical operational impact
When menus are engineered with prep systems, costing, and training packs, venues often improve speed, reduce variance, and protect margins.
Metrics shown are illustrative sample data, not a guarantee.
Results vary by venue operations and starting point.
Testimonial
“Riccardo was highly responsive and quick to understand my needs and requirements. He took the time to understand my brand and translated that vision into a well-balanced, creative cocktail menu that perfectly suits my business. His attention to detail, flavour pairing, and presentation were outstanding, and the whole process was smooth and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Riccardo to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and talented mixologist.”
