Currently at Tavern League convention, and one side conversation keeps coming up with other bar owners and bartenders:

How do we serve our customers faster when we're slammed?

Turns out part of the answer is YOU. 😂🍺

We can move pretty damn fast behind the bar—but help us out:

👉 Know what you want.
👉 Order for your whole group at once.
👉 Know your flavor (and have a backup).
👉 Have your payment ready.

“3 Busch Lights, 2 Coors Lights and a Carbliss Black Cherry.”
Beautiful. We love you. Drinks are coming. 😂

“I'll take a Busch… Hey Bob, what do you want?”
Bob. Please. We have 17 people behind you. 😂😂

So here's today's completely unofficial lesson:

Want your drink faster? Order like a pro. 🍻

We promise, your bartender wants to get that drink in your hand just as badly as you do.
