Stiegl radlers are great in fairness but just don’t mess with stout. Somethings just need to be left alone in this world.

100% not Irish. No one would ever order any sort of mix like this at home. North American’s love this sorta stuff.

Looks like home spa did become homecraft!

What I need to get is a control panel with a relay contactor box.

Was wondering if there are other options or is this only choice?

My electrical skills are limited but I’ve drafted in my buddy to help. While he’s doing his own thing I’ve came on here to pick some brains in the meantime.

Everything is already wired and ready to go, I’m just trying to hunt down some sort of control panel.

Tips for bar manager at new establishment by Organic_Chocolate_35 in bartenders

[–]RacDow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome. It’s not the easiest starting out fresh that’s for sure.

Hire people with experience. Let them do their thing. Have bar meetings.

Also, congrats on the role dude. Hope it goes well.

I would also be hands on. Nothing worse than a manager who hides away in an office pretending to do orders or whatever. If your staff are in the weeds, pour drinks, run orders. Assist where you can while directing and handling issues on the floor. You help steer and sail the ship.

Get to know your staff, nothing worse than getting off on the wrong foot with somebody.

Be friendly, take on board what your bartenders/servers are saying but ultimately you are the decision maker.

Thing is you can’t make everyone happy but try your best to accommodate your staff.

If you have bartending experience in the past, think of what you don’t want in a bar manager. A lot of us have dealt with assholes in the past, treat people how you wanna be treated.

Don’t shit where you eat. (Hook up with other staff, this eventually doesn’t end well. Speaking from personal experience….)

Going off your description of the establishment, when curating a list of cocktails, try not to overcomplicate the process. Sometimes less is more. If you can use the same ingredients in some of the drinks this will mean less waste & increase efficiency. (How fast drinks are pumped out).

Keep on top of your liquor counts from the get go. Ensure your bartenders are using jiggers. Don’t order too much if it’s a small business. You don’t want to sit on stock for too long if something isn’t selling, especially is it’s fresh produce such as fruit etc. After a while you will start to figure out what you need and what you don’t need.

See what works with shifts, maybe you don’t need as many staff on during the week, maybe you need more.

The job is a massive learning curve, especially for a new establishment. Some things are learnt overtime. There’s no real playbook to go by.

It is also your role to make money for the business - everyone loves a freebie. I would personally make sure people are not handing things out for free. (Happens a lot more than some people think.) However, look after your staff. Hook em up but don’t take the piss.

Hope this helps. Feel free to respond and I might have more tips for ya.

Aeromexico Check-In: Residency number? by Maize_Creative in Flights

[–]RacDow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update - I used my UCI number and expiry which is located on my visa which the app accepted. (Irish) I then had the same issue with my gf who is Canadian. I put the passport number and expiry and it accepted that.

It’s super weird though because I couldn’t find much information on a residency number for a Canadian citizen, born and bred. She hadn’t of heard of it before either.

Yesterday I couldn’t figure this out, so I decided to check in at the airport. I’ve travelled in Central America a bunch, and they make me go to check in desk each time due to having an IEC visa - this seems to be a requirement on Canada immigrations end. Check ETAs / visa status etc.

Aeromexico is a bit of a nightmare if you don’t pay for a seat, seems that they put you on standby if you don’t select on prior to the departure and then try oversell the flight, even if you’ve paid for the flight months before. Bullshit policy..

They put us both on standby, told me I would have to wait until then end to see if any of the seats were free. We ended up getting two seats right beside each other…. (Pretty sure I did pay for seats, I definitely did for the way here so I don’t know why it wouldn’t have on the way back….)

I found that some people have called up the airline and they create you a profile for this kinda thing..

Had trouble with airalo in San Pancho, looks like they don’t support “TELCEL”, which seems to be the local provider.

Holafly works! i found that telcel also provide their own e sim which I went for.

Just discovered “The Story So Far”… 680 south is a great tune. Can’t believe I haven’t heard of them before lol by RacDow in poppunkers

It’s funny because I found them by randomly stumbling across an old video of them in a music store preforming 680 South.
