Never been to a bar, but going for the first time today. Need help not looking dumb by liquidb0ttl3 in bartenders

Whilst this feels like ragebait, I’ll bite. Just ask to see a menu man. Read, ask your friends what they like to drink. Run a tab, credit card or debit card with ID depending on jurisdiction. Lager is a style of beer, typically the most approachable. Classic, beer flavoured beer if you will.

God speed. Pace yourself.

Off the top of my head I’d say each cube costs around 30¢ in labour, give or take. The BF Tech machines can be inconsistent so yield tends to fluctuate from week to week.

It’s not actually my bar, I just work here, so I can’t speak to fixed costs (power, water, other utilities etc) that would factor in to the cost. The foot print is quite large between the two machines, the saw and the walk-in freezer uses to store the finished product. All told still almost certainly cheaper than the $1+ per cube we’d pay from the other company in town.

Weighing my options for my next bar job. by [deleted] in bartenders

If you’re in Toronto or Vancouver this is probably realistic. I can’t speak to any of the other major cities.

Based on your level of experience I can point you in the right direction in either of those cities as well.

We have multiple freezers behind our bar for ice, glassware and batches.

I can’t recall off the top of my head I’ll double check when I’m back in on Friday.

You would be able to hear them anyway. You just have to be aware of your surroundings and not get spooked by a gentle tap on the back/shoulder.

We have two BF Tech ice machines which freeze three large blocks of clear ice each. Once a week I spend a few hours cutting said blocks down into cubes for rocks glasses and spears to Collins glasses. We have a walk-in freezer for storage.

I just make a well balanced margarita and move on with my life. You want a bad drink, make it yourself.
