As the post pandemic world continues to evolve, dining and entertaining standards are evolving with consumer behavior. Consumer habits have changed, and for operators to remain competitive there are three things that most customers are looking for: safety, value, and experience. With the continued growth in popularity of social media (TikTok, Instagram, etc.) and the age of influencers, consumers now expect a high quality, unique experience when dining out, and have become more ambitious with their palette than ever before. If you are a bar owner, bartender, or a self-employed bar-pro, at some point in your career you will ask yourself a question: How to choose the best mobile bar? In this article we will reveal insight into the mobile bar and beverage dispensing industry. Let’s get started!

What accounted for the staffing crisis?

892,000 workers have chosen to leave the industry amidst the pandemic. At first, it was thought to be due to industry instability, but studies have shown that it goes well beyond that. The Washington Post stated: “The industry has 1.7 million fewer jobs filled than before the pandemic, despite posting almost a million job openings in March, along with hotels, and raising pay 3.6 percent, an average of 58 cents an hour, in the first three months of 2021.” This fact shows that workers are choosing to change industries despite plenty of job openings. Let’s break down the leading causes of workers leaving the industry.

Family-owned businesses are the cornerstone of the U.S. economy. In fact, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 90% of U.S. businesses are family-owned. Perlick knows a little bit about being a family business. Since 1917, Perlick has been family-owned and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1917, Robert K. Perlick, a young German immigrant, started the R. Perlick Brass Works. Over the next five generations the Perlick family, along with many dedicated associates, has grown the business into a global manufacturing leader in commercial bar and beverage systems, premium residential refrigeration and brewery fittings.

Perlick is proud to work on any project, from corner bar to Madison Square Garden! No project is too small for us, but we will admit, there is a certain excitement that comes with a large venue project.

The planning that goes on behind the scenes of a large venue bar design is a true art form, and it takes many talented and creative people to design the high-end bars and foodservice stations we have come to expect at sports arenas, concert venues, amusement parks, and other high-volume facilities.

BAR DESIGN AND CONSULTING

Today we are highlighting S2O

This week’s Perlick blog has several layers. We are excited to welcome Toree Gotsis of Apex Commercial Kitchen Co. as our guest blogger. Toree is a Bar & Beverage Specialist with Apex and has some great advice for our readers on how to reduce the cost of operating a bar. Perlick has worked with Apex for years, and we love collaborating with them on various projects.

The days of bars and restaurants only carrying one beer and basic sodas on tap are long gone. Today, you will find a plethora of craft beers and soda, wine, cold brew coffee, ciders, craft cocktails and anything else you can think of on tap.

At Perlick, we pride ourselves on the partnerships we have with our customers. We work with large venues across the nation, bar and restaurant chains, and local bars and eateries in the U.S. and worldwide.

Bar professionals have always known that ice in a cocktail is not just for cooling, nor is its shape only about aesthetics. Ice is part of the life and soul of a drink.

During the holidays we often think of presents, parties, and lots of food and drink with friends. But it's also an important time to think of those in need, and the people and organizations who spend all year helping the less fortunate. This season, Perlick teamed up with the United Way, one of the world's largest non-profit organizations, to help do our part in giving back to our local community here in the Milwaukee area.

When it comes to bar and beverage equipment from Perlick, one of the most satisfying parts of our business is to see how our equipment is used. It's a true honor for us to belly up to the bar, look down behind it, and see that iconic black logo in the top corner of a front-venting refrigerator or Tobin Ellis Signature Cocktail Station.
