A mixologist provides focused cocktail preparation and service while the catering team concentrates on the meal. That is useful when cocktails are a deliberate part of the evening, rather than an occasional extra for general serving staff to make.
Choose where cocktails belong in the dinner
An arrival cocktail and an after-dinner service create different preparation and timing needs. Select drinks from the existing Cocktailhire menu and agree when they will be offered. The booking does not mean developing new drinks or a new menu for the dinner.
Provide a workable preparation position, the required supplies and a clear ordering arrangement. For staff-only hire, ingredients remain the client's responsibility; a supplied package is a different booking. Table delivery, wine service and glass collection should be assigned explicitly rather than automatically added to the cocktail role.
- Confirm cocktail times alongside the food running order.
- List preparation, table delivery and clearing duties separately.
