Bar Analysis & Development

Every great bar tells a story — and no two are the same. We don’t believe in fixed formulas; each venue deserves its own approach to reach its full potential. To do that, we take time to understand your bar as it is today — its strengths, its character, and its goals — and then help chart the path from where you are to where you want to be.

Whether you’re opening something new or fine-tuning an existing space, we offer a free initial enquiry to explore your ideas and how we can help shape them into reality.

Signature Cocktails

A signature cocktail can capture the essence of a brand or venue in a single serve — a lasting expression of identity, craft, and care. Whether it’s a menu mainstay or a ‘hero-serve’ created to showcase your product at an international event, our focus is on crafting timeless drinks that embody your vision.

Some of the cocktails we created back in our bartending days have become part of the city’s rhythm, still served throughout Berlin.

We’d love to create one that tells your story.

Staff Training

We’ve all experienced that kind of training — “service with a smile,” “a serviette under every drink.” The basics are a given. Our focus is on helping your team build the skills that truly elevate service.

Our tailor-made training sessions are designed to engage and inspire, focusing on what really makes a difference: speed, confidence, knowledge, precision, and pride in the final product.

We also offer advanced mixology sessions exploring syrups, pre-batches, cordials, infusions, and more.

Menu Curation

Curating a menu that keeps guests coming back requires thoughtful balance and strategic insight. From harmonising classic and contemporary offerings to ensuring that the language, layout, and tone reflect your bar’s identity — every detail matters.

Pricing should be fair to guests while supporting a healthy profit margin. Drawing on extensive industry experience, we help you curate a menu that is engaging, profitable, and perfectly aligned with your venue’s concept.

One on One Consultations

Whether you’re new to the industry, stepping into management, or figuring out your next move, our one-on-one coaching sessions are designed to bring clarity and confidence.

With experience spanning everything from independent bars to five-star hotels, we offer practical guidance, honest feedback, and perspective drawn from years in the industry. Each session focuses on your goals — where you are now, where you want to go, and how to get there.

Hotels

Hotels are a law unto themselves — from in-room dining to banquets, events, and hotel bars. We understand the pressures F&B departments face and bring extensive experience in developing solutions that streamline operations while enhancing guest experience and profitability.

We help ensure your product reflects the standards and consistency of a true five-star experience, while training staff to deliver it confidently.

To discuss how we can support your hotel operations, we offer a complimentary initial consultation.

Working in clubs is unlike any other environment in the industry — fast-paced, variable, and demanding precision at scale. Creating a smooth, efficient operation requires thoughtful planning and years of hands-on experience.

With over a decade spent working and managing in clubs, we bring a depth of insight into what truly works on a busy night.

We offer a range of tailored services to support your needs — from designing efficient bar setups to developing high-quality, high-speed drinks menus that keep queues moving without compromising standards. We can also assist with setting up and organising with administrative duties such as rota planning, staffing structures, and clear, practical handbooks to ensure consistency across your team.

We understand the club landscape — and we’re confident in helping you build an operation that runs seamlessly, night after night.

Clubs

If you’re based outside Berlin and wondering whether we take on international projects — the answer is yes.

Our experience working abroad laid much of the groundwork for our approach here in Berlin. Many of our creative ideas — especially in cocktail development — have been shaped by the places, people, and cuisines we’ve encountered along the way.

While we primarily collaborate in English, Xochilt is also fluent in Swedish and Spanish, and Jake is a British national with a strong understanding of German. For most projects, we recommend beginning with online sessions to lay the foundation before arranging an on-site visit.
