INTRODUCTION

BAR (also called a pub, tavern, saloon, beer garden or taproom) is an establishment that serves drinks, especially alcoholic beverages such as beer, liquor, and cocktails, for consumption on the premises.[1]

Bars provide stools or chairs for their patrons along tables or raised counters. Some bars have entertainment on a stage, such as a live band, comedians, go-go dancers, a floor show or strippers (see strip club). Bars that are part of hotels are sometimes called long bars or hotel lounges.

Page 7: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

The term "bar" is derived from the specialized counter on which drinks are served and is a synecdoche applied to the whole of the drinking establishment. The "back bar" or "gantry" is a set of shelves of glasses and bottles behind that counter. In some bars, the gantry is elaborately decorated with woodwork, etched glass, mirrors, and lights. When food is served elsewhere in the establishment, it may also be ordered and eaten at the bar.

History

A Depression-era bar in Melrose, Louisiana.

There have been many names throughout history for establishments where people gather to drink alcoholic beverages. Even when an establishment uses a different name, such as "tavern," the area of the establishment where the bartender serves the alcoholic beverage is normally called "the bar."

There were prohibitions in first half of the 20th century to alcoholic beverages at various times in countries including Finland, Iceland, Norway, and the United States, where the illegal bars during prohibition period were often called speakeasies.

Page 8: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

Origin

The word bar has its origin in the Greek word βάρος (baros), meaning weight. Its official symbol is "bar"; the earlier "b" is now deprecated, but still often seen especially in "mb" rather than the proper "mbar" for millibars.

The bar and millibar were introduced by Sir Napier Shaw in 1909 and internationally adopted in 1929.

Types

There are many types of bars, which can be categorized according to the types of entertainment provided at the bar and by their clientèle.

Bars categorized by the type of entertainment or activities offered at the bar include: Topless bars, where topless female employees serve drinks or dance; sports bars, where sports fans watch games on large-screen televisions; salsa bars, where patrons dance to Latin salsa music; and dance bars, which have a modest-sized dance floor where patrons dance to recorded music. However, if a dance bar has a large dance floor and hires well-known professional DJs, it is considered to be nightclub or discothèque.

Bars categorized by the clientele who come to the bar include: biker bars, which are bars frequented by

Page 9: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

motorcycle enthusiasts, and in some regions, motorcycle gang members; gay bars, where gay men or women dance and socialize; cop bars, where off-duty law enforcement agents gather; and singles bars where (mostly) unmarried people of both genders can socialize and meet.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

This project is based upon an intense research and

hence this project will be beneficial to the hotelier

through my suggestion. This project helps us to get the

procedure running in the bar which in interesting.

This research on project will help to expand my

knowledge regarding the bar & their working procedures

which a very important aspect in the food and beverage

sector of hospitality industry. Hence it will help me when I

will join this department, with my knowledge to help hotel

in effective marketing and selling of alcoholic beverages.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

I SURYANARAYAN PRAHARAJ got the opportunity to do the project on the BAR MANAGEMENT AND ITS OPERATION IN HOTELS. For this project I have tried to do the survey and have presented my research project. I have a very limited scope for the study. I have had less accessibility in the leading bars of Delhi, and have a survey in the local bars. All the information is based on the talk that has been done in the different hotels for the purpose of the research project.

The scope of study was very limited because the bar people were very co- operative but at times accessibility became difficult.

What ever information that has been collected during my interaction has been truly stated in the project. About the knowing of the drinks the information has been collected with the help of the books and data also have collected through internet.

BAR:

Bar is a licensed establishment in which people to purchase

and consume alcoholic beverages. This license is granted by state

government without which you cannot operate. Bars in India are

always in hotels and restaurants .In Western countries bar , pubs,

cocktail bar, wine bar etc are part of the normal city life .Mostly all

sell food in one from or another but this is not essential.

Types of bar in the hotels

Page 17: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

1. PUBLIC BAR: The outlets from which alcoholic drink are

directly dispensed to public over the bar counter. However in

many establishments of constraints of planning and layout, wine

& other alcoholic beverage for consumption with the meal

sometime dispense from the bar accessible to general public,

more profitable, major of cash sales.

2. DISPENSE BAR: This is the bar which is situated in the

premises of the hotels which only dispense wine & other drinks to

be served to any guest consuming a meal in any of the f & b

outlets . The dispense bar is usually only accessible to the f & b

staff & not to the general public. Sometimes as restaurant have to

serve wine at different temperature at short notice, immediate

issue from the main wine caller is not possible. Hence the need

for dispense bar to have larger area to stock enough wine and

beverages required by the restaurant. A dispense bar does not

require full scale cocktail requirement. Hence the red wine is kept

at constant room temperature while rose wine are kept in the

cooling bins. Each wine should be racked with label upper not &

an external bin cards showing the wine list number .All wine in

the wine list must be real labeled from dispensed. Hardly any

cash transaction takes places, more profitable.

3. Cocktail bar: The name cocktail bar is totally disconcerted.

Cocktail is in this bar is rarely served although it is the most

Page 18: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

interesting task for the bartender and most appealing for the

guests. However for some old reason or other usually one cater

on to the sophisticated are called cocktail bar weather they serve

cocktail or not. Usually when referring to the cocktail bar in the

hotel one automatically thinks of a lavishly furnished room

designed to cerate a certain atmosphere

THE DESIGN AND LAYOUT OF THE BAR

Page 19: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

The working arrangement of the bar is almost important. This is too often overlooked when plans are laid for installation & man could do the work behind the bar area. When the bar areas are designed those responsible should consider the sequence of activities to prepare drinks, properly locate equipment required for those task, design work station so that employees can save expensive and prove ample space for that spaced for drink that are ready to be picked up . There are certain essential necessary in the planning of every bar. Factors to be given prime consideration are:

a) Area: bar staff must be given sufficient area in which to work and move about. There should be minimum of 1 meter from back of the bar counter to storage and display cabinet at the rare of the bar.

b) Layout: Very careful consideration must be given in initial planning to the layout. Everything should be easy at hand so that the bar staff do not have to move about than necessary to give a quick and efficient service.

c) Plumbing and power: Essential to have hot and cold running water for glass washing. Power necessary for working of cooling trays, refrigerator, etc.

d) Safety and hygiene: Material used in the making up of the bar should be hygienic & safe, flooring must be nonslippery, preferably wooden. The bar top should be of material suited to the décor, hard rubber top. The bar top should be of a width of 0.6 meter and height 42 inch.

e) Sight of the bar: Major factor is the sighting of the bar, the position should be such that the bar has the maximum possible number of the sales.

Page 20: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

LICENSING LAW FOR THE BAR

Page 21: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

The sale of alcoholic drink is tightly controlled by law. To sell alcohol, your pub or bar must have license. This is issued to the person or people who manage the bar – it is specific to the premises and to the public.For a new pub, bar, hotel or restaurant, the suitability of the premises will also be considered, and the likely effect on the local community of the sale of alcohol from the proposed outlet. People living in the area, other licensed premises, other businesses, and the application. If there are objection, the license may be refused.Licenses have to be renewed, usually every year. Adverse reports on how the business has been conducted, in particular from the police, can lead to refusal to renew. This means that the pub can longer sell alcohol. Some rule which are followed while issuing the license:1) Type of license i.e. on license, public house license2) Drink you bar is licensed to sell.3) Timing control like opening time, extended time for particular

occasion.4) The age limit person allowed in the bar.5) Whether the food are allowed in the bar etc.

Bar operation and its control :

Bar operation can be divided in two parts. Bar is having two faces.

One which is seen by the guest means front story. Second the

back story. So these two parts are:

1) Bar area

2) Food & beverage control department.

BAR AREA PREPARATION:

BEFORE OPENING THE BAR:

Page 22: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

1) Preparation customer and service areas: Customers say cleanliness and comfort along with the friendliness of the bar staff are their main reasons for liking a particular pub. To help your bar create the right impression the impression that brings customers back be ready to make that extra effort.Train yourself to notice what customers notice to see things their eyes. The attention to chairs neatly arranged, ashtrays where they should be and clean, curtain hanging tidily, pictures straights, etc should be given.

2) Stocking up: The stock is kept behind the bar, on the shelves and in the drink cabinets, to help you serve orders quickly. IT also tells customers what is available. A neatly arranged displays, making good use of colour and shape, looks good .It is also a way of promoting particular drink.

GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR STOCKING UP:a) Check the date marks on the stock.b) Place new stock at the rear of shelves and move

old stock to the front.c)Position bottles and cans in neat rows , with the product

label facing towards customersd) Check with your manager what should be done

with nearly empty bottles of sprits, cordials and wine is served by the glass.

e) Put away empty cases, boxes and cartoon. 3) Preparing drink accompaniments :This falls into three groups, these are:

a) Customers expect to be offeredb) Customers expected to be available if requested c)From part the presentation of the cocktail and other

drinksCheck that you have adequate stock of the items that do not spoil sugar, jars buff cherries, fresh lemons, paper umbrellas, etc.

4) Promotional displays and signs : It makes good marketing sense to tell customers what is available. Ways to do this include drinks lists, menus, boards for

Page 23: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

describing guest beer, new cocktail, dishes of the days, etc. and promotional materials supplied by the brewery, distillery, wine producer, etc.

Plan these tasks into your pre service routine, so that nothing is overlooked and you have enough time to check all the details, including spelling. Customers gets a poor impression when they find yesterday dish of the day in the menu folder or the menu cards torn and strained.

AT CLOSING TIME

a) CLEARING CUSTOMER AND SERVICE AREASCustomer may not be anxious to go at closing time. The aim is to leave the bar safe and secure responsible tide and clean. Certain tasks may be the responsibilities of managers such as locking the bar, turning off heating and etc, are secure and that there is no one left on the premises.

b) DRINK STOCK AND DRINK ACCOMPANIMENTS:Sometimes cold dishes, chilling cabinets and refrigerator are restocked at the end of the service, so that bottles and cans have plenty of time to get the right temperature. Move the stock that is already there to the front so it will be first.Check that the tops are firmly on jars of the cherries and containers of pre sliced lemon etc. Cover with clean wrap and in the refrigerator sliced fresh fruits and similar garnishes for drinks which keep, otherwise discard them.

c) CLEANING AND STORING SERVICE EQUIPMENT: Wash and put away glasses and ashtrays. Empty and clean ice buckets and water jug. Wash thimble measures, chopping boards and knives and put in place, ready for use. Clean all drip trays and service trays. Collect drip mats, glass cloths and other items ready to go for laundering.

Page 24: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

d) TIDYING CUSTOMER AND SERVICE AREAS1) Clear glasses, ashtrays, empty bottles, crisp packets etc from

the tables. Checks that smoldering cigarette ends are not trooped in the join of upholstered furniture or behind cushions.

2) Place empty bottles in the correct skip or container, returnable in their own container. Waste left in the wrong place is a safety, hygiene and fire hazard.

3) Return tables and chairs to their usual positions, or back into strong.

4) Wipe clean the bar counter, worktops and shelves. Toughly wash cleaning cloths and brushes and leave to dry. Rinse out the sink and wipe down the draining board.

BEVRAGE CONTROL AREA

Beverage control set of procedures to measures the steps towards pre determined goals to detect any duration and to take appropriate and necessary steps to correct it. Beverage control can be defined by this cycle:Purchasing Receiving Storing Issuing Preparation of sale control Purchasing

a) BEVERAGE PURCHASINGThe primary object of establishing beverage control is to ensure that an appropritate supply of ingredient for producing beverage, all alcoholic beverage are competitively expensive to purchase so it is necessary to know the guest taste .If the operation is new, a market survey will be usefull to collect data about the types of the demand of different products. Alcoholic beverages used by a bar may be divided in to two categories:-1)Call brands :- It is one that is used only if specifically requested by the guest.2)Pouring brands:- It is one that is used whenever the guest doesnot request a call brand. PUCHASING PROCEDURE1) Written purchase order from the bartender or the person in

charge maintaining beverage inventory. Two copies of the

BEVERAGE RECEIVING

One useful technique in establishment control over

beverage receiving is to ensure that the beverages are

delivered by the supplier at times when receiving clerk

can deal exclusively with them. The receiving clerk then

check the invoice against the purchase order to see that

they agree as to quality, quantity, brand level and price.

Any exception should be noted and attended as the

manner establishment by the management. The invoice

is the bill and the establishment will be held accountable

for payment of the amount indicated on it.

Once delivery has been received and checked, each

invoice is written upon a receiving report .The receiving

report will be sent to the account department for the

Page 27: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

purpose of important control procedure before it reaches

the accounts department to the beverage controller.

a) The beverage controller can compare the supplies

received against the beverage order.

b) The information can be easily transformed can be

easily transferred to the inventory records by the

stewards or purchase in charge of beverage store.

BEVERAGE ISSUING:

The entire beverages should be issued without a

written requisition signed by an authorized person &

The bartender is an authentic individual who

determine the quantity needed and signs the requisition

Page 30: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

requesting appropriate items with quantities .The filled

requisition is sent to the beverage store .The requisition

will have three copies.

1st copy To the beverage store

After issuing requested beverage the wine store

incharge will sign the requisition .The person who

receives on behalf of the bar will sign on the

requistion .The requisition is made after checking the

stock position of each item. A par stock level is

maintained in the bar and any items falling below the

par stock level will be requested are preparedfor

each bar so thateach stock positionn may be

controlled separately.It is also necessary to write

brand name and the code no. , the bottle size and

the quantity required . It is obvious that the par stock

will vary from bar to bar also vary if there is acharge

in the guest demand. It is normally desirable to

adjust to par stock and review paaar stock level so

that the par stock will be sufficent to meet the guest

demand without being over stock with any particular

BEVERAGE INVENTORY CONTROL

For control purpose it is important that records of the

beverage Stock maintained by someone other than the

wine storage in charge. These records should be

maintained on an on going basis &n should reflect both

addition to stores as issues to operating bars .This on

going record is kept by the Beverage Controller is called

the perpetual inventory .This is an indispensable feature

of the Beverage Control system.

Perpetual inventory control can be kept on cards or

books. One card or one page should be maintained for

each item in stock. Each item in the stock is allocated

with a code no.

At the end of each month the standard accounting

practice is to take physical inventory of the stock at the

Page 33: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

wine store. The no. of bottles of the perpetual inventory

record the no. of bottles is multiplied with the valued will

help to determine the value of total inventory

When bin cards are maintained separately by two

separate responsible people. If there are difference still

exist it is assumed some bottles has been stolen

beverage store in charge is held accountable for that.

BEVERAGE SALES CONTROL:

Control must be established over quantities of

ingredients & the drink size must be standardized. When

standard of ingredients , portion & drink size are set .The

Page 34: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

guest has reasonable assurance that the drink will meet

expectation by establishing & maintaining these

standards .The simplest & most widely used method of

tenderizing qty. is by using standardized peg measures. It

is used for measuring straight drinks and while using

ingredients for cocktails.

The beverage check is controller with the number

issued by the beverage controller. The beverage check

has four copies.

1st copy To the guest

2nd copy To the bar against which the drinks are

dispensed

3rd copy To cashier for billing

4th copy In turn goes to beverage controller

Thus the bar in the hotel is controlled . In the hotel

the guest are coming for drinking or enjoing purpose but

they don’t know that for serving one drink we are having

so many procedure and than we are able to serve the

guest .

BAR SERVICE AREA

Page 44: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

The bar service area includes the bar stools and the

standing area immediately behind the stools. Typically,

for each 18 inches of bar length, one stool can be added.

In a 20 foot long bar, eleven guests can be comfortably

seated at stools. Of course, seating is important at a bar,

but the real profits come from the guests who are

standing behind the bar stools. Typically, the standing

area holds enough guests to triple the total clientele at a

bar. When a large number of standees is expected

additional work stations may be needed . the profitability

of the bar is adversely affected if the standees or for that

matter any bar customer – must wait while bartenders

mix drinks for other guests.

If standees are expected at a bar, drink rails should

be installed to separate standees from guests seated at

cocktail tables or dinner tables, without this separation,

dinner guests end up being bumped again while dining.

Hard, smooth- surfaced floors should be installed under

bar stools and in standing areas. The smooth surfaces

make entering and exiting from the bar stools easier.

They are not easily damaged even when smokers snuff of

their cigarettes on the floor. Ventilation is very important

in bar areas. As people light up cigarettes more

Page 45: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

frequently here then in the dining room. Illumination sets

the mood of the space just as it does in the dining areas

and in recent years the typical bar atmosphere gone from

dim to bright. Bar lighting has played an important role in

transforming the dark hideaway into the animated

meeting place. Similarly, hard materials such as wood,

brass, and tile are typically specified in the bar areas.

These materials are generally easy to maintain, and their

sounder- effecting qualities are an asset if operators want

to create a high –energy bar area.

I recommend that a bartender or a planner should go

through this project report or books mentioned in the

bibliography before planning for a bar to create a “bar

experience”.

While compiling this project I tried to look at the bar

in the view of a customer and management, both. I

personally feel that the designer must have both point of

views, in mind, while designing a bar. Above all, as most

of the bar are planned by the people who never worked in

them. I recommend that a proper co-ordination between

the proprietor, the bar manager, chef and bar designer is

a must, while planning a successful bar.

Page 46: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

1990`s showed a trend of proprietor’s not intending

to invest much in bar planning and designing due to

compulsions of rapid changes in customer’s taste and

excessive competition. Hence , I suggested young

designers specializing bar planning and designing to

think of such designs whose base is same but can be

changed into all new design after each two or three years

to satisfy the need of whole new “bar experience “ of

customers.

CONCLUSION

Page 48: Bar Management & Its Operation in Indian Hotels

After the collection of data of various hotels, bars

and on the analysis of data, it is found that this report has

two objectives – Bar planning and bar managing. This was

accomplished by reference of books and by presenting

questionnaires to various hotels.

These objectives have been taken into consideration

according to the architectural point of view. I have made

some efforts to solve these problems in this project.

In this project I have considered some operational

plans and all the equipment which is needed in the bar

before formulating a building and how to manage the

operation and control of the bar item .
