As a mobile bar service provider, it’s crucial to deliver exceptional service that goes above and beyond your clients’ expectations. One way to achieve this is by setting up a water station before unloading any other equipment or products. This small but significant step can mean a lot for your mobile bar service, particularly when catering for weddings.
Picture this scenario: it’s a scorching 90-degree day, and you have a couple of hours to set up your bar before the mayhem begins. As you are unloading your van, guests start approaching you, asking for water. You reply, “we will have a water station over by the bar in the next hour or so.” As you continue unloading, more guests approach, making the same request.
This is a common occurrence when preparing for a wedding reception. When guests see the bartenders arrive, they begin to request beverages, and the first thing on their minds is usually, “where can I get something to drink?” Setting up a water station early can save you time and allow you to focus on unloading and setting up the essential parts of your bar with minimal interruptions.
Moreover, setting up a water station soon after you arrive onsite can create an opportunity for guests to get to know the bartenders or find out what will be available at the bar after the ceremony. It’s an excellent chance to showcase your professionalism and build rapport with potential clients.
By providing a water station service as part of your package, you demonstrate your commitment to delivering exceptional service, which can set you apart from your competitors. It also helps you to cater to guests’ basic needs, keeping them hydrated and refreshed while they wait for the bar to open.
In conclusion, setting up a water station before your bar opens can put you on a different level. It can save you time, showcase your professionalism, and provide an opportunity to build rapport with potential clients. It’s a small step that can make a significant difference in the quality of service you provide and ultimately set you apart from the competition.
BONUS TIPS:
- Depending on your wedding guests count, you should have at least 3-4 5 gallon igloos of water ready for your service.
- Place a bar mat underneath the dispenser to catch any extra drips, or spills that may land on the surface or ground below.
- Place 2-3 rows of disposable cups on one side of the dispenser.
