WHAT DO THE BARTENDERS BRING WITH THEM?
Each bartender has their own bar kit. They will have all the equipment they need to bartend. Their kit includes, speed pours, shakers, bottle openers, spill mats, an ice bin, and a garnish tray. Tikitenders come equipped with a blender, muddler and extra garnishes needed.
​
WHAT IS THE SHOPPING LIST?
The shopping list is the final list we will send you. This list will tell you exactly how much and what to purchase to make the drinks you have selected for your event. This list will take into consideration the number of guest, the amount of time, and type of event. Before you receive this list you will receive drink lists, which will help you determine what drinks to serve. Once you made a selection we will need you to email us your selection to complete the shopping list and send it to you.
​
WHAT IS THE INSURANCE FOR?
Most venues require it to have a bartender onsite. You have to verify this with the venue where the event will take place.
​
HOW MANY BARTENDERS WILL I NEED FOR MY EVENT?
Each bartender can take up to 40 people alone and up to 60 with a bar back. For 120 we recommend 2 bartenders and one bar back.
​
WHAT IS THE CUSTOMIZED DRINK MENU?
The customized drink menu is a customized drink menu that we can create for you. For example, if you are having a wedding and you have a favorite fruit, lets say peach, we’ll create a cocktail for the occasion. We can create up to 3 drinks per event.
​
Note: This does not mean that we will print the menu for you. Unfortunately we don’t have quality printers, we rather focus on having quality bars.
