Are you ready to glimpse the future? Tune in for an enlightening conversation about the upcoming 2024 bar industry trends. We're talking martini resurgence, the potential rum comeback, and the need for innovative ingredients. It's clear that flexibility and a focus on local communities will be key for bars in the post-COVID era. And, for those who appreciate a good drink, but not necessarily the buzz, we're discussing the rise of low-alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages, sober months, and the emergence of wine-based cocktails.
The future of the bar business isn't all about the drinks though. We're chatting about the growing popularity of small plates and the need for more frequent menu changes. We also cover price sensitivity in the hospitality industry and the growing trend of house-made items—everything from salad dressings to non-alcoholic beverages. In this changing landscape, it's all about providing fantastic experiences at fair prices, and we'll discuss how bars can adapt to meet these challenges.
But we're not stopping there. We're delving into the broader industry and tech trends that could shape 2024 in unexpected ways. Will late-night activities decline amidst a cultural shift and increasing safety concerns? Is tech in the front of the house a thing of the past, or will it find a new home in the back of the house? If you're interested in what the future holds for the bar industry, you won't want to miss out on this episode.
