EASy Bottle: Luxury Minus Liability
Many high-end nightclubs, bars and lounges like to offer Bottle Service as a luxurious, relaxing way for patrons to enjoy their time at the establishment. Keeping bottles of liquor at the table where the patrons are seated creates the sense of a high-end atmosphere and a convenience for paying customers and even staff. However, if you own, operate, or are employed with one of these establishments you know the liability issues that come with offering this service. If you are concerned about liability and local or state regulations and laws, the EASy Bottle is likely the solution to your problems.
Most states strictly prohibit customers from pouring their own drinks at any establishment that serves alcohol, and with good reason. If you let patrons of your establishment serve themselves you would be running a gauntlet of liability risks. Are your patrons over-serving themselves? Consequences of over-serving include all sorts of things; medical issues, aggression and fighting, general destruction of property, and leaving your establishment too intoxicated to drive. One over-served person jeopardizes your entire base of customers and employees for the night. Another liability is the potential for underage drinking. Who is getting served alcohol? Has a minor slipped in with a group and began drinking from their bottles? I don’t even have to go over all of the liability issues involved with having intoxicated minors drinking at your establishment, but one of them would be the possibility of losing your liquor license. Out of control guests are definitely not going to contribute to the high-end atmosphere that you are trying to foster. So how does one offer the luxury of Bottle Service while not worrying about state and local laws and liability issues? The EASy Bottle is the most simple and effective solution.
The EASy Bottle is a form of bottle lock, that when applied to liquor bottles, prevents anyone who does not have a key from pouring any drinks. This allows your servers to help all of your guests and reduce liability, all while maintaining the luxurious feel of having bottles and mixers at the tables. The reusable caps are easily applied to the bottle and are simple for servers to use in a fast-paced environment. The four-pronged opening key comes standard on a retractable clip, which can be placed on essentially any type of clothing, allowing for fast and easy access to the key when there is a need to pour beverages.
At first glance it may seem like too much trouble to lock your bottles, and some may think this will create too much of an inconvenience for the patrons who you are serving. A keen manager, however, will quickly see bottle locks as a customer service opportunity. Locked bottles creates a strong need for high-level service. Servers can push guest service to a new level by frequently checking on patrons, and in turn, sell more products. It also gives them the opportunity to discuss different liquors and upgrades to the guests and generate a base of customers that will frequent your establishment. Reducing liability for the business you are operating is absolutely crucial in this day and age, but we all know the only way to thrive in business is to create return customers. When a business is known for having issues with out-of -control guests, over-serving, serving minors, etc., it can drive away the higher-paying customer you are trying to acquire and maintain.
Equipping your liquors with the EASy Bottle not only mitigates your chances of loss, but can also create a finer atmosphere and space for the customers that you need to maintain your business.
