Bottle Service Can Eliminate A Lot Of Liability For Nightclub Owners

One insurance website, greenwood insurance.net discusses club and bar liabilities related to alcohol stating, “…alcohol-related risks that can prove costly in the form of liability lawsuits, customer injuries, and other potential problems.” The site gives several steps a nightclub should practice at all times:

  • Train employees how to identify and refuse service of alcohol to patrons who are intoxicated.
  • Require bartenders to properly measure portions when mixing drinks.
  • Refuse service of alcohol to patrons who have a reputation for violence and/or abusiveness under the influence.
  • Create and enforce policies for verifying age.

Starting a bottle service and incorporating the use of bottle locks in a club is a great way to make all of these best practices happen.

 

Bottle services are simply an added experience a club owner can offer to patrons to make the night out a unique experience. Typically an offering will be a group package that is purchased in advance and can have different incentives. Low end packages may offer a booth near the DJ and one bottle of a top shelf wine or spirit. Premium packages may offer a private lounge and bar with a bartender and two or more top shelf beverages. All packages should offer a bottle service waiter or waitress who is assigned to the party. The bottles of spirits or wine are served to the table or group with bottle locks on them and only the bottle server has the detachment key to open the locks.

 

How does a bottle service address each of the suggestions laid out by the insurance company? Let’s begin with training employees to identify and refuse service of alcohol to intoxicated patrons. The bottle server is trained to be the eyes and ears for the nightclub. Since they are serving a select group he/she will already be trained on what to look for in a person who may be reaching their limit. Part of a bottle service agreement may have a stipulation that the server can use discretion to cut-off service if they deem a group member is becoming too inebriated. Since the bottles locks can only be removed by the server, refusal of service is easy to control.

 

Requiring bartenders to properly measure portions when mixing drinks should be part of a nightclub training requirement for new staff. Bartenders, as well as bottle services staff would receive the same training and be expected to adhere to club policy. Again, the benefit of having one staff member assigned to serve a single table or group, providing a V.I.P. level of service, makes it easier for the server to take their time mixing and pouring, rather than the hectic activity surrounding a bar.

 

Refusal of service of alcohol to patrons who have a reputation for violence and/or abusiveness under the influence can be easy when bottle services are used. Assuming the patron is known to the club and has been permitted access anyways, management can make it clear to the person who is purchasing the service that alcohol will not be served to that specific group member. Again, the beauty of a server controlling a detachment key is that THEY have the ability to refuse to remove a lock. I would even suggest the servers be in regular communication with management and security staff and serve as an early warning system if they deem a patron is becoming too loud or unruly. 

 

Finally, age verification and enforcement is so much easier to control with a bottle service. If a group is purchasing a service and a minor will be among them, that minor can be introduced to the server in advance.  A good server will establish a strong rapport with the group and get to know the members. Around a bar where patrons are crowded together, it can be easy to miss the underage customer trying to make an illegal purchase.  Small group service removes that element of anonymity.

 

Consider all the potential pitfalls you can avoid in your nightclub by simply offering bottle services that include bottle locks. Also, don’t overlook the profits that a new service can add to the bottom line.

Bottle Service Keeps Your Nightclub From Becoming A Wild West Saloon!

Bottle Service Keeps Your Nightclub From Becoming A Wild West Saloon!
     I am a HUGE fan of western movies and ESPECIALLY John Wayne!  I love sitting down and watching the bad guys terrorizing the town and then the sheriff, outnumbered and outgunned takes on the unruly gang and their leader.  How about the saloon fights?  One guy standing at the bar minding his own business and in walks the local bully who gets drunk and wants to start a fight?  The little guy gets pushed around and in steps someone who is willing to confront the bully and his thugs.  Fists fly, the piano player in the corner trying to play his music while mayhem rules the barroom.  Mugs of beer get tossed in a person’s face and whiskey bottles are smashed over someone’s head.  I know, it’s the movies, it is glamorized and the reality is fights leave people really hurt and not everyone wakes up after a pitcher of water is tossed on the face.  Now, what would happen in those same movies if the saloons (the nightclubs of the day) offered a bottle service to their customers?  The scenario would be a little different and so would my movie watching.
     A little background on what the bottle service is before I go on.  Nightclubs that offer this service are offering a party package that is purchased in advance.  The group pays for a waiter/waitress who will be attending to the party for the night.  They also receive a booth or table and in some cases a room that gives them a best view in the house, so to speak.  Their server will pour and mix their drinks from a bottle or two of a premium wine or alcohol beverage.  Each bottle is secured with a bottle lock so the server controls who gets a drink and how much.  Hint: The server can also cut off a party member who is getting too drunk or obnoxious.
     Now, picture what my favorite westerns would look like if the saloons of the day had bottle service.  The outlaw gang makes reservations for their group for the night.  They arrive and are greeted by the saloon owner who makes a big show of their arrival and escorts them to a table near the piano player and they meet their waitress for the evening.  The barroom (or nightclub) starts to fill with patrons and people are having a good time.  The gang leader has had a couple of drinks and is starting to get loud.  He demands another drink and the waitress refuses to take the bottle lock off of the whiskey.  Our bad guy is now more demanding and wants the bottle lock removed so he can pour his own drink.  The waitress reminds him that as per their service agreement, she is responsible for removing the bottle lock and mixing drinks and has the right to cut off a guest who she feels is too intoxicated.  The waitress contacts the saloon owner who then reviews the terms of the agreement with the gang and explains the beech of the contract.  The gang reluctantly gets up and leaves the saloon. No fight breaks out and everyone else continues to enjoy a good time.
     Boy, am I glad they didn’t have bottle service in the old days that certainly would not make for an entertaining movie!  Of course I am being silly, but in a sense this is what a service can do for today’s nightclub or bar owner.  Create a unique experience for a group, perhaps for a birthday party or other celebration and provide a dedicated server who can control drinks and mixing.   Should a group member start to become too drunk or out of line, they can be cut-off from additional drinks and club security can be made aware before the person starts to fight or cause a problem.
     Bottle service is a great way to increase your income and offer new experiences for your customers. Don’t let your nightclub turn into a Wild West saloon, make it a fun, safe and controlled environment for everyone!

Revel In More Revenue By Adding Bottle Service 
     If you already own a nightclub or bar, I’m probably not going to be able to tell you much about how lucrative the club industry can be.  I’m also not going to be able to tell you how many staff to hire, or what to charge for a drink.  But, what I may be able to offer you is a suggestion that can make your business more profitable than it already is.  Before I let you in on my suggestion, I would like to share some statistics from nciaa.com (Nightlife and Club Association of America).  According to their website: “ A study conducted by Optimize Atlanta with participating Atlanta nightclubs and lounges, reveals interesting information about nightclubs, VIP, Bottle Service, and Group Dynamics.  We learned that the average overall bottle price is $239; the overall average drink price is $10.50; 67% consume two or more drinks, shots or cocktails; and spend $55 on average.”  Now, consider this information from howmuchisit.org: “…the most common way to charge for bottle service is per bottle. On average, depending on the type of alcohol served, plan on spending anywhere from $200 to as much as $800 per bottle.”  They go on to say, “If you want to break it down per person, it is best to estimate $150 – $300 PER person.” So, according to the information from the two websites, the average club patron will spend $55 versus the bottle service patron who may spend as much as $300.  The numbers are not guaranteed, part of what needs to be taken into consideration is what a nightclub is offering for their particular packages.  No matter how you slice it though, this service can significantly increase a club owner’s profits.
     So now you are wondering what a bottle service entails. It is a special offer to groups who are looking for a club that will treat them like VIP’s.  This might be for a reunion, a birthday party, or perhaps an after- hours office party.  The group pays a price based on the level of service they are seeking.  The more amenities requested or the larger the party the more bottles are required to be ordered by the group.  For example, a party of four seated in a booth by the dance floor might be charged a price that includes a single bottle of champagne or other top shelf spirit.  The alcohol they order should come with a bottle lock and the package price includes a waiter or waitress dedicated to serving the party during the night.  The server has a bottle lock key that will permit only the dedicated server to open the bottle and pour drinks.  The bottle lock keeps anyone not affiliated with the group from pilfering drinks from the bottle.  It also allows the server to control the serving sizes to ensure alcohol measurements are proper.  The bottle lock is tamper proof so if someone were to pick up the bottle and take it somewhere to open it, chances are they will break the bottle rather than get it open.  
Clubs also benefit with the service because the dedicated server can be more committed to building rapport with the group they are assigned to and will be able to identify if a member of the party might be having too much to drink.  If the server believes the customer is too intoxicated a ride home with a designated driver or a cab can be arranged.   The bottle lock gives staff the ability to cut off that patron’s alcohol consumption.
     Customers will love the opportunity to receive VIP treatment and to be the center of attention.  Nightclub owners will enjoy the increased profits that a bottle service will provide.

Bottle Service Helps Create A Controlled And Safer Environment

Bottle Service Helps Create A Controlled And Safer Environment
     Nightclubs tend to get a reputation for being a nuisance in the communities where they are located.  Complaints from residents include loud noise, litter, violence and underage drinking.  Of course club owners recognize that having a poor reputation has a negative impact on sales and attendance.  The difficulty for the club owner or manager is trying to get all of the negatives under control and create a business model that is welcome in the community and by neighboring businesses.  Is there any easy solution to establishing a solid reputation among the public?  It is my contention that if you start a bottle service as part of your operation you can make strides in building a positive reputation and at the same time increasing your profits.
     The bottle service itself is really just offering a VIP option for your guests to purchase.  Clients will make a reservation either over the phone or online and purchase a VIP package.  The nightclub establishes different packages based on the size of the party making the reservation, the number and type of wine or spirit bottles being offered in the package (usually a top shelf brand) and the setting for the group.  For example a party of four may be looking for a booth located near the DJ.  A group of twenty celebrating a birthday party may want a private room with a view of the dance floor.  The club then has a server dedicated to waiting on the group for the night.  The bottle(s) of alcohol ordered by the group are delivered to the table with bottle locks on them.  The waiter or waitress dedicated to the group has the detachment key for the bottle locks and serves the drinks for the group.  Consider the benefits afforded the club by controlling the drinks being served to a group and the ability of the server to monitor his or her patrons.  A trained server can make management aware of a patron they feel is becoming too intoxicated or obnoxious to other customers.  That server can also choose not to open a bottle lock, and refuse to serve additional drinks to a member of the group who they deem to have had too much to drink.
   Here is where I think the addition of the bottle service can help address several of the concerns I mentioned earlier.  According to The World Health Organization, in a report titled, “Youth violence and alcohol”, “HARMFUL AND HAZARDOUS alcohol use are risk factors both for being victimized and perpetuating youth violence. Youth violence takes many forms including bullying, gang violence, sexual aggression and assaults occurring in streets, bars and nightclubs” (emphasis mine).  The report goes on to list the environment in clubs and bars as a contributing factor to violence, “Uncomfortable, crowded and poorly managed drinking venues contribute to increased aggression among drinkers.”  Many clubs do permit young adults under the age of 21 to enter their establishments with the stipulation that they are not to be served alcohol.  This is supposed to be enforced by checking ID cards and then usually the hand is stamped.  Certainly we know that many of these underage patrons still manage to get hold of alcoholic beverages while in the building.  This can then lead to the problems of violence, aggressive behavior and the legal ramifications of serving to underage persons.  On top of this the club owner still has legal concerns if a patron leaves and drives away and is involved in a vehicle accident.  Having a bottle service gives the nightclub more control over those who are in a party, with a dedicated server providing personal service and knowing who is a part of the group.  The server also controls the dispensing of drinks with the bottle lock and detachment key and therefore can play a significant factor in preventing underage drinking.  As your staff pays closer attention to the patrons the opportunities for loud noise, obnoxious behavior and violence is diminished. 
     Operating your nightclub with a bottle service and also using bottle locks will aid you in controlling your environment and keeping neighboring business owners happy.  You will also see your profits increase as customers look to your club for that VIP treatment.

EASy Bottle: Luxury Minus Liability

(EASy Bottle-5, Bottle Service-2)
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.
