Meet ANDREA
I'm Andrea, and I'm Here to Help You Open With Confidence
Opening a new bar or restaurant is already a lot to carry. When the beverage program is still unfinished, every missing detail can turn into stress, waste, and slow service when the doors finally open.
I've helped build and launch bars in Panama and Miami, trained in award-winning restaurants, and competed in World Class by Diageo. I plan the menu, layout, inventory, sourcing, systems, and staff training so your bar is ready to perform from the first night.
You open prepared, not scrambling.

GOT QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before we get started.
We're a Small, New Business. Is This Service Still a Fit?
Yes. New openings are exactly when the right systems matter most. Building the bar correctly before launch helps you avoid waste, weak margins, and costly fixes later.
Can We Afford This During an Opening?
A poorly planned bar can cost far more through over-ordering, slow service, weak pricing, and lost margin. The goal is to build the program correctly from the start so it can support the business instead of draining it.
Will Our New Staff Be Able to Execute the Program?
Yes. Your team is trained before launch on the menu, prep, systems, and service standards so they can step behind the bar with more confidence and consistency.
How Far Ahead Should We Start?
Ideally, planning should begin several weeks to a few months before opening. The exact timeline depends on your menu, sourcing, equipment, staffing, and launch date.
Do You Handle Sourcing and Equipment Planning?
Yes. Support can include product sourcing, distributor setup, opening inventory, par levels, and bar layout guidance so you know what to buy, how much to order, and where everything should go.
