PRACTICAL BAR MANAGEMENT

Additional Services Although there may be a telephone exchange on the premises, with the usual extension lines into the Cocktail Bar, it is advisable to install telephone booths, with multi-coin boxes(as in the public 'phone boxes) for it enables patrons to have a little privacy in getting their own calls, and to pay for them at the same time. It is an excellent idea to install a sound system, which can be used for paging facilities, or as an asset to business on special occasions for the relaying of radio programmes, such as big sporting events or national speeches which are of interest to the clientele—it will stop them from running home,to listen at their own sets.
