how to improve your bartending techniques - your style behind the bar - to know what does the RITUAL - PROCES mean/count at the bar from the staindpont of the guest. what and how we can learn from the sushi chefs, to improve our bartending skills. When you watch sushi chefs "in action," take notice of the elegant and precise technique - the sense for detail, perfect concentration on the preparation of the food and at the same time a spontaneous easiness in every movement. You can see how the guests watch this ritual with eyes open, and accordingly their satisfaction of the meal is much more intense. How these Japanese artists of the kitchen take care of their tools, how they pay attention to their technique - all this in front of the guests become an incredible performance. The guests can feel the professionalism and passion it contains, which is translated into a wonderful meal. What's more, also in this art the Japanese people show their interest in beauty in every form. The art of sushi chefs is a great inspiration for bartenders as well. Behind the bar they can apply this approach in mixing cocktails and in the same way in serving even "ordinary" shots. The point is to make an effort, give yourself to every action or technique a hundred percent, and to realize the importance of this process from the standpoint of the guest. Just imagine yourself doing it with the lightness of a dolphin swimming in the turquoise waters of the south Pacific. Your mind (as your approach, focus on the constant satisfaction of the guests and realize the fact that they are here for a complete experience, and not just for the drink), your body (above all, you should be healthy; if you are not fit you cannot work with full enthusiasm), and your technique (precision, aesthetics, ability, focus on details, effectiveness, but also your own style, that which makes you unique) have to be in absolute harmony. Remember, that the guests see your every movement, and that is why you should be concerned about the beauty of the preparation of the drink. It is a reflection of your professionalism and also your dedication to this art. There is nothing nicer than to watch bartenders at work, creating drinks with the precision of a surgeon and the passion of a conductor, and at the same time shining with sprezzatura.
