ANGEL SHOT It is Friday, so TGIF it is. I mean, who doesn't look forward to Fridays? I know I do. It is that day of the week everyone looks forward to, especially corporate workers, ballers and baddies looking forward to unwind. Bars, Lounges and Restolounges welcome guests with opened arms. While enjoying the bustle and fanfare Friday has for us, I would like to draw our attention, especially ladies to an intriguing shot, 'The Angel Shot.' Unlike the regular liquor and liqueurs, The Angel Shot is a code signalling distress or assistance that is, a guest orders the above when they feel are starting to or are already tipsy in a bar or restaurant. As a manager in the hospitality industry, it is important to know what an Angel shot is and also educate the front of house, especially the wait staff and bartenders what it means,how it is ordered and what the orders mean. Angel shot neat or straight up means: Please escort me to my car. Angel shot on the rocks means: Please call me an uber. Angel shot with a twist of lime or lemon means: I am in danger. Dear FOH staff, when a guest requests for an Angel shot, please pay attention and repeat the order to confirm you heard right, then communicate the order to your line manager before taking necessary actions. Cheers 🥂. #Friday #TGIF #Hospitality #Safety #Bartenders #Managers

"Our planning journey was filled with the funniest conversations, playful road trips, delicious “best sandwich ever” lunches, and a few colourful deliberations as The Boys “enthusiatically discussed” the preferred direction of certain wedding decisions." https://lttr.ai/AW4pK #dreamgroup #vancouverwedding #weddingplanner #vancouverweddingplanner #weddingplanning #dreamgroupwedding

Meet the N&P team! For our first “Meet the Team,” we have a man who needs no introduction! You’ve seen him frequently on our social media, from hosting spirits tastings in our cellars to being an excellent hand model...Spirits Specialist, Steven Cook. In this series, we will be asking the Nickolls & Perks team a few questions so you can get to know the people who make N&P tick. "What’s your favourite Dram?" It's always a tricky question for a booze geek. Something peated in a port cask. "What’s your favourite local restaurant?" The Old Wharf Inn. I'll be there for another top-draw Sunday roast this month. "What’s your desert island drink?" Another toughie. A bourbon, perhaps. If you find any islands with Michter's 20 Year Old on tap, let me know. "What’s your favourite Band/Artist?" I'm a big fan of shoegaze-y style stuff like Stumbleine, Tourist or M83, they're great for a road trip. "What’s something you think is totally overrated?" Nightclubs. Too loud. Give me an old-school boozer, taproom or swanky bar any day. "...and finally What’s your guilty pleasure?" Horlicks. I'm already accused of being older than my years. A hot cup of Horlicks certainly doesn't do that reputation any favours. #NickollsPerks #MeetTheTeam

Employee appreciation is crucial to business growth but also means so much on a human level.

10 ideas for company Christmas parties that don’t have to centre around alcohol: 1. A nice meal at a restaurant 2. A game of mini-golf 3. A trip to the coast or the countryside 4. A game of bowling 5. A pizza party in the office 6. A cooking experience 7. An escape room 8. A trip to the cinema or theatre 9. A quiz night 10. A creative workshop Drinks, trips to the pub and boozy Christmas parties have become the norm, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Not everyone wants to spend their free time drinking - and we could be more understanding of that. It will be more than worth the effort of trying something different as a team. Any more recommedations?

My prior hot dog eating contest confession aside, I don't actually eat many hot dogs myself (vegan of course). Hardly ever, in fact… But while I was at Redhead Days (check out my previous post to learn what that is), I couldn't help but notice the bratwurst vendor. All weekend, the park was filled with food trucks and 70s music. At first, I thought the music was part of the event - until I realized it wasn’t just background noise. It was live! The hot dog vendor was wearing a microphone around his neck and singing his heart out while he served food. 🎤🌭 It was both fun and funny. But it was more than just a quirky moment. It was a brilliant way to create distinction and attract business. By singing, he turned a simple food stand into an experience that set him apart. I don’t actually know if he was doing it because he loves to sing or if it was a gimmick to draw in customers. But does that even matter? The point is, whether it came from a place of passion or creativity, it worked. It made his business memorable. His truck had a line of customers all day long. 💡Allowing room for creativity and self-expression—whether it’s rooted in passion or a clever idea—can turn an ordinary transaction into something people remember. Now I find myself wondering … how I can bring singing into my day job! 🎶 #business #marketing #authenticity [video description: a hot dog vendor in his truck with a mic around his neck moving around his truck preparing food and serving it to a line of customers while singing]

Year 4 of this Holiday tradition that got started during Covid as a way to connect with each other, gain new connections, and spread the Holiday cheer is starting to flow :) #2024HolidayBourbonExhange Last year, the 2023 Holiday Bourbon Exchange saw more than 160,000 people connect to it and because of it, some amazing stories of new connections, new jobs, and new companies/non profits started. If something great came from you joining the fun over the past 4 years, aside from getting bourbon in the mail, please respond. I love hearing the stories!! Also to take this up a notch and create a community that we can share in all year, consider following/connecting with The Bourbon Exchange. No matter where you're based, what industry you are in, you're invited to join in the fun. All you need to do is purchase *ONE* bottle of bourbon valued at $55 or more and send it to ONE secret bourbon enthusiast. In return, you could receive anywhere from 5 to 25 bourbon bottles—it all depends on how many fellow bourbon lovers participate. It is easy to join in the fun, since you can conveniently order online for direct delivery on any number of sites like Caskers or Whisky and Whiskey. If you're interested, drop a comment below or send me a message, and I'll send you all the details. Please only express interest if you're committed to sending a bottle, lest others get left holding the bag. Cheers to spreading joy and bourbon love! #2024HolidayBourbonExchange #TheBourbonExchange
