You can only achieve an efficient workflow when your work area is clean and well-organised. This is true also for bars and restaurants where time, money and guest satisfaction are all measures of how well they're set up.

- A sample closing checklist with instructions for each of the seven closing stages
- A maintenance checklist for keeping a venue's entrance, dining room, bar and guest facilities in a tidy and clean condition
- A quiz to test your knowledge of opening and closing procedures.

Garnishes are important in cocktails for both visual appeal and aromatic enhancement. They add an attractive touch to the drink, making it more inviting to consumers.
"Mise en place" (pronounced meez ahn plahs) is a French culinary term that translates to "putting in place" or "everything in its place." In the context of hospitality, it refers to the practice of gathering and arranging all the necessary ingredients, tools, and equipment needed before you begin.
In this course, we will look at aspects of mise en place and garnishes, equipping you with the knowledge for efficiently crafting visually appealing cocktails.
