Whether you’re opening a restaurant bar with a fullservices or a limited-services where drinks are made and then delivered to tables, it's easier to open a bar with a detailed plan and a perfect restaurant supply store. A checklist of necessary bar equipment mentioned here will help you to be better at bar management.

PRIMARY LIQUOR NEEDS Liquor comes in three distinct qualities - Cheap Liquor, Call Liquor, and Top-of-Shelf Liquor. All three should be kept in stock. Beyond this, don't forget to stock the basics of beer, whiskey, vodka, and wine as well as aperitifs and liqueurs.

GLASSES AND BARTENDING TOOLS If you’re just getting started with your bar, you will need to determine the number & type of glasses and different bartending tools that you and your staff will use for bartending. These should include mixing glasses, wine glasses, shot glasses, jiggers, cocktail shakers, muddlers, wine openers, and more.

COOLERS AND REFRIGERATION To serve chilled beverages, you will need coolers and refrigeration equipment for beer bottles, chilled wine, champagne, and garnishes items. Your must-have items like a walk-in cooler, a wine cooler, and a glycol system.

BAR FURNITURE AND OTHER EQUIPMENT When starting out, one budget-saving option is to purchase quality used equipment from restaurant suppliers. Must-have furnishing and bar equipment incorporates bar chairs, bar stool, tables, glass racks, cocktail strainers and shakers, an ice machine, liquor dispensers, garbage disposers, serving bowls, and an underbar sink.

A POS SYSTEM Last but not least, a bar POS (Point of sale) system gives you a faster and more organized way to manage daily sales and profits. Note that systems vary in their features, so make sure the POS system you choose fits your requirements.

Usually, the majority of your bar equipment will need to be maintained, repaired, or replaced at some point. Here finding some used restaurant equipment from genuine restaurant suppliers like Main Auction Services will save you money.
