When bartenders have the advantage of automatic rinsing, the idea of cleaning-as-you-go becomes a reality. 🙌🏻 Because Auto-Rinse™ only takes 2 seconds to load, it's the fastest way to rinse bar tools. That's why bartenders love it. ❤️ Auto-Rinse™ brings order to chaos because it solves the issue of rinsing mixing tins and other tools--which is a major bottleneck in cocktail production. Bartenders always have a clean set of tins waiting for them, because while they're making the next drink, Auto-Rinse™ is rinsing their tins for them... ✅ inside and out ✅ hands-free ✅ with warm water ✅ while also melting the shaker ice Auto-Rinse™ also eliminates clutter, because bartenders now only need 2 sets of tins to continuously make drinks--without interruption. Gone are the days of using workarounds like beer glass rinsers to clean bar tools! Now that bartenders have an optimal tool that was designed from the ground-up for the specific task of rinsing bar tools, they can work faster than ever before! That's why Auto-Rinse™ is in a category of its own! 🏆 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/et9MuYD #bars #restaurants #cocktails #foodsafety #restaurantdesign #bardesign

Bartenders experience love at first sight when they use Auto-Rinse™, because it was designed for them by one of their own--yours truly. 💕👀 And they don't love it JUST because a fellow bartender designed it--they love it because it makes sense. 🧠 For the longest time, bartenders were given beer glass rinsers to clean their tins. They were forced to use an improvised solution that fell short of what they really needed.👎🏻 And while beer glass rinsers were a "good-enough" solution, Auto-Rinse™ has made them obsolete. Beer glass rinsers fall short for these reasons: ❌ they only rinse the inside surfaces of one tin ❌ they cannot rinse a Hawthorne strainer ❌ they only rinse with cold water ❌ they're hard to clean ❌ they're hard to retrofit into existing bars Most of all, they require manual operation--which wastes time and produces inconsistent results. Auto-Rinse™ is the only piece of equipment that was designed specifically to solve the problem of automatically rinsing a COMPLETE set of bar tools.💡 That's why it won the KI Award, and that's why it's in a category of its own.🏆 That's also why bartenders are super-fans of it!

People will forgive long wait times on food--but NEVER for drinks! This is why it's so critical to help your bartenders work fast. 🚀🍸🚀 One of the biggest bottlenecks in drink production is having to rinse mixing tins, jiggers, shakers, and other bar tools--so the next drink doesn't taste like the last drink.😬 In my early days as a bartender, I found that rinsing my drink-making tools slowed me down more than anything. 🐌 That's why I invented Auto-Rinse™--the only piece of equipment designed to automatically rinse a complete set of bar tools.💡 I took Tim Ferriss's advice, and scratched my own itch. I solved my own problem, knowing that thousands of other bartenders were suffering from the exact same thing. I knew that if I could automate the process of rinsing a complete set of bar tools (2 tins + 1 strainer), I could save myself so much time--and it would be a complete game-changer. 🙌🏼 And not only for me, but for the entire front of house. 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Because when drinks are made faster, servers get back to their tables faster, which means they can engage more and sell more. If you want to help your FOH staff bring in more revenue, you need to invest in automatic rinsing with Auto-Rinse™.

We realized very quickly that in order to sell to the large restaurant groups, we needed to quantify the value our equipment offers. That's exactly what we did for both of our products with our Impact Summaries. To me, Auto-Rinse™ is a no-brainer that needs no explanation. As a bartender, it makes complete sense to me. But from the perspective of the corporate operator, who doesn't understand the power of decreasing ticket times by even a few seconds, we needed to tell the story with numbers, figures, charts, and graphs. So, we measured the handling time required when rinsing bar tools using Auto-Rinse, and every other method bartenders use. Handling time is key, because that's the actual time spent engaging with each rinsing method. For example, to thoroughly rinse 2 tins with a beer glass rinser, it takes a minimum of 3 seconds per tin. (Although beer glass rinsers cannot rinse Hawthorne strainers, or the outer surfaces of the tins, we didn't count that against the beer glass rinser). While it only takes about 7 seconds to load a glass washer, they're useless for rinsing tins because they waste time, chemicals, and energy. To satisfy the skeptics, we made a comparison video so the operators could see for themselves how much faster Auto-Rinse is. If you want to decrease the time your bartenders spend rinsing their tools so they can make drinks faster, you need to check out Auto-Rinse. And if you want to see the complete Impact Summaries for both products, click on the link in first comment below. We'd love to talk more about how we can help your front of house run faster.

During the course of a night, a bartender can make hundreds of shaken drinks. 😳 And when they don't have a convenient way to rinse their dirty tins, they start piling up. 👎🏻 Eventually, bartenders run out of fresh tins and have to stop everything to rinse their tins. And when beverage production stops, ❌ guests wait longer for their drinks ❌ tables turns take longer ❌ revenue drops Automatic rinsing with Auto-Rinse™ finally solves this problem. 🙌🏻 Auto-Rinse™ allows bartenders to integrate cleaning their drink-making tools seamlessly into their workflow, because the handling time is so fast. All they have to do is load the machine, press the button, and then move on to the next task. 🚀 Bartenders can now start making the next drink while Auto-Rinse™ cleans the dirty tins. By the time they need to make the next drink, a clean set of tins is waiting for them! 💪🏼 It's a simple concept, but the benefits of cutting ticket times is quite significant. The faster bartenders work, the more money your operation makes. 🏇🏻 = 💵 Step into the future and stop making your bartenders manually rinse their tins. They have better things to do that actually make you more revenue! Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/et9MuYD #bars #restaurants #cocktails #foodsafety #restaurantdesign #bardesign

Bartenders know what a pain it is to rinse Hawthorne strainers (to prevent flavor cross-contamination). But rinsing cocktail strainers is another super-power of Auto-Rinse™ that's part of its design.🥇 When I first set out to design an automatic bar tool rinsing station, one of the must-haves was the ability to rinse Hawthorne strainers. I wanted Auto-Rinse™ to be adaptable to all styles of bartending, and some bartenders use strainers every time they make a shaken drink. I also wanted Auto-Rinse™ to be a significant improvement over beer glass rinsers, or else it wasn't worth releasing to the market. Auto-Rinse™ rinses Hawthorne strainers in 2 ways: 1️⃣ On the Rinse Platform itself, where the handles can rest on the rubber nubs (so they don't fall over) 2️⃣ In one of the two Hawthorne strainer slots located below the Rinse Platform This versatility helps bartenders and baristas quickly integrate Auto-Rinse™ into their individual workflow styles. 🙌🏼 So much that once they work with Auto-Rinse™, they can't imagine working without it. ❤️ They instantly notice the productivity boost! Because when they no longer have to pause to rinse their tins, they can work faster than ever before! 🚀 If you want to increase your beverage production productivity to boost sales, Auto-Rinse™ was built for you. Beer glass rinsers simply cannot do what Auto-Rinse™ does, and that's why Auto-Rinse™ is such a game-changer.

Why do I see so many bartenders delay cleaning their tins after shaking a drink? It's not laziness. 💡 The real reason: they don't have access to Automatic Rinsing. How do I know this? Because in every bar that has an Auto-Rinse™, bartenders DO clean as they go. Why? Because when you automate the rinsing process, you decrease friction. Decreased friction allows bartenders to integrate rinsing their tools into the drink-making process--because it only takes 2 seconds. With Auto-Rinse™, they no longer have to: ❌ walk to a 3-compartment sink and manually clean their tools ❌ manually press down on a beer glass rinser (which only rinses the inside of the tins and doesn't clean a cocktail strainer ❌ put their tools in a glass washer and wait for it to cycle ❌ use a soda gun to manually rinse out their tins 🤦♀️ ❌ use a hand or dump sink to manually rinse their tools With Auto-Rinse™, the bartender can place BOTH shakers AND a strainer in the unit, press a button, and keep making drinks. Automatic Rinsing is better than Manual Rinsing, because it: ✅ saves time ✅ saves water, chemicals, & electricity ✅ allows staff to generate more revenue If you want to make your operations more profitable, you need Automatic Rinsing in your bars. Patented, award-winning Auto-Rinse™ is the solution you and your bartenders have been waiting for. #bars #restaurants #foodservice #cocktails #bubbletea #specialtycoffee
