Optimizing Performance in High-Volume Cocktail Bars: Ergonomics for Bartenders
In a busy, high-volume cocktail bar, bartenders are constantly in motion. The physical strain on the body can be significant, with many bartenders adjusting their shake technique during a shift due to muscle fatigue. The goal is an ergonomic position behind the bar, where the entire body remains as relaxed as possible, minimizing stress and strain from repetitive movements.
Our aim is to create a bar environment where bartenders experience no back pain and require minimal movement. Efficiency is a key aspect of ergonomics.
Every element of the bar is designed with muscle-intuitive placement, allowing us to reduce the amount of movement during a shift, which ultimately results in increased speed while conserving energy.
To perform at your best with minimal energy loss, there are several key dimensions to consider when building a bar. These dimensions apply to two popular setups: the upper-bar configuration and the tabletop configuration.
