Now that 2017 is in the rearview and we are almost a month into 2018 new trends in the bar industry are already starting to emerge. It’s important to stay ahead of these fads in order to attract new customers to your bar or restaurant. Those of us in the bar and restaurant industry know this is easier said than done. Staying ahead of new trends while maintaining a growing business is not easily accomplished. That’s why we came up with this list of blogs we follow at The Portable Bar Company.
Being a restaurant equipment supplier that provides the best selling portable bars on the market, we make a habit of following certain blogs regularly in order to stay ahead of emerging trends and incorporate them into our lines of portable bars and bar equipment. If you are remodeling your bar or restaurant, starting a new one or just looking for new trends in the hospitality industry we suggest starting with these blogs.
