Bartending & Bar Programs — The Complete Guide

Everything worth knowing.

Qfire's bar program is licensed, insured, and fully managed. We build the cocktail list around your menu and your guests, stock to the right par, staff to the right ratios, and run the bar like a hospitality room — not a beverage table.

We offer beer-and-wine bars, full open bars, premium and luxury tiers, signature cocktail programs, and zero-proof menus. Bartenders arrive uniformed, friendly, and disciplined. Glassware, mixers, garnishes, and ice are coordinated as part of the package.

What's Included

Your proposal, line by line.

No hidden fees, no surprise gratuities, no upsells the day of. Every Qfire proposal is itemized so you know exactly what your investment buys.

  • Licensed, insured bartenders
  • Mobile bar setup (or your existing bar)
  • Custom cocktail menu
  • Mixers, juices, syrups, garnishes
  • Ice, glassware (or eco disposable)
  • Bar tools, shakers, jiggers
  • Pre-event consultation and pour plan
  • Full setup and breakdown
Planning Tips From Chef Terry

What experienced hosts get right.

After 2,500+ events, these are the calls that consistently separate an unforgettable evening from a stressful one.

01

Pick one signature cocktail

Two max. More than that slows the bar and confuses the guest experience.

02

Plan ratios honestly

One bartender per 75 guests for beer/wine, one per 50 for full bar, one per 35 for premium cocktails.

03

Stock for the front half

Most consumption happens in the first 90 minutes. We stock the bar accordingly.

04

Always offer zero-proof

A real mocktail program — not just soda water — has become a true luxury standard.

05

Decide BYO vs full service

We can pour your alcohol or supply everything. The math usually favors letting us handle it end-to-end.

The Booking Process

From first inquiry to final plate.

A simple, transparent path designed to remove guesswork. Most clients book in under 10 days.

  1. 1

    Share guest count and bar style

    Beer/wine, full bar, premium, luxury, or signature.

  2. 2

    Custom bar proposal

    Itemized with staffing, supplies, and cocktail list.

  3. 3

    Refine the cocktail menu

    Two rounds of refinement included.

  4. 4

    Lock final headcount

    14 days out, with adjustments allowed for late RSVPs.

  5. 5

    Event day

    Bar set 90 minutes before service. Polished, calm, and on time.

Why Qfire

What actually makes us different.

A short list of things our clients tell us they couldn't find anywhere else.

Licensed and insured

Real liquor liability coverage. COI provided to your venue.

Hospitality, not just pours

Our bartenders are part of the show — friendly, fast, and gracious.

Built into one invoice

Food, service, and bar on a single proposal, single point of contact.

Booked With Confidence

The reassurance most caterers won't put in writing.

Itemized, all-in pricing

Every proposal lists food, service, rentals, travel, and gratuity separately. No surprise fees. No day-of upsells. The number you sign is the number you pay.

Licensed, insured, food-safe

Fully licensed and insured with ServSafe-certified leadership. Most premium venues already have us on their approved-vendor list.

Date held with a fair deposit

Your date is reserved with a transparent date-charge applied directly to your final invoice — not a sunk fee.

Menu stays flexible until 15 days out

Refine your menu, swap proteins, and adjust guest count as your plans evolve. The contract holds the date, not the menu.

Chef Terry personally designs every menu

You aren't handed off to a junior coordinator. The chef who appears on Food Network reads your inquiry and builds your proposal.

On-time setup, every event

We arrive early, set with calm precision, and finish service on schedule. Our reviews on Google and The Knot reflect it.

More Questions, Answered

A deeper knowledge base.

The questions thoughtful clients ask once they're seriously considering booking.

Do you provide the alcohol?

+

We can supply alcohol or pour what you provide — both are common. We'll recommend the cleaner option based on your venue rules.

Can you do a cash bar?

+

Yes, where permits allow. Most luxury hosts choose hosted bars or hybrid (hosted beer/wine, cash spirits).

Do you carry liquor liability insurance?

+

Yes — full liquor liability coverage with COI delivered to your venue in advance.
