menu item: drinks for the kitchen?
- r
- relizabeth Nov 11, 2012 04:43 PM
We recently noticed the option to buy drinks for the kitchen on some menus. I've attached pdfs of 2 of them. Have you seen this anywhere? Where/when did this start? odd, no?
edit: cant attach pdfs. here are links to restaurants. btw, we've had very good meals at both.
(click to see it on PDF
(open dinner menu)
re: ttoommyy
gah! I added links to find them on original post.
re: PotatoHouse
<<Some thought that the owners pocketed the money and the kitchen didn't get squat.>>
Oh, that would be tasteless and very unkind - though I can well imagine such.
re: PotatoHouse
There's a place near me w/ an open kitchen and they certainly receive them (also on the menu). They'll bring some cans to the line and you'll see them all drinking them.
I have never seen such.
However, as we dine as a couple most often, and love our wines, we often have more, than we can safely drink.
Depending on the situation, we often offer the remainder, of maybe three bottles, to the staff.
Once, our server commented on the Montrachet that we were having. We quickly invited her to share a glass, to experience a big, French Chard.
Not that long ago, we ordered a very special Pinot Noir. Even the sommelier, who was serving us that night, had never tasted it, nor had the service captain, who did not even know that it had been added to the wine list. Each got a glass.
If I have done a BYOW (not very often), the sommelier, the chef, and the owner (if different than the chef), all get a glass.
Guess that it is similar, but have just never seen an option to provide the kitchen with a "drink." Think that I might do so AFTER my meal, and not before, but that is just me.
I have never hear of this practice before.
Staff drinking yes, requesting the purchase of drinks, no.
I wonder about the liability issue of having staff person drink on the job, I can't imagine why an owner or manager would solict alcohol for employees, whether it was to be consumed before or after shift.
We have shared tastes of wine with servers and restaurant owners at BYOB places but somehow, that feels different than buying a six pack (or whatever) for the kitchen.
re: cleobeach
I agree. I have never heard of it either. And I wonder about the wisdom of encouraging drinking on the job by workers who already work in tight conditions and under stress AND AROUND FIRE AND WITH POTS OF HOT LIQUID AND HOT GREASE. A busy restaurant kitchen during the dinner service does not sound to me like the ideal place to get drunk. Is there a liability issue here?
We have a restaurant that does it here, and I can tell you for sure they get the drinks, though they are not consumed til after service. When someone buys a round of drinks for the kitchen, a bell goes off and the kitchen all cheers, and a tray full of cans of cheap beer is marched down into the prep kitchen and into a cooler (have seen it happen). Kitchen people are generally not into fakey-fakey crap like singing happy birthday for a customer, so I kind of doubt the cheer would go up if they weren't really going to get the beer.
I have sent a glass of wine back to a chef I am familiar with, I have shared wine with my favorite bartender and offered a glass to the sommelier. I cannot, however get my head around it being on the menu.
I've seen it before on the coasts, but never in the KC area. Interesting.
I guess I don't really have a problem with people wanting to buy a round for the kitchen if they felt they did a great job, however something bothers me about management making a profit off your good will by charging you more than cost (or perhaps a slight mark-up so it's not so obvious what their profit is) $10 for a 6-pack of PBR? I'd rather go down to the corner store, buy a six pack, and give it to the kitchen.
re: pollymerase
I was thinking the same thing regarding pricing, pollymerase. I know I've seen this on the menu at a few restaurants I've patronized, but never really at places as linked in the OP. In my experience, places that have this on the menu are those with an active bar, mostly standard bar grub, and a menu that describes the food through jokes.
Moreover, in my experience the restaurant offers the drinks for the staff at cost or at staff prices.
Having it on the menu as an option strikes me as odd.
I can see when occasionally someone decides to do it spontaneously, but if it's supposed to be a common thing, I'm not sure I really want the kitchen staff to be consuming that much alcohol while preparing my food.
Plus, as someone else said, the restaurant is still making a profit on that drink you buy for their staff.
re: tastesgoodwhatisit
I think they typically drink it at the end of the shift--either after work or perhaps during breakdown/clean-up, but I've not heard of them actually drinking while working the line.
That said, I'm guessing it is a fairly rare occurrence (based on when I've asked people at restaurants who offer it), so I doubt they are getting trashed on the line. Management is going to allow that to happen.
re: pollymerase
I agree that when you actually see "Drinks for the Kitchen" or a similar menu item on the menu, it is understood that the drinks will be consumed post-shift.
However, I bristle at the suggestion that cooks, servers and other staff don't drink while working. Many, if not most, of the people I know in the service industry regularly drink both before and during work. Several cooks I know at many high-end places cop to having a plastic cup of alcohol always available at their station, and as long as they keep it together while working the line, it is tolerated. Servers at high-end places are usually absolutely forbidden to drink during work, but many grab a few drinks beforehand. At many restaurant-bar type places I go to servers and cooks will drink during their shift. Not infrequently I will share a beverage with an on-duty server or cook...
re: MonMauler
I completely agree that some front and back of the house staff are often drinking before/during/after their shift. I meant that I didn't think if someone ordered a round for the kitchen at 7:30 that they were drinking it then.
I was aware that those higher up on the chain in the kitchen might drink during service, but I didn't realize that the rookies/newer people did as well. I always thought of it as a situation where those more experienced knew where alcohol/other substances would help them deal with the pressure, but not put them over. Having someone who is just learning the line drinking, seems to me to be more of a potential issue.
I think a lot of it probably depends upon the establishment. I have a friend who is a server at a fairly high volume brasserie where they are absolutely forbade from ever drinking there. Even on nights off, they can't go in to have a drink at the bar. He does, however, often have before work drinks elsewhere. I don't know how the kitchen works, however.
re: MonMauler
Depending on how well a restaurant interfaces the food an wine-pairings, I can see the kitchen staff having some wines to taste, while preparing the food, though in most cases, that I have encountered, the chef and the sommelier have worked that out well before hand.
Since the kitchen is not quit "brain surgery" - how about a drink for the surgeon, on the surgery form?, it is probably not a big deal.
There is always the option of just tipping more.
Having a "drinks for the kitchen" on the menu is certainly in keeping with P.T. Barnum's First Law of Economics.
True story: a restaurant near me had lamb tartare, topped with a poached quail egg and served with pickled ramps. It's the single best dish I've ever had anywhere, but the availability was limited. Finally they ran out of it, but they saved the very last portion for me because I had sent the kitchen beer on a couple of occasions. The staff at this place treated me so well that I had to stop posting about them on Chowhound, but that was because I treated them well.
Being good to people pays off. I'm not crazy about the idea of drinks for the kitchen appearing on the menu, but sending them a round is never a bad idea.
re: JonParker
That sounds like a great implementation of "drinks for the kitchen!"
PS - one of the sommeliers at a resort, that we frequent, told us that they were almost out of the '05 Montrachets, and that all sommeliers had ceased recommending them, so that my wife and I would still have a few. He stated that if a patron did not request that vintage, then they would all suggest something BUT an '05. Not sure if that was because we always share our wines with the sommeliers and servers, or not?
I have a different take on this, having been a waitress for many years. We had a German Chef who loved his beer and was big on bringing the guys in the kitchen beer from the taps. Friday and Saturday nights, it became increasingly difficult to get food out of the kitchen, or to tolerate the drunken, swear riddled behavior of the kitchen staff. One would wonder at the motives of the house putting a 'drinks for the kitchen' suggestion on the menu.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. —ASIS International has announced its 2014 Accolades Award winners to recognize the security industry's most innovative new products, services and solutions.
When people think about green building, it's a safe bet that energy-efficient access control isn't the first thing that comes to mind. However, in the effort to make facilities as green as possible, every single area where energy can be conserved must be addressed— and that includes a building's access control system.
As a security director you're aware that every other aspect of building construction is becoming greener—lighting, HVAC systems, insulation and windows to name a few examples. Now it's time for security systems to catch up. This is especially true in light of the fact that environmentally friendly building is becoming a mandated necessity.
Whether you're upgrading an existing system or installing a new one, what factors are involved and what questions should you be asking?
Power Consumption and EPDs
Regardless of device, whether it's an electronic lock, request-to-exit (REX) sensor, electric strike or other hardware, a fundamental consideration is the amount of power the device uses. When evaluating different products, be sure to ask the integrator or manufacturer to explain the differences in power consumption between different products or technologies.
Keep in mind that although one product might cost more than another out of the box, the initial difference in cost between the two might become insignificant when comparing the overall difference in life cycle cost over a 30-year period and how much energy each product consumes. On the other hand, long-term product costs or savings can differ dramatically. For example, one mortise lock on the market is up to 96 percent more energy-efficient than other types and uses about 0.24 watts of power compared to about 6 watts for older solenoid types. It also requires fewer power supplies in a given installation and generates less heat, further reducing energy consumption. At 10 cents per kilowatt-hour in a facility with 1,000 doors that adds up to more than $5,000 in annual savings.
Another indicator of an electronic access control product's environmental impact is its Environmental Product Declaration, or EPD. An EPD is a verified document that provides information about the environmental impact of a product or system, based on life cycle assessment (LCA) and other relevant information such as manufacturing processes, materials content, energy use and efficiency, and product end of life policies. Information about EPDs including a downloadable product database is available at www.environdec.com. For security directors and anyone involved in green building, the site is an invaluable resource for comparing products.
Standards and Regulatory Requirements
Meeting green building requirements means meeting federal, state and local regulations, which are becoming more prevalent every year. Many U.S. federal agencies and state and local governments already require or reward LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for projects, and no detail, including more efficient EAC implementation, is too small in working towards LEED and GBI (Green Building Initiative) certification.
Looking at the big picture, the ultimate green goal is to achieve a "net zero" building, where the total amount of energy a building uses is equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site. To name one particularly urgent example: Executive Order 13514 mandates that at least 15 percent of existing federal buildings and leases meet Energy Efficiency Guiding Principles by 2015 with a goal of all new federal buildings achieving net zero status by 2030.
The more you are on top of these standards and requirements, the better prepared you'll be to meet current and future mandates.
Make The Most of What You Have—But Look For Improvement
When was the last time you updated or even looked at your current system's access control specifications? Now is the time to review your existing installation from top to bottom. There's a strong possibility that you can get greater efficiency out of every element of your security system, from reducing thermal and air leakage by implementing better control of door openings to making better use of Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity, which uses less energy than conventional wired connections.
Even if you've updated your specification within the last year, you should still reevaluate it now, since developments in green access control are changing rapidly. If you don't look at what's going on in the industry right now, you could be missing out on opportunities for significant energy—and cost—savings.
While the need for more energy-efficient access control is more compelling than ever, never compromise the integrity of your security system in the quest to go green. In truth, today's green security products and top performance go hand in hand, and you can have both. To accomplish this goal, it's essential to team with an integrator who is on top of the latest developments in green access control, understands how access control interfaces with other aspects of a building's IT, HVAC and other systems – and above all, is there to help security directors like yourself achieve greater overall energy efficiency in your facility.

YARMOUTH, Maine—Online wireless locks are making inroads in the security industry, particularly on the perimeters of large buildings with hundreds of doors inside.
BOSTON—This year's Security Surveillance and Information Technology Forum is scheduled for April 17 at Boston Common Hotel.
WALLACE, N.C.—A now highly secure rural elementary school here is piloting a program that it hopes will become a model for other schools not only within its district but across the country.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden and DEER PARK, N.Y.—In acquiring Alarm Controls Corp., ASSA ABLOY is gaining a company that has the "ability and willingness to do custom work," said Scott Baker, president of ASSA ABLOY Electro-Mechanical Specialties and OEM Group.
Recent developments in door opening technology have empowered today's security directors to play a neat trick. Walk into a building, any building—a corporate office, a hospital, a school. Now select a door, any door. Look at the assets behind that door. Voila: an opening technology is available to match the exact security risks and needs for that specific door.
This is pretty mind blowing if you think back just a few short years ago when the only options for securing a door—regardless of the assets under protection—were either a relatively expensive hardwired, online access control system or a simple mechanical lock and key. Medium security openings that fell in the middle of this spectrum left security directors with the difficult choice of under-securing or sometimes over-securing and over-paying for a door.
Today, you've got options in this world of 'medium security'. And best of all, especially in our tepid global economic climate, they don't have to cost you a fortune. It's now possible to implement varying degrees of access control at each opening that mesh together and operate seamlessly with the enterprise access control system to create a fully secure facility. All of this is possible thanks to innovation in a place you may not have been expecting it: the humble lock.
To understand the capabilities of this new class of locks, it's helpful to look to the past. For years, traditional access control systems consisted of a host computer connected to controllers that connected to electrified locking hardware. The host computer, usually located in a security office, serves as the brains of the system and links to the controllers through long runs of wiring often dedicated to the security system. Additional runs of proprietary wiring then connect a controller with hardware components on multiple doorways.
Lock manufacturers originally offered an alternative in the form of a PDA programmed lock. Sure, these locks were relatively inexpensive, but generally required proprietary lock software and lots of 'sneaker power', as guards had to run from door to door to get transactions or change access rights.
Technology marched on and wireless technologies enabled locks to communicate with panels wirelessly, which brought many of the features of online access control to a lower cost than a wired opening. Not only were these 'wire free' openings less expensive to deploy, they can work with the same enterprise access control software that manages the online wired openings. Some of the savings come from fewer wire runs to the door, and other savings come from the integrated designs of locks where readers, REX, DPS and locking devices were integrated into a single device with about an hour of installation.
The next evolution was to tie locks into the existing IP network infrastructure to lower cost even further by avoiding the need for proprietary hubs and access control panels. Using smarter locks (essentially the panel is in the lock) and standard Wi-Fi access points, access control can be added for roughly 50% of the cost of wired access control per opening. Other variations use the same IP-based technology as your VOIP phone. Power Over Ethernet locks give end users full, real-time access control with all the same features you get with traditional access control for about 75% of the cost and you still get to control the lock from your favorite enterprise access control system.
Of course, not every opening requires the level of security delivered by online connectivity. But there may still be a desire to frequently change access rights, control the hour each person can access the door and/or track the door access history.
The least disruptive way to achieve this level of offline access control is with an electronic cylinder that fits directly into the existing lock. The cylinder can be programmed to allow access only to specific key holders and can be interrogated to determine who opened a door and at what time. If key control is compromised by a lost or stolen key, the cylinder can be reprogrammed to shut out that missing key. This eliminates the need for replacing cylinders or reissuing keys to a large-scale building population. Electronic cylinders can be used in a very wide variety of applications including cylinders, cam locks, cabinet locks and padlocks.
Keypad locks also fit into the category of offline access control. Like electronic cylinders, keypad locks can be re-keyed electronically. Codes can be changed on the fly if there are any concerns about who has access to different areas of a building. Keypads also have a convenience benefit; not all applications require a key. If the primary concern is controlling traffic to a particular area—say a bathroom door in a commercial building—it may be inconvenient to keep issuing keys to people coming in and out of that building. However, a code can be issued that provides a low-level, but more convenient type of security.
The available options for controlling access to medium security doors is at an all time high. By combining components, leveraging existing network infrastructure, and emphasizing convenience features, modern technology has created a much broader set of products than $300 mechanical locks or $3,000 online access-controlled openings. This allows for the selection of the right product to provide the right level of security within a given budget.

Curtains are of great quality. Hung these in my sunroom and guests always comment on how great the curtains look. Really makes the sunroom look so relaxing.
Bought this for my covered deck. Very good quality at a reasonable price.
I returned the curtains. Not what I expected. Still waiting for credit
These drapes are perfect for my outdoor patio where I receive all day sun as well as providing privacy. I can even sit out in a rain storm now as they block the wind and moisture. VERY pleased.
These curtains are exactly as described and exactly what I needed. They are heavy enough to withstand the wind. I thought I would need to add weights to the bottom of curtain but weights are not needed. They provide total privacy.

The tables are set with beautiful plates and tableware, it is an exclusive secluded place with the best food. The menu varies and it is not a trendy place but for a glorious dinner at an impeccable place it is ideal.
This restaurant was recommended by our hotel. Yes, it has nice ambiance and very good service. However, the food falls under the category of "wannabe". The menu has the intention of presenting exquisite dishes, but the delivery is slightly disappointing. This would not have been too bad if it was reasonably priced, but that wasn't the case! The prices are...
The place is beautiful and the service was very good. However, despite the pretty display of each plate, the food was awful. We ate chicken with a honey/seed concoction that was inedible and hard, as well as a duck plate that was raw and tasteless. We didn't even dare attempt ordering dessert.
I've been going to Floreal for many years.I do have mixed feelings about it.
Some times is very good and some times is just plain good.It is expensive,not a shocker for Punta del Este.
This year the food was good,a little greasy for my taste but I will go back for sure.
The place is nice the lightening perfection,the service...
I like this place better than the majority of the restaurants in PUNTA DEL ESTE. The food and service leaves the completion behind...if you want consistent high quality, then this is the place for you. The bread they serve before the meal is delicious. A TASTY TREAT for the palate.
Wonderful meal. Service is very good and the ambience is pleasant. Unfortunately , as is often the case the lighting is insufficient.
Perhaps it is the best restaurant in Punta del Este but in comparison to the international standards the quality of the food does not justify the prices. It looks more than it is.
The ambient and the service are more than average though.
Excellent food, very nice the decoration.
Calm and romantic
You must go.
Is a traditional restaurant because was open many years ago.
A beautiful restaurant, better for couples.
Tiny portions and really overpriced, was astonished with the prices of the local wines.
Lazy service.
Not worthy.
This restaurant is located at the edge of a residential neighborhood, a hidden gem. The food was excellent and simply prepared and the restaurant itself is a work of art. Handmade lanterns, water features, paintings, antique furnishings. Quiet and low lit, it was a wonderful place to end a hectic day.

The times, they are a-changin' for Irish music enthusiasts and their feet too. When the Pogues emerged from the early-'80s post-punk landscape, most of their fans wore Doc Martens. Some two decades later, though, California's Gaelic Storm dropped its latest album, 2006's Bring Yer Wellies, offering a spirited mix of Celtic folk and world music as well as a new mandate on footwear (wellies being the rubber boots farmers wear to keep their tootsies dry). The album's full of fiddle-laced jigs, string-heavy ballads, and various tales of life in the Emerald Isle, such as "Never Drink 'Em Dry (Johnny Tarr's Funeral)," a feisty narrative about a dead boozer. And though it's been ten years, the band's still proud of its biggest commercial accomplishment a cameo performance in the film Titanic. Now there's a boatload of people who could have used some wellies.
Gaelic Storm performs Saturday, January 20, at the Culture Room, 3045 N. Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale. The show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets cost $10. Call 954-564-1047, or visit www.cultureroom.net.
