This is the place for fun and profitable ideas and discussions on the bar, restaurant, nightclub, food and beverage businesses. TIM BORDEN
I am a hospitality industry consultant who has been a key player in the development and marketing of more than 40 bars, restaurants and nightclubs, as well as event marketing for more than 50 client beverage brands.

Our government needs to step up."

"Imagine that the groceries that you have are covered with some glitter," VanWingen said. "And your goal at the end of this is to not have any glitter in your house, on your hands, or especially on your face. And imagine that disinfectants and soap, they have the power to dissolve that glitter."
