About Bar & Beverage Consultancy
What Drives Us
For me, a bar is more than what’s poured into a glass. It’s about the vibe, the emotions, and those little moments that guests remember long after. I get that drinks alone don’t make a bar - it’s the whole experience.
How We Take Your Bar Next Level
I’m all about systems that keep your cocktails consistent, even when you’re not there. No guesswork. Just reliable, tasty drinks every time. I help push you from “just mixing” to running a bar that’s profitable and totally dialed-in.
What We Do
- Bar menu engineering: I design and revamp menus so they’re not just creative, but actually profitable. From classic cocktails to ones with smoke or foams, I love using local Indian ingredients to give an international twist.
- Mixology staff training: Your crew matters. I help you hire, then train bartenders so they follow recipes to the dot and deliver a smooth guest experience.
- Bar setup & workflow: Whether you’re starting fresh or fixing what’s there, I consult on layout and operations so your bar is easy to work, not just nice to look at.
- Beverage program development & RTD consulting: Got ideas for new drinks or want to crack the Ready-to-Drink market? I’m in.
What You Get
I write clear SOPs, train your team, and build systems so your bar runs steady. Consistency is king - that’s what I chase. And if you ever hear me say “Aap chinta mat kariye,” (don’t worry) I mean it. We’ll get it done, together.

My Story
I’m Raaj Negi, and for me, bartending is pure art. It’s not just mixing drinks, it’s crafting memories in every glass. My team and I believe the bar is all about emotions - not just booze. I’m obsessed with getting every detail right, so even if I’m not there, the experience stays top notch. Bar aisa lagao ki 400 baraati bole, ‘Maza aa gaya’ (Set up a bar so 400 guests say, ‘Loved it!’).
