I’ve been working in a bar for a while, and keeping the workstation clean during a busy shift feels impossible. No matter how many times I wipe down the counter, it’s always wet, sticky, or cluttered. Are there any practical tricks or must-have tools that help keep things neat without slowing service down?

One thing that helps is training staff to clean as they go. Even small habits, like immediately rinsing a shaker after use or tossing fruit peels in a designated bin, make a bar feel less chaotic during peak hours.
