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?

Yeah, that’s a constant struggle in busy bars. The trick is using the right setup. A big one is having proper drainage surfaces instead of constantly wiping down spills. A good option is commercial bar mat solutions—they keep bottles and glasses from sitting in pools of liquid, plus they help prevent breakage. Also, having a clear system for where everything goes behind the bar makes a huge difference. If everything has a dedicated space, it’s easier to reset quickly between customers.
