Ice & Alchemy
We bring real, long-term success to your business by providing exceptional menus, in-depth training, cost control strategies, and clear systems and documents to fit any budget. We are in communication every step of the way throughout the process. Our order guides, inventory sheets, cost analysis, training materials, and illustrated 80-page bar book* lay the foundation for your unique bar.
The first thing we want to do is understand your vision so that we can provide the best solution. While every project is incredibly unique, we have found that most consultations fit within three broad categories: menu services (Core Consultation), Full Consultation services, and Ongoing/Seasonal services. Read more about each of these, below.
Our Core Consultation is a value-packed, accessible menu development option for any bar or restaurant looking to launch or elevate their cocktails. It's perfect for the establishment that already has space and staff in place but wants a wow-factor, delicious menu for their staff to serve. This streamlined menu development service costs less than a Full Consultation and provides you with the recipes, order guides and training materials (documents AND videos) to launch your new menu for any concept, anywhere in the United States.

A Full Consultation is a much more hands-on approach and is the perfect option for the client who is opening a new bar/restaurant or making a big shift in their existing bar experience. Ice & Alchemy will be on-site guiding your launch every step of the pre-launch, launch, and post-launch phases.

It's important to keep innovating and surprising guests with new offerings while providing real-time solutions as the market pivots. Clients often ask for us to return with fresh, new cocktail recipes and presentations for their evolving menus. We believe in the ongoing development of staff member which is why we provide continual training and tests to assess staff. Our Ongoing/Seasonal services can be tailored to your exact needs and frequency of updates.

"What if I'm on a tight
timeline or budget?"
Just because you might be on a tight timeline or budget doesn't mean you shouldn't have access to top-notch services. Ice & Alchemy has created an adaptable Core Consultation package that includes everything needed to launch an outstanding menu with valuable training materials.
"How much does an Ice & Alchemy Consultation Cost?"
Core Consultations are the most affordable option due to their streamlined nature. The exact price will vary based on the number of cocktails you request and if you decide to add any additional materials/services to your proposal. Reach out! We're sure you'll love everything that's included at such an affordable price.
Costs for Full Consultations typically hinge on three main elements: the services requested; the type and number of cocktails; and the number of staff members to be trained. These elements help determine how many hours will be needed to develop recipes, source all necessary items, create systems, documents, train staff, launch, provide post-launch support, and any other requests you request. Existing restaurants/bars typically have a lighter scope of work than a full build-out. We will cover these parameters during our discovery call and promptly send the custom proposal which can be fine-tuned as needed to fit your goals, timeframe, and budget so that it works for everyone.
