Beverage is an ever-changing market, depending on consumer needs, wants, and the marketing and branding of products. Beverage producers and suppliers work very hard to increase brand and product awareness to increase consumption, loyalty and sales. Producers are forever trying to keep you loyal to their product, introduce newer or more premium products, and/or blended products. Restaurant profits are dependent upon the sales of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, which is why employee training and suggestive selling are critical components of profitability.
