Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest These are unprecedented times we live in. We’re months into different levels of quarantine and the future still seems uncertain. The F&B industry has been hit especially hard by this, with bars and restaurants closed and unable to operate. Some establishments have started offering cocktails for takeout and delivery, which is a great start, but it’s going to take a while for the industry to recover. DrinkManila has launched #TipYourBartenderPH as a way to help out our local bartending community during these trying times. Every Friday, for #DMHappyHour, we’ll be showcasing a bartender who will share a tasty cocktail recipe that viewers can do at home, as well as promote a small business that they’ve started during the quarantine. People can show their love by supporting the featured bartender’s business and directly sending them a tip via GCash. Here are the requirements and mechanics for bartenders who want to be featured: 1. The participant should be a bartender employed in a bar before the quarantine. 2. They should have a business/side hustle. 3. They must have a GCash account. 4. Create one (1) tasty cocktail that people can easily make at home. Post a picture of the cocktail with the recipe on your social media accounts (Facebook and Instagram) and include tag your business account in your post. Write something about your experience being a bartender during quarantine. 5. Tag @DrinkManila and use the hashtag #TipYourBartenderPH. 6. Chosen participants will be notified through private message. #TipYourBartenderPH is DrinkManila’s way of supporting the community by using our platform to shine the spotlight on some of our local bartenders and giving people the opportunity to support them directly. This is also an avenue for bartenders to continue honing their skills and a space to practice marketing themselves.
