re: Buy the Kitchen a Beer?

Printed on a menu is an absolutely terrible idea. So you’re documenting for everyone that you allow kitchen employees to drink on the job? Yeah, sure, it may be tolerated as acceptable behavior, but to document in writing that management encourages alcohol consumption in a kitchen is a plaintiff attorney’s dream. We’ve just spent the last year reading about bad behavior in kitchens, esp alcohol fueled bad behavior.
When a regular patron wants to recognize the kitchen staff, that’s an organic, honest gesture. When it rises to the level of menu endorsement, it’s 1)opening up the establishment to liability on a variety of fronts and 2)just in really poor taste. While I don’t want a return to mid-century, faux-Continental stodginess in restaurants, I’m also so-over the “bro” foolishness that’s abounded recently. I don’t want to buy your employees a beer, I don’t want to shout over the manager’s favorite mixtape of EDM remixes of classic rock...oh, now I gotta go start a threat of “what annoys me lately about restaurants”. Thx.

Cool concept for open kitchens, $24 is a ripoff. $6-8 seems more appropriate.

Oh please.
Dream this attorney. I gave them the beer after the shift was over.

Unless youre talking about a bar where the employees are just being silly, ive never been to a sit down restaurant where the manager just starts playing shite like that

Let’s get 10-15 big spenders together and hit this place early in the evening. All of them buy a round and the kitchen is shitfaced by 6PM.

...just because you buy it for them doesn't mean they consume it at that moment. Perhaps they have it as a shift drink when they get off. But you get'em, Marcia Clark.

I've seen it on a menu for like $1 but not for 24
That's shady
I'd consider it if it got me more raffle tickets

I hear they take the booze but don't do you any favors. At least the OP got some bomb arse tacos out of it.

I've seen it at a few places, but never as high as $24. We actually did it once at a restaurant. It was around $10, and the kitchen ended up sending us a bunch of new apps they were trying out for their new menu. We never even ordered an entree they sent so many apps out.

So will YOU share that recipe, Martini?

Only if you buy him a beer.

If I want to buy the kitchen a beer, I will.
Asking for it on the menu is poor taste.
