If you’re familiar with the Malaysian cocktail bar scene, you would have noticed that there has been quite a number of “guest shifts” happening in numerous bars lately. But what are these guest shifts and why has there been such an influx of them lately?
A guest shift essentially means that that particular bar is hosting a guest bartender who will be taking over the bar for the night, and serving his or her own drinks there. This can either be a bartender from a different bar (local or foreign), a brand ambassador of a particular brand, or even someone who isn’t even a bartender in the first place.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
