Ep 220 - Creating a legacy to be proud of in the bar industry with Emma Ramos and Darren Leaney from Home Grown

Batched Cocktails are starting to break through in the on-prem market in Australia. There are so many exciting and unique products that are coming through the market, so it was great to sit down with two of the leaders in the bar industry who both have amazing careers that so many can learn from.

We talk about Emma and Darren’s career in the industry and their fantastic work at one of the leaders in this space, Home Grown Drinks.

In this podcast we discuss:

-How they both started in the industry, and why they chose the bar industry over another sector.

-With so much conversation about automation in many parts of the industry, why the bar sector has been one of the last to embrace batched cocktails and other forms of automation.

-With the bar scene having late nights, challenging customers, and loud environments, their opinion on why someone wants to join the industry now.

-What legacy they are both trying to leave the industry.
