Do you need electricity?

For the smooth operation of our mobile bar service, access to electricity is indeed necessary. However, we understand that not all event locations have readily available electrical outlets. To accommodate such situations, Olive or Twist is fully equipped with our own generator. This means we can bring our own power source to ensure that our services run uninterrupted, regardless of your event's location. Our generator is capable of powering our bar setup efficiently, allowing us to offer a seamless experience without any compromise on quality or service. Rest assured, we take every step to ensure our setup process is as convenient and unobtrusive as possible, so you and your guests can enjoy the event without any concerns.

Who provides the alcohol for my event?

The provision of alcohol for your event is flexible and can be tailored to your specific needs. In some instances, clients choose to supply their own alcohol, which allows them to handpick their preferred brands and types of beverages. This option can be particularly appealing for those looking to customize their event or potentially manage costs more directly. Alternatively, Olive or Twist offers a comprehensive service where we can procure the alcohol on your behalf. Our experienced team can work with you to curate a selection that perfectly matches your event's theme, your personal preferences, and the tastes of your guests. We have relationships with suppliers to ensure a wide variety of high-quality options, from classic favorites to unique, artisanal choices. Whichever route you decide to take, we're here to provide guidance and support to make sure your bar service is nothing short of spectacular. Please let us know your preference, and we'll take care of the rest, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for you and your guests.

How does a cash bar work?

A cash bar setup with Olive or Twist means that guests are responsible for purchasing their own drinks during the event. This option is ideal for hosts who prefer to provide guests with the flexibility to choose and pay for their beverages. However, to ensure this service aligns with local regulations, we require approximately 60 days' notice prior to your event to apply for the necessary licenses and permits. Once approved, we offer a seamless and convenient experience for your guests. They can pay for their drinks using cash, card, or even through Tap to Pay options like Apple Pay and Google Pay, ensuring a quick and easy transaction process. Our aim is to make the bar experience as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible, both for you and your guests. This setup not only adheres to legal requirements but also adds an element of convenience and modern payment solutions to cater to everyone's needs.
