Our Founder's Vision
Founded in London in 2020 by hospitality expert Paolo Foschi, BAR LAB+ is built on a foundation of elite mixology, operational excellence, and passion. Before launching BAR LAB+, Paolo spent over a decade running some of London's most prominent cocktail venues, including managing operations at Be At One (Covent Garden & Putney), Marylebone Leisure Group (Soho & Clerkenwell), and All Bar One Canary Wharf. As a former instructor at the European Bartender School in London, Paolo has trained hundreds of professional bartenders, bringing world-class educational standards to our team.
With certifications from A.I.B.E.S. and Planet One Bartender School, along with advanced credentials in sales strategies, customer management, and videography, Paolo approaches event catering with a meticulous operational eye. Today, BAR LAB+ delivers premium mobile bar packages, expert bartender training courses, and professional bar operations consulting across London and nationwide.

Our Three Pillars
1. Premium Event Catering: We provide turnkey mobile bars, custom-built backbars, and elite mixologists. Our signature cocktails utilize custom recipe balances, fresh botanical reductions, and precise dilution curves to match premium lounge standards.
2. Bartender Academy: Led by our training modules, we develop professional bartenders. From essential technical speed builds and dual-pouring workshops to advanced customer care, our graduates excel behind high-volume bars.
3. Operations Consulting: We audit existing bar businesses, restaurant operations, and concepts. We analyze menus, waste percentages, and backbar ergonomics to increase speed-of-service and boost beverage margins by up to 25%.
