🌟 Tipping Etiquette 101 🌟

Tipping culture can be confusing and has burned many people in the past. But did you know that tipping your catering staff and bartenders is still crucial for ensuring you get the best service? 🤔✨

In our latest blog post, we explore why tipping matters, especially at an open bar where drinks are free. The best professionals often turn down gigs that don’t allow for tips, so showing appreciation can make a significant difference in the service you receive. 💼🍹

Planning your Corporate Holiday Party in DC? 🎉 Don’t let your event get derailed by unlicensed bar service! 🚫

At On The Fly Tapsters, we receive calls nearly every week from event organizers who’ve hired unlicensed mobile bars, only to find themselves in a desperate race to hire a legal service in time for their event. The truth is, many mobile bartenders operate illegally in Washington, DC, putting your event at serious risk.

Did you know that it’s illegal for mobile bars to serve alcohol at your event unless they are ABRA licensed or you’ve applied for a one-day event license through ABRA? Don’t gamble with your event’s success or your peace of mind.

We’re fully ABRA licensed and in full compliance with DC laws, ensuring that your event is safe, legal, and unforgettable.

Blue is the new green! We love our new .products straws! Unlike bio plastics, these straws do not require commercial composting! No special facilities! They are completely marine and land biodegradable. Did you know most commercially compostable bio plastics end up in the landfill and they have the potential to produce more green house gasses than regular plastic! Not so environmentally friendly now are they! Bio plastics cannot be recycled and many locations do not have the commercial composting facilities to properly compost them, so the bio plastics end up in the landfill. Choose .products for next event. Now if they would just launch a line of cocktail cups we would be set, hint hint!
