Postseason Baseball and your restaurant experience.

They have so much to do with each other you wouldn't even believe it. Even if you are not a fan of sports I guarantee you know what playoffs are, and if you've lived in St. Louis for any number of years you know that October is usually red. Last year, working in a bar and grill during playoffs was one of the coolest experiences of my time waiting tables. The atmosphere in a crowded bar with cheap beer and limited space during playoff baseball is like no other, and if you have yet to experience it, I recommend you go give it a try because you may just love it. The camaraderie among a crowd of people based on what kind of t shirt each is wearing is intense. The crowd lives and dies on every pitch, and the electricity when something goes right for the home team can only be rivaled by being at the game itself. For the restaurant this means an obvious boost through the roof on liquor and food sales, and working at a martini bar and grill this year with five televisions and a speaker system that travels to the patio. The sky Is the limit for how much money I can rake in, because when every customer sees red this month, I will be seeing green.
