Hotels, caterers, events: How does the BiB simplify your beverage logistics?

For hotels, caterers, and event professionals, the BIB simplifies beverage logistics on every front: fewer cartons to handle, less waste to sort, less loss on unconsumed volumes, and smoother service for large tables.

Organizing an event means managing a multitude of logistical details. Wine is one of them—and that is often where hidden costs appear: handling, breakage, waste, waste management. The BIB doesn't solve everything. But it solves a lot.

The problem with bottles in the event industry

A seminar day for 60 people. You plan for 8 bottles of red. Guests drink less than expected — there are 3 open, half-full bottles left. To be thrown away or reclaimed with uncertainty. Multiply this by the frequency of your events and you get an idea of the structural waste.

What the BIB changes operationally

Less handling.

A 5L BIB replaces 6.7 bottles. For 100 people with 60 liters planned: 12 BIBs to manage instead of 80 bottles. The difference in transport, setup, and storage is immediate.

Less waste.

80 empty bottles = 80 glass containers to sort, store, and dispose of. 12 empty BIBs = 12 recyclable cardboard boxes. Less volume, less weight, less noise during cleanup.

Zero breakage.

Glass breaks during setup and during service. A BIB does not break.

Unconsumed volume is recoverable.

An opened BIB can be kept for 4 to 6 weeks. If the event consumes less than expected, you keep the rest for the next one. Impossible with an opened bottle.

Smooth service for large tables.

The tap allows for fast service by waitstaff, without having to uncork and recork dozens of bottles.

Hotels: the most relevant uses

Wine by the glass at the bar or restaurant: long shelf life, controlled cost, consistent quality.
Seminars: wine in BIB on tables starting from lunch — simple, elegant when the wine is well-chosen, economical.
Rooms and suites: some hotels offer a 3L BIB instead of the bottle mini-bar.
Weddings and private events: the 5L is particularly suitable.

Caterers: the BIB as a management tool

For a caterer, managing drinks off-site is often the least optimized part. The BIB changes the equation: you order by the liter with precision, transport is simplified, leftovers are recoverable, and buffet service is made easy — the client serves themselves directly from the tap.
