## Resource

Bartender and James Beard nominee Ivy Leyenda joins Fast Casual Nation to break down whether cocktails belong on the fast casual menu. She talks batching for consistency, realistic price points ($12–$15), why she's skeptical of automated pour systems and pricey mocktails, and which accessible spirit brands can add a "craft" signal without wrecking your pour cost. Plus: a first look at this year's Perfect Pitch competitors ahead of the Fast Casual Executive Summit. #FastCasualNation #BeverageProgram #CocktailMenu #RestaurantIndustry #Mixology #FastCasual #RestaurantOperators #HospitalityBiz Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fast-casual-nation--3598490/support .
