The countdown is on. The clock is ticking.

So listen up hospitality professionals!  We know you’re creative, we know there is lightbulb moments every day that are occurring in those minds of yours.

This is YOUR chance at multiple grants of up to $20,000 to help support, rebuild and reunite the industry, with an additional option of a $5,000 stock support choice as a grant.

There’s T&C’s… yes, but it doesn’t matter your experience within the industry or how big or how small the idea is. We are ready and listening. And just like Oprah, we have money we want to give away! (*please note we don’t reference ourselves to be Oprah like,  we do wish we could be however. She is a true inspirational legend.)

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

The IDEA LAB is giving away multiple grants of up to $20,000*, as well as the option of applying for $5,000 worth of Beam Suntory stock support.  (We have two (2) of these available!)

Through the IDEA LAB, bartenders are given the opportunity to submit an original idea that is to support their team, venue, or a personal passion project, that may be beyond the bar.

Those who make it to the short-list will be provided support, nurturing, and further education via global and local mentors in 1:1 sessions and group sessions. This support is to ensure you’re not left alone, and to provide a sounding board for the idea to take full flight.
