Drinks consulting · Perth & regional WA
Menus, costings, batching and staff training for bars, pubs, breweries, wineries and hotels. Operator-level know-how, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Who we are
Shaken or Stirred by MT is a Perth drinks consultancy founded by Mickey Thukral. Mickey brings more than 13 years of hospitality leadership across luxury hotels and independent venues, including Head of F&B pre-opening experience.
We work the way good venues do: practical, on the floor, and with an eye on the numbers. You get a programme your team can actually run on a busy Saturday, not a binder that sits in the office.
One-off services · quoted per venue
Every job is scoped to your venue and priced to pay for itself. A well-costed drinks list usually earns its fee back within the first month of trade.
$1,200 – $2,800
A custom cocktail list built around your concept, your price point and what your team can execute at speed, with build guides and garnish notes handed over to your staff.
Lifts spend per head and cuts training time.
$500 – $1,400
Drink-by-drink cost analysis, GP targets, pour cost benchmarking and pricing recommendations.
Most venues find GP leaking they did not know about.
$900 – $2,000
A batching programme built around your stock, dilution and shelf life, with a full handover to your team.
Much less time behind the bar per drink in service.
$500 – $2,000
A list matched to your food and price point, with by-the-glass selection, tasting notes and a clear markup structure.
Better wine sales from a list staff can sell.
$1,800 – $3,500
End-to-end design of a draught cocktail programme: product selection, keg and line setup, and staff training.
Cocktails poured in seconds, the same every time.
$500 – $1,200
Hands-on training in product knowledge, cocktail execution, upselling and responsible service of alcohol.
One extra upsell per table soon covers it.
$5,000 – $12,000
A complete drinks programme built from scratch: concept, supplier onboarding, menu design, costing and opening-ready staff training.
Getting it right before you open costs a fraction of fixing it three months in.
One-off services · quoted per venue
The same operator rigour, applied to the pass. Menus built to sell, dishes built to repeat, and a kitchen that runs to time.
$800 – $2,000
A menu built for your concept and price point, balanced across sections, prep load and ticket times.
$600 – $1,800
Every dish documented for your kitchen with yields, method, plating and allergen notes, so it comes out the same from any chef on the line.
$500 – $1,400
Dish-by-dish costing, food cost percentages and pricing advice, benchmarked against your target GP.
$700 – $1,600
Prep flow, par levels, ordering systems and supplier onboarding built around how your kitchen really runs.
Ongoing support
A one-off project fixes a problem. A retainer keeps the whole programme profitable, without the cost of a full-time beverage or F&B manager.

How we work
We come to your venue, watch a service, look at the numbers and talk to the team.
We design the menu, costings, batches or systems around your space, your stock and your crowd.
We run it with your staff, taste, time it and tweak until it pours fast and holds its margin.
Your team gets the training and documents to run it without us. We stay a phone call away.
Who it is for
From a small bar in Leederville to a winery in the South West, if you pour drinks for a living, we can help.
