Roll Bags – Product Features & User Needs

Variety of Slots and Pockets

Good size holding up to 21 tools. Flexible to accommodate a range of tools needed for different events’ menus. Universal slots mean tools can be packed away quickly after a busy shift.

Wipe-clean Leather and Waxed Canvas

Durable and easy to clean fabrics because events often have no running water.

Design details, UK-made, Bonzer® Brand

Combines fashion and style with ease of use and durability. UK made in high quality materials.

No Open Ends, Adjustable Cross Body Strap

Easy to travel with, whilst having other luggage as spirits, syrups and bulkier items go in a backpack. Tools need to be held securely inside the roll so that they don’t fall out in the street or at the airport getting damaged, lost or delaying travel.

Aprons – Product Features & User Needs

Adjustable neck strap. Long waist straps to fit many body shapes.

Comfortable to wear both when moving a lot during the shift and when kneel down whilst restocking.

Bib style, below knee length.

Protection from the wet surfaces and spillages in an often limited space behind the bar.

Water and dirt repellent, wipe clean materials. Gain character with use.

The bartender needs the fabrics to be durable and low maintenance because they are busy and working very late shifts which means they would hate to have to wash the apron frequently but still need to ensure he presents best appearance to the customers.

3 Pockets and a Utility Loop.

Bartenders need large, secure and versatile pockets to hold tools because they work in a fast-pace environment.
