Upselling Without Pressure

The Mindset Shift

Do not think of upselling as pushing — think of it as guiding. You have knowledge the guest does not.

Natural Upsell Moments

When they order a well spirit: Just so you know, for $3 more I can do a premium spirit — it makes a noticeable difference.

What Not to Do

Do not push if they have said no once

Do not mention price first

Do not upsell to someone who is being cut off
