What is the Speed Rail?

• A. A long stainless steel shelf at the front of the bar containing the most commonly ordered liquors
• B. A device for shaking cocktails
• C. A display case for wine behind the bar
• D. A back-of-house storage cabinet

Answer: (A)

Speed rail is a long stainless steel shelf or rail mounted along the front of the bar that holds the bottles you use most often for quick access. Keeping the most commonly ordered liquors within reach speeds up service because you can grab the right bottle quickly without searching or reaching into back stock. It’s not a shaker, not a display case for wine behind the bar, and not storage in the back room—the idea is fast, efficient access to the ingredients you use most.
