Bottle Openers & Corkscrews | Hospitality Connect

Choosing the Right Bottle Openers & Corkscrews for Your Business

Bottle openers and corkscrews at Hospitality Connect cover 40 products for bars, restaurants and venues. The range includes bottle openers, bar blades, waiter's friend corkscrews, cork extractor bottle openers and other openers, from brands including Zanzi, Chef Inox and Avanti.

Choosing a bottle opener depends on the service style. A bar blade is a flat opener that sits in a pocket or on a belt, so bartenders can open beer and soft drink bottles quickly during busy service. A waiter's friend combines a corkscrew, foil cutter and bottle opener in one folding tool, which suits table wine service. A cork extractor removes corks with less effort, which helps when opening many bottles in a row. Venues serving both beer and wine often keep a corkscrew and bottle opener at every station.

What is a waiters friend?

A waiters friend is a folding corkscrew that combines a worm, a small foil cutter blade and a bottle opener notch in one body. It is the standard tool carried by floor and bar staff, because it opens both corked and crown sealed bottles.

What is a bar blade?

A bar blade is a flat, one piece stainless steel opener for crown seal bottles. It has no moving parts and no corkscrew, so it is fast to use and hard to break, which is why bars keep them at the service point.

What is a cork extractor used for?

A twin prong cork extractor slides two thin blades down between the cork and the bottle neck, then twists the cork out whole. It is used on old, dry or crumbling corks that a standard worm would push through or break apart.

How many bottle openers does a bar need?

Buy for the number of staff who need one on them rather than for the venue. Floor and bar staff each carry a waiters friend, and bar blades are held at each service point, so a busy venue holds several of both.

What is the difference between a corkscrew and a bottle opener?

A corkscrew has a spiral worm that is driven into a cork and levered out, for wine and fortified bottles. A bottle opener uses a lip to prise off a crown seal, for beer, cider and soft drink. Waiters friends combine both.
