The Death & Co Standard

For nearly two decades, Death & Co has set the standard for the modern cocktail bar — the team has created award-winning bars in New York, Los Angeles, Denver, Washington DC, Atlanta, Nashville, and Savannah; oversaw Normandie Club, Walker Inn, Honeycut and Nitecap; and authored Death & Co: Modern Classic Cocktails, Death & Co Welcome Home, and the James Beard Award-winning Cocktail Codex.

Death & Co Consulting brings that pedigree to your project: not a general hospitality consultancy, but the team whose name is synonymous with quality cocktails and exceptional experiences.

What We Do

We develop cocktail programs and train the teams that run them. That is the core of what we do — and we do it exceptionally well. Our key services include:

  • Cocktail menu & recipe development
  • Prep systems, specs & costing
  • Bar training & service standards — the Death & Co method
  • Opening & relaunch support
  • Bar systems & operational recommendations
  • One year of Fashioned, our education platform, included
  • Optional immersive training inside a working Death & Co bar

We are cocktail specialists — not architects, OS&E vendors, or general business consultants. When you need those, we will point you to the right partners.

Who It's For

Our services are for serious projects with committed ownership and real timelines: hotels and developers, restaurant and bar groups, private clubs, and operators who want their cocktail program to be a defining part of the guest experience.

We prioritize projects opening within the next six months.

Engagement Types

Three ways to work with us, each scoped to your project:

  • Core Program: Menu development and team training to launch your program.
  • Operational Intensive: Deeper on-site training and operational rigor for new openings and relaunches.
  • Full Advisory: A high-touch, multi-visit partnership for hotels, groups, and flagship projects.

Starting Investment

Engagements begin at $50,000.

Death & Co Consulting is best suited for serious hospitality projects with clear timelines and committed ownership. Every engagement is scoped to the project; travel and materials are billed separately.
