The Alchemist is in
Your best bartender, working every seat in the house. At once.
Bula Base puts a guided quiz on every table and turns it into a recommendation, an offer, and a lead you own. One bar. One week. 51 leads, $0 ad spend — that’s every number we have, and we’ll show you exactly how we got them.
01 · How it works — try it
Try the quiz your guests get.
“Three questions is the whole trick. Sit down — I’ll show you.”

03 · Your palate
✦ The Alchemist’s recommendation
At the bar this arrives with a Show & Go offer attached — and the guest who tapped it is now a name you own. Every seat runs this at once.
02 · The Tuesday problem
You know your Friday number. You don’t know a single new name in it.
Every new face leaves a stranger. No name, no number, no reason to come back. Your regulars you know — it’s everyone else who walks out unknown.
So Tuesday comes and you’re laboring over another social post to fire off into the void — at people who have never once walked in.
You can’t tell which bartender builds regulars and which one just pours.
And yes — the bar is three-deep and the next new face is asking “so what’s the difference between the red and the green?”
03 · Pick your seat
The story changes with your scale. The mechanism doesn’t.
“I know how Bula Base works. Tell me how your bar works.”
— The Alchemist
“Friday takes care of itself. Tuesday is the one that hurts. Every guest who sits down tells me who they are — that’s the list that fills Tuesday.”
What you get
- A list you own Every quiz is a name and a preference, captured with consent, from people already in your room. Not rented from Facebook. Not locked in someone else’s platform. Yours.
- Guests who sort themselves They didn’t pick a flavor profile. They told you they’re stressed, or celebrating, or here after work — in their own words, at the table.
- Your data, not Facebook’s Who came in, what they wanted, what they were poured. Yours to keep, search, and win back.
- Which bartender actually captures The kiosk records who was on when a guest signs up, and ranks them. You find out who builds your list and who lets it walk out. No chatbot can tell you that.
- Offers that ride along Every recommendation carries a Show & Go offer, and every redemption is logged against the guest who took it. Put your premium shelf on the chip and it gets pitched at the table — not by a bartender who’s out of seconds.

Let’s talk about my Tuesday →“You can’t clone yourself. You can clone the way your best bar sells.”
The expansion problem
- You can’t be behind three bars at once — and the bar you’re not at drifts.
- Training a new bartender to recommend well takes weeks, and turnover resets it.
- Margin leaks quietly: the new spot pushes what’s easy, not what converts.
- Three locations, three POS exports, zero unified picture of what’s actually working.
What you get
- Consistency across locations Every bar recommends like your best bar. The guest experience stops depending on who’s on shift.
- Training data, not vibes Leads by bartender make coaching concrete. New hires see what good looks like from day one.
- Margin visibility Which recommendations convert — so your menu and offers follow the data, not the default.
- No per-location licensing surcharge Growth doesn’t get taxed. Adding a bar adds capability, not a penalty line.
Per-location pricing once you’re past the first bar We’ll walk the math on a call.
Let’s talk about scaling →“At your scale it isn’t a widget. It’s the training system that clones your best bartender’s judgment into every room you operate.”
The scale problem
- Manual training doesn’t clone. Your best bartender’s judgment dies at the property line.
- Every location decision needs ROI math — per bar, not portfolio hand-waving.
- Guest data is scattered across POS systems and third-party platforms that own it, not you.
- Consistency at scale is the whole brand — and it’s the first thing that slips.
What you get
- A training system that clones Your best bartender’s approach, everywhere at once. New locations open at full recommendation quality.
- ROI visibility per location Leads, conversions, and Show & Go redemptions by bar — expansion decisions backed by unit-level numbers.
- Data ownership, full stop Your guests, your history, your export. Build the chain on an asset you own.
Per-location structure Build your own chain. Keep your own data. Bring your location count — we’ll bring the math.

04 · The pilot — real numbers
One bar. One week. Real numbers.
Bula Base ran a one-week pilot at a working kava bar — Shanti, St. Augustine. The pilot is complete; no bar is running it today. The numbers it left behind are real, and they’re the only ones on this page:
Same bartender, same shifts, same crowd. The only thing that changed was the Alchemist working the tables with her.
And the product that did it isn’t a deck. It’s built, deployed, and running:
- Guest quiz kioskFrequency → Intention → Palate, on the tablet at the seat.
- Recommendation engine with offersEvery pick carries a reason and a Show & Go offer.
- Lead capture with consent recordsNames and preferences, gathered properly.
- Admin dashboardLeads by bartender, by day, by recommendation.
- A live menu97 real items on the deployed instance — not lorem ipsum.
The proof is one bar deep.
Shanti, one week — the numbers above. No testimonial wall: we haven’t earned one. And a logo from a bar you’ve never seen us work in wouldn’t prove anything if we had.
“When we have your numbers, they’ll be real ones too.”
