Daily Happy Hour is a standing bar offer at ONDA Boquete that gives guests an easy, low-commitment reason to come down, grab a drink, and spend time in the bar. For volunteers, it is a simple but useful thing to know because it helps you recommend the bar naturally during the day and early evening.

Purpose

Daily Happy Hour exists to:

• drive bar traffic
• give guests a clear, easy on-site drink option
• help create energy in the bar before evening programming
• give volunteers a simple offer they can mention in conversation

The guest service team / bartenders own the offer operationally. Volunteers do not run it or sell it, but they should know it well enough to explain it clearly.

Offer details

What guests should be told

• Daily Happy Hour includes:

  • Balboa for $2
  • Corona for $3
  • Any glass of wine for $3.50
• Guests order through the bar team
• This is the regular Happy Hour offer
• On Wednesdays, this same deal becomes Extended Happy Hour from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. with free popcorn

How volunteers should talk about it

• “We have daily Happy Hour at the bar.”
• “Balboa is $2, Corona is $3, and any wine glass is $3.50.”
• “If you want a drink before the evening activity, that’s a good time to head down.”

When to mention it

Volunteers should mention Daily Happy Hour when:

• guests ask where to eat or drink on-site
• guests are hanging around before evening activities
• guests want a casual social option
• you are helping build turnout in the bar

Common points of confusion

• Guests may think all drinks are discounted
• Guests may confuse Daily Happy Hour with Extended Happy Hour
• Guests may ask whether cocktails are included

The correct explanation:

• only the listed drinks are part of the deal
• Daily Happy Hour is the normal standing offer
• Wednesday has a separate Extended Happy Hour version

What not to do

• Do not say all drinks are included
• Do not invent prices for items outside the deal
• Do not confuse Daily Happy Hour with Wednesday’s Extended Happy Hour
• Do not improvise exceptions or substitutions
• Do not answer detailed bar questions if you are unsure — send guests to the bartenders

What success looks like

• Volunteers can quote the drinks and prices correctly
• Guests understand the offer quickly
• The bar gets natural traffic from volunteer promotion
• Fewer questions come back because the offer was explained clearly
• Guests are directed to the right team for ordering

One-line summary

Daily Happy Hour is a simple standing bar offer that volunteers should know by heart and mention clearly when guiding guests toward the bar.
