Background & Objectives
Hilton maintains a stringent approach to bartending rooted in hospitality excellence, guest experience, and operational precision. With properties across the globe, the company needed a universal training program capable of teaching both the how and the why of Hilton’s bar standards.
​
The objectives were direct: develop training content that was visually instructive, operationally precise, intuitive for international learners, and fully aligned with Hilton’s brand. The new system would function as an internal benchmark for all bartenders, supporting onboarding, refresher training, and long-term quality control.
Our Role
MAXMedia Partners was contracted to script, shoot, and produce the full training library. We approached the project as both a creative and instructional exercise—building modules that demonstrated exact techniques while reinforcing Hilton’s philosophy on service, presentation, and workflow.
​
Each video was designed to demystify bar operations through clean visuals, deliberate pacing, and step-by-step instructional framing. The content emphasized accuracy, consistency, and the rationale behind Hilton’s methodology.
