Vespera: Barcraft

Train the craft of working a bar: a shift simulator with a scored debrief, spaced-repetition drills, and a recipe library. Free.

Vespera trains the craft of working a bar.

Its heart is a shift simulator: tickets arrive, guests wait, stock runs out, and someone has had enough. You choose what to do next, every choice costs time, and the debrief afterwards scores seven dimensions of the work accuracy, efficiency, prioritisation, communication, station management, responsible service, and recovery explaining every score against what actually happened.

Around the simulator: a structured curriculum from first principles to working a rush, knowledge checks and drills with spaced repetition, a recipe library built for training rather than browsing, and a competency profile that shows where you actually stand.

Sixty authored shift scenarios. Forty-four recipes with honest provenance. Responsible service taught as a working skill observation, the hold, the refusal that keeps its shape never as a disclaimer page.

Vespera is honest about what it is: training, not certification. It never judges whether a real person is intoxicated or safe to drive, and venue policy and local law always come first. Everything runs on your device no account, no ads, no tracking, and it works in airplane mode.

Version 1.0 includes every feature, free. Training content in this version was written by the Vespera team and is undergoing external professional review; content that review changes will be updated.
