Think cutting labor costs is the only way to keep your bar profitable? I used to believe that too, but I've learned that obsessively cutting labor often hurts your profits instead of helping them.In this episode, I'll show you how investing in your staff through strategic overstaffing and better pay can actually make you MORE money by improving guest experience, reducing turnover, and increasing revenue per customer.

Think your pricing strategy is solid because your drink cost is sitting at 20%? I used to think that too until I realized the standard markup model was leaving serious money on the table. In this episode, I'll walk you through how a few small shifts in pricing psychology can increase your profits without raising prices across the board or scaring off your regulars.
