Still using the same tipping setup from 2019? Digital payments took over. Customers are over it. Staff want stability. But most bars are stuck in limbo, afraid to switch, too drained to rethink. Here's the hard truth:Less than 1% of bars run no-tipping models. Not because it doesn't work, but because it's hard to pull off without a plan. Meanwhile, tipping fatigue is rising, tip amounts are dropping, and your POS is nudging people into resentment.If your staff is confused and your guests are annoyed, this is your wake-up call.Tap in before the shift leaves you behind.

Running a bar without AI is like competing with chains using paper and pencil. Big brands spend millions on tech to shave a few points off costs. Independents can't do that, but AI now delivers the same advantages at a fraction of the cost. Bar owners lose hours every week on scheduling, inventory, and marketing. That's time that should go to guests. AI won't replace hospitality, it frees you to focus on it. That's why savvy operators are paying attention. With the right setup, AI can reclaim 10 to 20 hours a week, cut expenses, and transform how independents run their bars. Learn how to make AI your collaborator, not your substitute, with practical tools you can use today.
To run a bar without the vision for Gen Z would be to develop a menu blindly. They spend less than Millennials did, yet spend when they do buy. They consult their phone on TikTok rather than Google. And when their discretionary spend comes in at $450 billion, they're quickly becoming the generation that makes or breaks your bar. That's why forward-thinking bar owners are listening. Gen Z isn't just another clientele group, they're redefining the economics, culture, and brand of nightlife. Learn what makes Gen Z tick, and discover how to create an experience that draws them in, wins their trust, and brings them back.

Having a bar with no sense of identity is running darts with eyes closed.You might hit the drinks, menu, even the venue itself, but it is only a building with booze within without culture.That's why successful bars design everything around a solid, authentic identity. An identity that speaks to their community, entices the proper guests and employees, and automatically influences decisions without micromanaging.Today on this show, I'm going to reveal to you how to generate that type of culture where your bar becomes a place to belong rather than to drink at.The outcome: rather than compete on price or follow trends, you'll create a stand-out business that scales with reliability and endures.
Slow nights followed by slammed weekends can make running a bar feel unpredictable. But those swings aren't random. They're seasonal patterns hiding in your sales data.Miss them and you'll end up overstaffed on quiet nights, scrambling on busy ones, and sitting on inventory nobody's ordering. In this episode, I'll show you how to spot those patterns, plan around them, and actually use them to your advantage.The result: instead of guessing your way through the year, you'll have a clear plan that keeps your team balanced, your costs tight, and your profits steady no matter the season.
