Another video that is absolute gold from Dave! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these. By far the #1 resource for this genre of information!
You are my favorite human on the internet … I’m just saying as a seasoned bartender and wanting to venture out starting my own mobile bartending business - (maybe more) your videos are insightful and rebooting all odd memories of what not to do and how to be the best … thank you for this …
Dave, thanks for your advice. Question- isn’t the profit margin on premium liquor (upsells) often significantly lower than well? Well shots are often 95% profit margin vs 83% for premium because there’s a minimum price for shots, and that profit margin would make a premium shot too expensive for most customers… thanks for your advice sir!
I mean, you first stated not to skimp out on quality. Then dissected the cosmo and made it much worse. They could also be given a deal on that goose citron from their vendors depending on how badly they need to get rid of it since those liquors are rarely ordered these days. I think $12 for a cosmo is pretty fair, and here in Texas that’s considered a pretty great deal if they’re using grey goose and Cointreau. I think if anything keep the Cointreau and just use Tito’s or stoli
Atleast 4 out of 5 will order top shelf liquors when they are asked what kind they want, the few that just want well brands are usually just cheap as hell anyways, and won’t spend much money in the end. I didn’t say all of them before anyone hates on me.😬
Love it, love it, love it ... thank you so much for all the time and the effort you put into these videos. Genius! My new Bar Manager Guru and Mentor! I am glued to the channel… 🤑🤩🍻
I always charge double price for double shots. Not sure why bars give discounts on a 2nd shot. If two guys each ordered a Jack and Coke for $8, you wouldn't give the 2nd guy his drink for $4. Dives pour cost % way up. That's just my two cents.
Aggressive and profit focused. When you nickel and dime, you train your customers to be cheap. Generosity and over serving the customer is the only key to your business success.
I agree in some points, but properly sized glassware and sales competitions, proper inventory are very good ways to keep the costs and sales under control

I will infuse a regular vodka with my leftover citrus from garnishes, or take the peel out of the citrus I use for juices
Agreed, old nasty looking fruit is a MAJOR no no !

how would you suggest pricing single to double shots for spirits to push mixer sales

Looks like a way to milk your customers until they stop coming.
