Successful Bar Management Seminar now available!

Learn everything you need to know to be a successful bar owner, bartender or bar manager at the Certified Bar Management seminar.

Topics covered include:

Human Resources Knowing how to interview and select the right bartender for your clientele is essential to the success of the enterprise. "Obviously, we're talking about things like punctuality, dependability and honesty here," Johnson said. "But the primary ingredient that the bartender needs is a vibrant personality."

 Managing Bartenders/Wait Persons What are the key skills that you should teach your bar personnel? "Let's talk about cleanliness, appearance, quality service, but also about using the proper techniques and about doing things right when it comes to making and serving drinks. In many instances today we're serving the drink improperly!"

Bartender Theft "It's truly unfortunate," says the beverage doc, "that a few bad apples in our industry so often give the profession a bad name. Our course describes exactly how some bartenders steal from their owners, and what you can do about it."

Beverage Control Johnson says that the biggest mistake made by bar managers is their failure to "work on keeping up with the inventory every single day." This requires only 20-30 minutes a day as a rule, he says. "Our course is loaded with tips on how you can organize your inventory in order to control it with a minimum of time and energy."

Potpourri The Bob Johnson seminar also covers a number of other topics related to the bar industry--including legal issues, pricing drinks, methods for increasing sales, the physiology of alcohol, eliminating fights, security personnel and learning how to prevent patrons from becoming intoxicated.
