It may even save you thousands of dollars by avoiding costly mistakes in areas you may have overlooked.” — Mike Snyder MrGoodbeer.com “This is an excellent book, providing a thorough examination of the bar business. Anyone considering the bar business, whether as a new start-up or purchasing an existing one, would do well to read this book. For the beginner, it poses some important aspects of the business and points out the work involved with operating successfully versus the “romantic” idea of what being a bar owner is. It covers the essentials like legal issues, permitting, and determining customer base and appeal in detail for the beginner. For the seasoned bar owner or manager, it gives good advice on assessing customers, cost issues, and dealing with problems. As someone who has professionally consulted with prospective and present bar owners about their businesses, this book will be a welcome addition to my job. There is no one who wouldn’t be able to apply knowledge from this book to their business and improve the business.” — Jeff Uher Co-founder, Uher Hospitality, LLC “The Professional Bar & Beverage Manager’s Handbook is a necessity and your ultimate guideline to success!” — Gilles Bensabeur Table of Contents Introduction Foreword Chapter 1: Opening a Bar—An Overview Chapter 2: Employees Chapter 3: Inventory Chapter 4: Bar Layout (Nuts and Bolts) Chapter 5: Advertising and Marketing Chapter 6: Types of Beverages Chapter 7: Preparing and Serving Beverages Chapter 8: Food & Sanitation Chapter 9: Bar Controls Chapter 10: Money Chapter 11: Customers Chapter 12: Tips to Making Your Bar a Success Chapter 13: Your Bar’s Personality Chapter 14: Dealing with Problems Chapter 15: Myths About Managing a Bar That Could Hurt Your Business Chapter 16: Nightclubs Chapter 17: Additional Equipment Chapter 18: Laws by State Chapter 19: Forms and Charts Conclusion Glossary Manufacturers Reference More Great Titles from Atlantic Publishing
