Are you ready to revolutionize your bar business? We can promise you this: our latest episode will show you exactly how to build a robust leadership pipeline, even if you run a small bar with just a few bartenders. We discuss the utmost importance of a great manager — the backbone of any successful establishment and share secrets to creating a culture that will not just attract but also retain the best talent. Using the kitchen brigade system as a guide, we show you how to design a clear chain of command essential to running a smooth operation.

Moving beyond the basics, we take you on a journey of creating a stellar management pipeline. We emphasize the need for selecting the right people as trainers, leads, and managers — a crucial factor that can make or break your bar business. The episode also takes a deep dive into potential conflicts that arise when managers double up as bartenders and the importance of having an internal pipeline for employees to grow and succeed. We also discuss how regardless of their role, everyone should start from the bottom to grasp the essence of the business. The episode concludes with us sharing some invaluable insights on training your staff so impeccably that they become the most sought-after in the industry. Tune in and give your bar business the competitive edge it deserves.
