What would you stain and seal a mobile bar with?

First I want to say you have provided so much clarity for me as I am beginning this journey. I have a question about cups. What if the client wants to use their own cups?

This was the confirmation I needed.

For your alcohol calculator- what template did you use? Thanks for the calculator website!

What license do you need for this? Any type of serv safe for food and beverage handling?

Kaelin you are so inspiring, Im really looking forward to my big goals being accomplished all by my mobile bar cart(Im building) opening up those doors. Thank you so so so much for all your videos! You are truly making a difference on youtube! Can you make a video on where to start, with a menu when first starting out ,when to expand that menu, and custom menus in general as well please? Thanks mama!

Very interested! headed to your website for more details!

Do you still have the HoneyBook link?

Hi ! I have probably watched every single video you have and I am so so so grateful for all the information you have been sharing ! I am still stuck on the paperwork part. I am also in Pennsylvania. I am not operating with a trailer. Would I still need a MFF license ? What about prepping garnishes and stuff? Thank You so much !!!!

Omg, this video is so helpful. My brother and I are looking to get into the business and didn't realize some of the small details you mentioned. The other person was right. You should do an online class. You are so great

Hey girly. Can you please share the coffee maker you have for the events .

License you need at first no trailer and insurance

Thanks for sharing so much info. Question: Do you need a license for the tea, coffee, hydration station and or fruits or anything used for drinks?

Do you have to I.D. All Guest at these private events?

What do you suggest for business checking account ? All the ones I’ve found have fees..

Hey girly, I’m at the point now where I have to hire a bartender….this is probably a dumb question but I would pay the hourly off the profit I’m making for the event correct?

I am just starting out and thank you so much for this video! I've watched a few but yours hit home! It's like you speaking to my soul right now❤ I appreciate this so much! May God bless you to reach many more

Are you only a dry hire? If so, how do you work the benefits? Do you get a permit to legally sell the alcohol for the day or how does that work?

Could you show us a couple of ways you and the bartenders will dress for different events. I'm needing attire ideas lol

How many hours did it take

Awesome idea

This is so helpful. I am starting this as my first business venture and I am super scared and excited. I am so thankful I came across your channel. Thank you!

The alcohol calculator on your website gives numbers for bottles of wine, bottles of liquor, bottles of champagne and bottles of beer. Should the unit for beer be different? Are we talking cases, kegs, etc?

This was amazing!! You’re awesome

would be nice if there were pictures popping up as you are describing

Hi I'm just starting out, this is so helpful. Can you tell me what permits I will need??

What is a RAM certification? Is that a certificate to serve alcohol?

Hey girl. How much extra do you charge if over the minimum hours?

What do you use for payment ? I’m working on that step

I've been going through your videos on marketing and sales and have found them incredibly helpful. Though I'm in a different industry, I'm jewelry designer & stylist. I'm determined to approach my industry differently and I really appreciate you sharing your business experiences, the mindsets and attitudes definitely apply to other industries.

Would you be willing to do a one on one meeting of some kind? I am interested in starting a busy like this. I have the necessary capital to get going with a trailer but I have some questions. I would appreciate any kind of advice/mentorship I could get.

As the owner and operator of my new business, I do have a responsibility alcohol management cert, but do I need one for the business as well?

Do you have any wholesale recommendations for things like cups, straws, napkins, etc? Still going through your videos so I’m sorry if your already listed them!

Love your honest and real outlook and advice! Such valuable information. Excited for the next video about getting seen by higher value clients!

Keep going. Love you

Amazing content. Thank you so much for all of your invaluable tips. I’m at the beginning of my journey building my business and I love your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Four!

So pretty much as long as the customer purchases the alcohol and does charge for it you are able to serve it with no penalty correct?

I’m so glad I found you! I just started my own bartending service, called CHEERS BARTENDING SERVICE, literally day 2. How do you recommend gaining social media attention?

Thank you for sharing!! I am thinking about starting one too, and this is so helpful!

So I had one lead that wanted to get a bartender for their wedding and then at the last second after ghosting me because I could not get them to commit to a phone call they came out and said that they had a friend of the family that was going to bartend. How do I overcome this objection knowing that this person probably was not bonded and just probably had a basic alcohol beverage commission certification from the state of Texas? I tried to let them know that the liability falls on the person that is having the party and also the bartender if somebody happens to have something bad happen after the party related to too much drinking. I didn't know really what else to say.

I feel so bad for you doing so many emails! Girl, I have my calendar FULL, and I have 95% closing ratio. I don't do ANY marketing. I have become a preferred vendor at 9 venues. They do all of the marketing for me and keep my books full! I see you do the same thing...preferred vendor...it's definitely the way to go! I charge $800 for the first 4 hours and $100 for every hour after that. 2nd bartender rates are $85/hr and servers/bussers are $75 per hour. (We do a lot of event staffing and the caterers in our town use our staff as well when they are short). 2nd bar set up us $150 Champagne Toast is $1 per head Tent rental $95 All glassware is .75 per item Travel is .65/mile + $25/meal per diem + $250/night hotel stay. There's my pricing! PS: we only charge for the hours the bar is OPEN (thus the $800 for 1st 4 hrs, I have factored in set up and break down cost here).

My heart goes out to you in your time of tragedy 💔 😔

My motto for 2024 is "There is no competition, only collaboration!"

This video is incredibly insightful! Your tips on hiring the right staff are practical and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing such valuable advice!

Thanks so much for answering this question! I currently work in a restaurant where I manage, serve and bartend. I have plenty of people I work with and know they are very good at what they do but I don’t want to pilfer employees from my current employer out of respect so I was looking for people I know who might have a day job and are free weekends to work events. Appreciate your time and effort putting these together for your followers 🙏🏼

I really appreciate the video! I’m working on starting my own mobile bartending business as well. How do you go about rinsing your shaker tin, etc. between mixing cocktails?

You're amazing! I just started my own bartending catering business. I would like to do some video conference with you if it's possible.

Thanks for this. I do not want to hire 10 staff and work huge weddings. I would love to do it on a smaller scale like 100 guests or less, make $400-500 per event and have a 4-5 per month. At most hire 1 person. I have 2 other small businesses I'm working on to bring self employment income so not looking to scale the bartending business too crazy. Any advice or suggestions on how to keep it simple?
