[@breerivera3887]

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 …

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad to be of help.

Learnt a lot. Thank dave

[@BN-fb9nn]

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!

[@cocu3282]

Been watching your videos and im looking to work as a bartender after i graduate

[@rfigley]

I feel the POS you mention that automatically viann digital ordering of feed drink is the best?

[@vert1]

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

You are awesome 👌

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

No, no, YOU are awesome! Thanks for stopping by.

I will infuse a regular vodka with my leftover citrus from garnishes, or take the peel out of the citrus I use for juices

Could you please do KZbin music podcasts so I can save this to my album?!!???

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

Done Jessica. You should be able to find all my podcasts here on youtube now.

[@nixrovr1516]

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

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

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.

[@rtg612]

What program was used to do cost control for the cocktails?

Any update on a mobile bar course?

[@DaveAllredTheRealBarman]

No update yet. Simply haven't had the time to get it done yet, but thanks for the reminder. Got it on the list.

[@floridafresa5665]

I was with you 200% until you got to the flights. God i hate flights on tickets, it makes service bar times go up they're soooo annoying,😡.

[@michaelvazquez7851]

Great

[@cmcd3174]

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.😬

[@DreamsToBuild]

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.

[@JampaB]

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

[@cmcd3174]

Agreed, old nasty looking fruit is a MAJOR no no !

[@Atheismo9760]

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