Hi, welcome to Glimpse. I am going to present to you eleven ways to increase your bar sales and profit margins. Competition in the hospitality industry is fierce. To be successful, you need to differentiate while implementing standard best practices. That’s right, you need to provide a unique experience to your customers and at the same time learn from other people’s mistakes and accomplishments. In this video, we’re going to look at industry best practices for increasing your bar revenue and improving profitability. Some of our tips will focus on sales specifically, while others will help you decrease operational costs and thus influence profit. Ready? Let’s go. The first way to increase your bar sales and profit margins is implementing an upselling strategy. By training your bar staff and servers to upsell, you can significantly increase your sales. Here are the main ways to upsell and see higher bar tabs: One: Give suggestions. Two: Recommend pairing drink selections with food items. Three: Upsell top-shelf liquor. Four: Encourage customers to try something new. Five: Focus on signature drinks and food items that are more profitable. Six: Introduce before, during, and after drinks. The second way to increase your bar sales and profit margins is creating mocktails. You can do that by having a good selection of alcohol-free drinks on your menu. The third way is related to boosting premium liquor sales. It’s not just your top-shelf liquor sales that will increase your bar revenue. Train your bartenders to recommend premium brands when pouring for customers. The fourth way is offering free tasting. When given a sample, people are more inclined to reciprocate your generosity and buy the full pour drink. The fifth way to increase your bar sales and profit margins is updating your menu. Your regular customers will spend more if you update and renew your menu at least once every three months. Otherwise, a boring and familiar menu may push them over to your competition. The sixth way is about creating a cozy bar atmosphere. Take a close look at your bar – is it cozy, comfortable, and appealing to customers? If not, it’s time to update your bar seating and décor to form a unique experience. The seventh way is the introduction of bar games and themed nights. You want to engage your customers, so they stay longer and put your themed nights on their calendar as a recurring event. The eighth way is promoting your bar on social media. Using social media such as Instagram, and Facebook can bring in more customers to your bar and keep them engaged and entertained. The ninth way is related to controlling liquor and food costs. Controlling your liquor and food costs is essential to increasing your bar profitability. Here are some of the main areas you’ll need to consider. The first one is about using an inventory management system, such as the Glimpse inventory solution. The second option is about reducing waste, and the third approach is improving recipe management. The tenth way to increase your bar sales and profit margins is investing in modern bar and kitchen equipment. Investing in modern and up to date bar and kitchen equipment ensures that you’re giving your bar and kitchen staff the tools they need to produce exceptional drinks and food. And finally, the eleventh way is related to improving compliance and operations. Use reports from your P O S system and software such as Glimpse to provide detailed reports to identify and monitor risk and eliminate unnecessary costs. You’ll be able to get statistical reports about your employees to compare performance across your team, identify “at risk transactions,” and review video and photos to check for unrecorded sales. All of this data combined will help to decrease your costs and improve your sales. As the owner or manager of a bar, it can be challenging to improve your profitability. By implementing the strategies outlined in this video, you’ll be able to increase your bar sales by encouraging your customers to buy more while lowering your operating costs so you can see more profit.
