How Independent Bar Owners Use AI Tools to Save Hours and Increase Profits
Running a bar without AI is like competing with chains using paper and pencil. Big brands spend millions on tech to shave a few points off costs. Independents can’t do that, but AI now delivers the same advantages at a fraction of the cost. Bar owners lose hours every week on scheduling, inventory, and marketing. That’s time that should go to guests. AI won’t replace hospitality, it frees you to focus on it. That’s why savvy operators are paying attention. With the right setup, AI can reclaim 10 to 20 hours a week, cut expenses, and transform how independents run their bars. Learn how to make AI your collaborator, not your substitute, with practical tools you can use today. 📌 What You’ll Learn 📌🌟 The back-office tasks AI can automate to save hours.🌟 Why 95% of independents are already implementing AI.🌟 The power of “context engineering” over prompts.🌟 Which AI tools are worth your time (and which to skip).🌟 How to start small and train your team with confidence. 🔴 Learn More: 🔴 📌 Want a personalized bar growth plan?Book your FREE STRATEGY SESSION here → https://barbusinesscoach.com/strategy-session🚨 Want a stronger team and better bar culture?Grab the free Bar Culture Workbook now→ https://barbusinesspodcast.com📢 Get FREE ACCESS to a group that understands the bar business→ https://www.facebook.com/groups/barbusinessnation🚀 Snag my book "How to Make Top-Shelf Profits in the Bar Business!"Learn 75+ strategies to run it more profitably→ https://barbusinesscoach.com/book/ Thank you to our show sponsors, SpotOn and Starfish.

Gen Z Bar and Nightlife Habits Redefining the Future of Bar Economics
To run a bar without the vision for Gen Z would be to develop a menu blindly. They spend less than Millennials did, yet spend when they do buy. They consult their phone on TikTok rather than Google. And when their discretionary spend comes in at $450 billion, they're quickly becoming the generation that makes or breaks your bar. That's why forward-thinking bar owners are listening. Gen Z isn't just another clientele group, they're redefining the economics, culture, and brand of nightlife. Learn what makes Gen Z tick, and discover how to create an experience that draws them in, wins their trust, and brings them back. 📌 What You’ll Learn 📌 🌟 Why Gen Z consumes 20% less than Millennials but spends the most on every trip. 🌟 The surprising impact from non-beer beverages and RTDs on bar sales. 🌟 How the $2,000/year Gen Z "socializing spend" shifts competition. 🌟 Why bars will fail to keep pace with other bars, but the overall entertainment. 🌟 The shift in marketing: why TikTok and Instagram outrun Google and Facebook. 🌟 How to turn beverage, space, event “Instagramable” to get free organic publicity. 🌟 What values (safety, inclusion, sustainability) that would be expected by Gen Z before purchasing. 🔴 Learn More: 🔴 📌 Want a personalized bar growth plan?Book your FREE STRATEGY SESSION here → https://barbusinesscoach.com/strategy-session🚨 Want a stronger team and better bar culture?Grab the free Bar Culture Workbook now→ https://barbusinesspodcast.com📢 Get FREE ACCESS to a group that understands the bar business→ https://www.facebook.com/groups/barbusinessnation🚀 Snag my book "How to Make Top-Shelf Profits in the Bar Business!"Learn 75+ strategies to run it more profitably→ https://barbusinesscoach.com/book/ Thank you to our show sponsors, SpotOn and Starfish.
