The Bar Business Podcast: Smart Hospitality & Marketing Secrets For Bar & Pub Owners

The Gift Card Profit Maximizer: How Bars Can Make $5K in 10 Days With Gift Cards

Chris Schneider, The Bar Business Coach Season 3 Episode 193

Most bars don’t sell as many gift cards as they could.

They’re easy to miss, rarely mentioned by staff, and usually treated like an afterthought, even during the holidays.

In this episode, we break down how simple 10-day gift card push bars can launch fast to bring in extra cash before Christmas.

You’ll learn how to add a bonus card that motivates buyers, why gift cards often turn into bigger checks when redeemed, and how small changes in placement and staff behavior can drive more sales.

We also explain how gift cards help with cash flow going into slower months and why they’re one of the lowest-risk ways to boost revenue.

The takeaway: more money now, more guests later, and a smarter way to use gift cards.
