10 Costly Mistakes Bar Owners Must Fix Before It’s Too Late
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most bars do not fail because of bad luck or a bad location.
They fail because of mistakes that feel reasonable while you are making them.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the 10 costly mistakes I’ve seen bar owners make again and again. Some I’ve made myself. Some I’ve seen clients make. And some I’ve watched bury bars that should have survived.
We’ll talk hiring, numbers, pricing, bad employees, overpouring, second locations, and the difference between busy and profitable.
These mistakes are fixable, but only if you catch them before they get expensive.
If you own or manage a bar, this is the episode to listen to before one small decision turns into a real problem.
