Need a Question Answered About Your Business?

Over the last seven days more than 1400 bars and restaurants followed the 7 Day Roadmap to a Profitable 2010. Amazing action has been taken by an amazing group of hospitality business owners. I have been inundated with questions about various parts of the program, so I have decided to use video to answer all of your questions.
You might have a question about Twitter for your bar, or you might want to know how to reduce staff theft in your restaurant or what to consider when you purchase a POS system. Whatever the question is (as long as it is related to your business) I will do my very best to answer it for you and publish the answer in video format for you to view.
I won’t reveal your business name unless you want me to, so just enter your question in the comments area below this video together with your name and city and keep checking back to see my response in video to your question. It really is that simple.
Think of this as free consulting for your business, in 3-5 minute bursts! I’ve had such great feedback from the 7 Day Roadmap, it inspired me to give more back to everyone who took the time to follow the steps each day. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Barry,
My mom and I own a small (15 person bar) with a dining room for 30 as well as a pool area. Our last bartender had slowly ruined our evening crowd. Our food is awesome so we are very busy until about 9pm, then it just dies. I have tried a few other bartenders but they did not work either. Now it is back to my mom & I doing it all.
We have tried amazing drink specials ($2drinks from 9-2) etc. We have also tried free pool and darts.
We have a lot of regulars, some new faces for dinners, but not much at night.
I am to the point where I feel like we have done all we could and should just close at 9pm, but we are a bar I want to be busy till 2am...
Any ideas would be amazing!!!

A very popular restaurant w/an 20 seat L-shaped bar and a service area at the end for servers lets the 3 bar tenders working any shift roam up & down with no assigned section nor one of the 3 designated for service exclusively.Sometimes the wait is long for servers and bar patrons/customers.Is it not sound business to assign them a section of the bar with responsibility for that area primarily?
Thanks,
Ev Barnes, Grapevine, Texas.
