Read that again. ​It’s not the one with the fanciest vest or the longest bar spoon. It’s the one who provides the most value to the guest and the most profit to the house. ​We’re here to turn your hustle into real, life-changing money. No fear. No fluff. Just results. ​Who’s ready to kill it this weekend? Drop a "🔥" if you’re checking in for duty.

To the new legends who joined Bar Boss Academy this week: Welcome Home. ​You didn’t join this group to look at pictures of pretty garnishes. You joined because you’re tired of the fluff and you’re ready to turn your shift-work into a high-level career. ​In this house, we focus on three things: ​The Craft: Mixing killer drinks that keep seats filled. ​The Skill: Mastering the technical side of the bar so you’re the fastest pro in the room. ​The Money: Turning that hustle into real profit and leverage. ​The "No Fluff" Rule: We don't do "participation trophies" here. We do results. If you have a question, ask it. If you have a win, share it. If you’re stuck, speak up. ​💥 YOUR FIRST TASK (DO THIS NOW): Introduce yourself below so the community knows who they’re working with. ​Where are you currently slinging drinks? (City/State/Country) ​What is your #1 goal right now? (Mastering classics, opening your own spot, or just making more cash?) ​Post a photo of the best drink you made this week. ​Get active. The more you put in, the more you take home. 💸 ​Let’s get to work.

This is Money Mixology—where the cocktails are fire, the skills are sharp, and the hustle pays. 🍸 ⚡ First move: Share your signature drink or a challenge you want to crush.

Most people think bartending is just memorizing drinks. Here are 3 secrets that actually make you money: 🔥 1. Speed > Perfection You don’t need the “perfect” shake. You need to move confidently and keep the bar flowing. Fast hands = big tips. 🔥 2. Your Face Makes the Money Smile, eye contact, and one genuine compliment and/or joke per customer. People tip who they like, not just who pours well. 🔥 3. Upselling Isn’t Pushy “Want it with tequila reposado?” “Upgrade to premium for $2?” These tiny lines make bars thousands. They can make you hundreds. If you want more tips like this, I’m dropping new lessons + recipes inside Money Mixology Academy today.

A Mixologist knows how to make a great drink. A Bar Boss knows how to make that drink profitable. ​If you want to scale your career or your venue, you have to stop looking at the menu as a list of recipes and start looking at it as a financial portfolio. ​Every drink on your menu should serve a purpose: ✅ The High-Margin Hero: Easy to make, low cost, high perceived value. ✅ The Crowd Pleaser: High volume, consistent, keeps people coming back. ✅ The Signature Draw: Your "calling card" that justifies a premium price. ​If your "Signature Draw" has a 35% cost and takes 4 minutes to make during a rush... it’s killing your business. ​Action Step for today: Go look at your top 3 best-selling drinks. Do you know exactly what they cost you to produce down to the cent? If not, that's your homework. ​Who needs help calculating their pour costs? Comment "COST" below and I might put together a quick video tutorial for the classroom!
