What is a Bar Manager?

Bar Managers work hand in hand with the Staff, Vendors and Bar Owner to ensure a smooth running, profitable business. Bar Managers are directly responsible for sourcing staff, training staff, terminating staff, ordering and turning inventory, controlling labor, controlling waste, nightly accounting, marketing, visual and the general upkeep of the establishment.

While a degree in restaurant management is preferred, often times Bar Managers obtain their jobs through employment history and duration of industry experience. Having certifications or a degree from a recognized school will improve any candidates chances of landing a higher paying job. Seeing that there are a multitude of moving parts to oversee, a Bar Manager must have very strong prioritizing, management and communication skills.
