Survival in the Bar Business September 3, 2009

Ever heard of Bob Johnson? If you’re in the bar and restaurant industry in any capacity, his name and legacy – a 44-year veteran of the bar business, a nationally-recognized beverage management consultant specializing in multi-unit management, the creator of Bob Johnson’s School of Bar Management and the Certified Bar Manager (CBM) program, America’s first certification program for bar managers – should ring a bell. On September 3rd, Johnson will come through San Francisco with his latest seminar series, “Survival in the Bar Business,” which will focus on human resources, liability, employee management, better ways to run a bar, preventing bartender theft, how to control costs, and much more. Unlike his past tours, Johnson is enlisting some additional expertise from BEVINCO, a leading provider of profit control and revenue enhancement services for bars and restaurants.

BEVINCO senior partner Ian Foster will be present at the September 3rd seminar at the Holiday Inn Fisherman’s Wharf at 1300 Columbus Ave. in San Francisco. In addition to sharing the benefits of inventory control, all registrants will be entered into a pre-event drawing to receive free admission. California Restaurant Association members will receive a discounted seminar fee of $139, a $50 discount will also be offered to all existing BEVINCO clients and non-clients will receive a free opening count when they sign up for a secret audit trial.
