Hey Lee, Great video! Finally subscribed. Currently starting my own mobile bar business and your vids are leading me in the right direction so thank you. keep posting!
I appreciate the transparency. I have an interest in doing similar. Do you have any advice for a person who can make any drink but doesn't know any tricks. I wish to start my own business but I don't understand your pricing model for rentals.
How do you price everything as far as the service it self? Is it like package deal where they pay for the alcohol or like the pay per drink? I just starting out, so basically they would pay for all the alcohol and mixers and my service basically? Is there like guide pricing? just curious.
My question is, do I ask the customer what cocktails they want at the gig? Do I charge them for the purchase of these bottles??? Or am I suppose to assume what they want???
Taxes are expensive so I put away a portion of every payment I receive. But there are many perks to a home based business like all of the stuff that I can write off.
It’s depends on your area. Here in Canada everyone who serves alcohol is required to take a course that teaches how to sadly serve alcohol. However I think you may be referring to a bartending course? If so a bartending course is not needed but you may not get a start bartending without one unless you work your way up in a bar.
Hey I'm 20 and I've been a busier/barback since I was 16, Ive now been bartending for about 5 months but I think I picked it up quick. Do you recommend I wait to get more experience as a bartender or do you reccomend I try to start my business now.

Same question
I like the intro 👍 very informative
Great lead into video. Nice
Thanks for the info i have a question do you recommend glassware or can we also use plastic cups that are for cocktails?
You can do either or. Honeslty depends on the clients and what kind of event it is.
Good stuff thanks for the inside look
Thanks!
Hello love your videos, can u tell me where i can buy your first portable bar?
I bought my riser from staples. Just google bar riser for sale.
This is great thank you!
My question is, do I ask the customer what cocktails they want at the gig? Do I charge them for the purchase of these bottles???
Or am I suppose to assume what they want???
Very informative!!!
Thanks. I hope to do many more this winter!
How do you rinse your bar gear and shaking tins when working with a basic bar?
There is usually a sink or I have a mobile rinse station but never use it.
what do the customers buy for the gigs like do they buy the ice and mixers?
Very informational! Good stuff!👍
When owning a Business such as Rentals and Bartendin, are your taxes expensive as you have 2 companies?
Taxes are expensive so I put away a portion of every payment I receive. But there are many perks to a home based business like all of the stuff that I can write off.
I love you
😁
I didnt agree when he says you can make mobile bar for $0 lol
Do you provide your own garnishes and juices or do you make the person hiring you provide the items?
Where did he buy that portable bar from?
Where did you get the first beginning bar
Can it be possible to go to restaurants that only sale beer 🍺 and ask to rent a space in their restaurant? Is that possible or legal?
You could try. However most restaurants will hire their own bartenders. Also regarding sale of alcohol I recommend checking your local laws.
do you bring your own alcohol or you just bring your equipment?
We aren’t allowed to bring the alcohol in my area. Hopefully in your area you are as that can be a big money maker.
Any more info on advertising?
You want to be found on google:

Is it required for everyone to have a bar for everyone to have a bartending license to work the bar?

However I think you may be referring to a bartending course? If so a bartending course is not needed but you may not get a start bartending without one unless you work your way up in a bar.
Where did you get the gray bins for ice?
I get them from a place called Wholesale Club. But you can just google your local restaurant supply store.
