Manuals & Guides

Our editable playbooks empower bar teams to deliver consistent service, manage risk, and boost profit nightly.

The Bar Experts’ Manuals & Guides collection empowers operators to transform key routines into repeatable, measurable systems. Each template, refined through hundreds of bar turnarounds and training tours, arrives in editable Word or Excel format so teams can apply venue logos, local laws, and punch-list targets rapidly. Subjects range from opening and closing duties, pour-cost analysis, and recipe spec cards to security patrol logs, ID check drills, and emergency response protocols. A coaching sheet accompanies every file, explaining how to deploy the tool, monitor compliance, and adjust benchmarks as revenue grows.
