Catch the set up and watch me bounce between events. Then watch til the end for more insight. You should know, this is MY experience, based on my own personal desires and standards. Mobile bartending may be different (but I assume similar) for others.

As a business owner i get but also that’s what comes with title you hold. Keep going, it’s gonna better
I ran an entertainment company and had similar problems with staffing for events. One thing that did help was we started building in an extra couple of hours or so in the pricing for one of the staff to start and end their shift with who ever was managing the event that day, starting/ending at our warehouse and riding with in the van. Omg huge difference… help loading the van, navigating load in and parking, help driving back and unloading. I’m considering starting a mobile bar biz in FL and will use a similar model.
What part of Florida? That’s why I do for special events now.
@@theartistcherrypi6454 I’m in Gainesville. You run an entertainment company? Nice to e-meet you!
@@brockrylander3401 I’m new to Daytona. I meant that I do special events bartending and catering too occasionally but my dream is to become a mobile bartender and travel all over. People love me and it’s a lot of fun😀😀😀😀😀😀
Hiii new subbie here!! I love your transparency in this video! I just finished up with bartending school. Interested in starting my own mobile bartending business in the future. Wishing I was still in ATL because I would love to work for you. Just based on this video, I love your structure. Just know you're definitely not asking too much when you have an expected standard for your business. You are so inspiring and I encourage you to "keep your gin up"!! You've got this girl!! ❤️🥂❤️
I wish ATL was closer than 4.5 hours, I would love to help out! I’ve been in F&B for over 10 years between serving and bartending and have been wanting to get into mobile bartending. It definitely is hard work, and harder to find hard workers! Best of luck!! ❤
I completely understand, and I have this same conversation with myself everyday and after every event. I'm thankful for my team but they don't do extra but want extra
I would definately work for you based off what you have presented. Thanks for the transparency!
Thank you for your transparency. Thinking of starting a business myself.
Girl I just came across your videos and started my mobile bartending business 3 years ago and I can 100% relate to all your headaches! ugh its SOOOO much work that people do not see. but all the positive feedback I get from people after every event makes it worth the headache.
I’m also a mobile bartender that’s just now starting out here in Birmingham. I’ve been bartending for about 2years an when I say I love your videos.. they have taught me so much and I’m still learning.
I'm so glad to see you are here in Birmingham! Do you have contact info? 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I love your videos! You inspire me, you’re doing great 😊 ❤
I just saw that this video came out on my feed and I can’t wait to have a little break in the day and look at it 🤩
That’s awesome. Happy you enjoy them. 🥂
I'm impressed! I love the setup it looks so refreshing and almost antiseptic as well just very clean. Did you make your own mixers for your cocktails.
BEAUTIFUL SET UP
I so wish you were in the UK as I would love to partner with a mobile bar business! Just wanted to say thankyou for all of your videos. It's so nice to know that other mobile bartenders face the same issues. I had 4 staff when I started and now I've redesigned the business to fit around just me taking on events. I do a mix of small community events and then mainly private parties. Priority this time has been making profit as a solo bartender before I even consider staff again.
It’s funny you say that. I just switched to structuring my business around myself too. It’s too much trying to teach + depend on other people. Trying to scale and manage multiple events is nice income wise, but it’s simply not worth all the effort + stress for me. 🥂
Hey girl! Just a heads up your button for the links to our mobile bar, glassware, and more. Isnt working mostly because I need to know where your menus are from! They are so cute and where the bar that you used for the wedding is from.
I was thinking “what am I doing?” After this weekend. Birthday party Saturday and wedding reception on Sunday. I was beyond tired. And to make things worse, I got sick from it. If it’s not one thing it’s another. All moving parts impossible to predict. For the first time since I started my mobile, bartending journey, I thought of quitting…
Fuck that! If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. And a lot of people are starting their business, but I think it’s people with high standards great quality cocktails, and their own personality that makes the bar mobile service stand out from the rest and out Last them.
Keep your head up, we’ve got this!!
Doing my best. The frustration be real. 😔
Wow indeed definitely understand
You’re doing an amazing job! Wow!
Thank you for sharing the hard parts of this! I appreciate it!
Thank you for saying that. I need it sometimes. & you’re welcome. I feel like it’s necessary for people to understand.
A tip is earned!!!
This is my dream and I am going to watch you for inspiration ❤❤❤❤❤❤ and learn everything
That’s cool. What exactly are you wanting to learn?
I would like to learn how you set for events and pros and cons of it.
Oh great. There are a few videos already up on that.@@stopit41
Much appreciated ❤
one recommendation for the "signature cocktail" have it printed for each station so they can at least reference it seeing as they can't read (eye roll). Also making the base (no alcohol) of the signature cocktails in batches could be more efficient for you and less time consuming for service.
I’ve been batching mixer since forever! Designed it so all bartenders have to do is add the alcohol and garnish. I’ve done everything in my human power to make things as simple as possible for people but oddly the math still isn’t mathing. I’ve also printed the recipes for people to simply glance and follow. Even after sharing the recipes via email prior to service for them to “study”
Seriously, I appreciate this so much and thank you for thinking of us mobile bartenders (those who have businesses already established and those establishing their businesses). These are things I wish I had known a year ago.
Where did you get the metal beer containers the ones you say to put beers in first, then Ice the metal ones they look really cool
Hi. Here's a link to access a pdf I put together for where I purchased my materials, supplies, and equipment. sowl.co/s/XUbxA
Thank you 🎉
Hi there, for bar setups with no running water do you ever need to rinse shakers between drinks?
Hello!! New sub!!! Was it your choice for topo Chico or the person who booked you?
The client 🥂
Hi! Where can i find the portable bar you use?
I’m also a perfectionist and I worked for a luxury resort brand and the standards were supposed to be everything. They were for me and they still are! I’m worried that I can’t find quality people because most of the hospitality industry now has young workers that could care less. Any thoughts on this?
I could go on and on about this! Stay tuned because I mentioned a bit about it in an upcoming video. For me, I learned that I have to work in my business to make sure the standard is maintained. I can’t just be the owner and leave the responsibilities of the event to other people.🥂
I love your videos!! Do you maybe have a Amazon storefront or anything. 😊
Happy you enjoy them! I'm linking what I can in the description of the videos. Here's a list of commonly asked materials and supplies. Click what you need and it'll take you to Amazon.

Could you please put the information on where to purchase the portable bar?
I will share in another video.
Hi! Can you link the portable bar? Thanks!
Hi. I now have a link available sharing a list (with links) of where I purchased equipment, materials, + supplies for my mobile bartending business. It includes my portable bars, drink ware, + more. square.link/u/ZwCUbDae
This link isn't working :( Is there somewhere else I can find the portable bar

24:52 incentive?
lol… people aren’t raised with any standards anymore. If you really want to know why it’s so difficult… there is so much more to unwrap to answer the question. It’s a factor in business for sure though.
Where are you located?

@@MilkHoneyTV Oh wow so am I. Savannah Georgia
Bartenders do be bartending, tho
