Love this. Im wanting to set up a moble bar business but thinking of using it by day as a coffee cart with food and having it available for private events and in time payment move to larger public events (have a toddler). Ive just started a small business couse so info like this is great! I came on here looking for conversion videos of caravans into bars but they are all horse tailers!! Im sure it be similar concept conversion wise.
Thanks for watching!!You should watch my latest video it's a long one 20mins the one that has the thumbnail from here to here , plenty of info on there plus there's a whole part where I give a tour of inside the van and what it's like to do a major event!
I am on my 3rd week of bartending at red lobster and I like making drinks, I’m a great hands on learner and am good with people with customer service experience. I am thinking about maybe getting a mobile bar business one day and would be perfect bc I like to travel. I wouldn’t limit my business too much
I am a retired pro wrestler that also did special guest bartending gigs as I’ve been bartending all across this country since I was 21 years old. I just retired from Pro Wrestling and my goal in life now is to launch a mobile bar and event business because everyone that knows me knows, my one talent and gift is throwing parties lol I will be following you very closely for guidance. Thank you for this channel and sharing your knowledge.
Hi there , firstly thanks for watching! If you need any help feel free to reach out and send me an email. Love pro wrestling too , i'm sure your contacts will come in handy getting some work. Good luck with everything.
Hey! This was precisely what I was looking for, so thank you very much for posting. I was mulling over the issue of glassware, and was wondering what you’d suggest a small mobile bar business do to ensure they have enough glassware for an event like a wedding. Do you have a dishwashing station in your mobile bar? Do you use a single multi purpose glass, or different varieties per drink type? Hope business is good, and thanks again!
Hi Brian thanks for watching. Yeah i have 3 sinks in my van plus a water pump and heater. I've got a tour of the van in one of my other videos I've put all the mobile bar vids in a playlist so you should be able to find a tour in one of the vids! Yeah if your doing a wedding definitely make sure you've got enough glassware. Buying glasses is probably one of the biggest hidden costs when setting up but it's worth it as a lot of customers will hire you just because of the fact you are able to supply glassware.
How do you work out quantity’s of alcoholic beverages to stock for an event? For example there’s an event for 100 people and the customer has chosen 2 spirits, 2 beers and 2 wines. How do you work out quantities of all of them for the 100 people so you’re not taking copious amounts of alcohol away from the event and in turn out of pocket?
So i'm assuming you have your liqour licence if your supplying the alcohol? This will depend on how long your event is on for. assuming it is 4-5 hours you can average out that around 70-80 ppl will drink at the event. The rest will be children or ppl driving. Of the 70-80 ppl tend to average between 4-5 drinks in that time period. Then you kind of work it out from there.
You don’t need any of this if you’re just using your bar for private events ; the person provides the alcohol and you are just providing bartered services .
Hey man thanks for watching. To be honest it depends where your based and how long the event is and a number of factors. But the packages I charge for my van are usually based on 3hrs ,5hrs or 7 hours of service then we go from there.
From what I understand in the states you don’t need a liquor license because you’re doing private events on a private residence. Can anyone confirm this?
Anyone here that has a mobile bar willing to talk about it? Tried calling a few business in other states and they just think I am trying to steal their business. Let me know
@callmescout5831 Thanks I've got a few videos on here on the topic. I've got one coming soon that shows my setup from first contact with the customer , the prep leading up and then the event on the day
That one won't be for another month as the event i'm doing it for is a music festival on the 17th Feb. I'l probably also do a livestream from it too so you can really see how the setup works and how we can smash out hundreds of drinks per hour to large crowds. @@richardgriffin2659
@jadatollinchi6984 ah sorry so I use xero. It's pretty simple to use and you can give access to your accountant and they are able to finalise your quarterlys and end of year remotely.

It's always good to be paid for a job that you actually enjoy doing.

How do you advertise yourself?
A lot of great advice. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks guys appreciate it.
Thanks for the info bro

@l.a.b-likeabosstrucking6617 It's a good thing this videos about an actual business then eh?
Are you by chance a Danish bartender? 😊
Started my own firm now and could use some sparring
@@mikaelqkusk4824 Sorry my friend , based in Australia but i'm Irish!
What’s your best website for ordering bar supplies and tools?
Since we are based in Australia, I just use the local wholesale supply store which is called Fletchers
Nice video! I was wandering how much you cost per event?

From what I understand in the states you don’t need a liquor license because you’re doing private events on a private residence. Can anyone confirm this?
Can confirm . If you are doing this as a business yeah you can but you would still need to get public liability insurance.
Anyone here that has a mobile bar willing to talk about it? Tried calling a few business in other states and they just think I am trying to steal their business. Let me know
What sort of stuff would you like to know? Maybe I can do videos on them? Happy to help.
Would love to see more videos! I’m currently watching a couple people on TikTok that are doing it and giving advice also. Thank you
@callmescout5831 Thanks I've got a few videos on here on the topic. I've got one coming soon that shows my setup from first contact with the customer , the prep leading up and then the event on the day
How soon before you post the video?

Thank you for this 🥂
Thanks for watching
If they provide all alcohol, beer and wine, do you need a liquor license??
Depends on where your serving from?Private property?Council area? A cocktail van ,/ trailer? Festival?
@@therustybartender it would be private parties and private events.
How do you do taxes?
Do you mean end of year tax? Through an accountant
Do you mean end of year tax? Through an accountant
@@therustybartender or quarterly! Both maybe. Just the system you use to do it and keep track
