    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.

    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.

    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

    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?

    • @therustybartender
      @therustybartender  5 місяців тому +2

      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.

    • @therustybartender
      @therustybartender  7 місяців тому

      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.

      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.

      @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.
