Also and this is a very important request. I would also like to the know the best Officers Club, Top Three Club, NCO Club, Airmen's Club, Soldiers Club, Sailors Club, Marine Club, Enlisted Club or All Hands Club you were ever in. 

Tell me were the club was located either on a base or post or if was located off an installation such as the China Fleet Club.

To begin my salute I will begin with the branch of service I proudy served in for 21 years.

Seven Reasons Bars Lose Money - # 1 Bartenders

Hi,

Eba here with my first post.  To make this post special I am posting a wonderful checklist for bar owners. Its a checklist developed by a colleague of mine Gabe Gabrielsen that he included in a series of articles he wrote explaining WHY BARS LOSE MONEY. 

Mr. Gabrielsen by profession works with local governments across the country to increase their economic development opportunities.  Many of his ideas you will agree apply to those of us in the bar and tavern industries.  After you read his checklist post a comment below or contact me directly at barprofitman@gmail.com.  { I included an excerpt from Mr Gabrielsen's article on Bartenders on a separate page to this blog which I think you will find tremendous value.}

   BAR OWNER BARTENDER CHECKLIST                                
     Warning this checklist may significantly increase your bar profits. 

To use the checklist just answer “Yes” or “No” to the nine questions listed below. Some Yeses increase your bar revenues other Yeses severely limit your profits. 
 
Do your bartenders –

Welcome strangers when they walk in the door?

Engage first-time visitors in “lite conversation”?

Spend time “evenly” with all patrons at the bar?

Every YES means more profits

Do you allow -

Bartenders to report for work wearing T-shirts advertising other businesses or places they have been?

Male bartenders to show up for work unshaven and not wearing a belt?

Female bartenders to wear tank tops and plunging V-neck blouses and sweaters that expose excessive cleavage?

Your bartenders to consume alcohol while on duty?

Every YES means you are losing money

Finally,
Do your bartenders -

Allow customers to frequently drop the “F” word in their conversations?

Engage in controversial discussions such as politics and religion?

Each YES costs you significant profits and leads to the loss of customers

Remember = Profitable bars have great bartenders.

Sincerely - Gabe Gabrielsen
