Episode Details

Slow nights followed by slammed weekends can make running a bar feel unpredictable. 

But those swings aren’t random.  They’re seasonal patterns hiding in your sales data.

Miss them and you’ll end up overstaffed on quiet nights, scrambling on busy ones, and sitting on inventory nobody’s ordering. 

In this episode, I’ll show you how to spot those patterns, plan around them, and actually use them to your advantage.

The result: instead of guessing your way through the year, you’ll have a clear plan that keeps your team balanced, your costs tight, and your profits steady no matter the season.
