Episode Details

Running a bar isn’t just about controlling costs, it’s about leading people.

In our latest episode with Dave Nitzel and Dave Domzalski, we unpack their new book, A Tale of Two Taverns, and the deeper lesson behind it.

Through the story of two competing bar owners, they reveal why traditional corporate logic often fails in hospitality, and how culture, incentives, and leadership directly impact your bottom line.

One owner focuses on spreadsheets.
The other focuses on people.

The difference? Profit becomes an outcome, not the goal.

The lesson here? If you’re still treating your bar like a transaction, you’re missing the real driver of growth.
