Bar & Restaurant Manager Resume Example - Update Yours for 2018

If you are: 
  1. an experienced bar manager looking for a new job or 
  2. you're a bartender who aims to become a bar manager,
below are some useful facts about the position.



Whatever the place (from pubs to high-end luxury bars) the core duties related to the bar manager or restaurant manager position are standard.

You will need to direct, plan and manage all the operations from managing the staff and adjusting their schedule to making sure the quality standards are met, customers are happy and maintain the efficiency at maximum for maximum profits and minimum waste.

Good Examples of Achievements for a Bar Manager Resume

  • Increased bar revenue with 20% through advertising featured cocktails with limited resources by using word-of-mouth strategies.
  • Decreased total costs by analyzing team member's strengths, hiring skilled bartenders and changing the schedule accordingly to their needs.
  • Upgraded the payment process by implementing a “pay in advance” system thereby ensuring no payments remained pending.
  • Proved to be a good team-player with the management team by providing innovative solutions, introduced new concepts, actively negotiated and resolved differences and employed a constructive criticism approach.

Bad Examples of Achievements for a Bar Manager Resume

  • I increased the bar revenue because of my financial knowledge.
  • Because I am good at reading people, I managed to hire only the most talented people.
  • The payment system was out of date, therefore I upgraded it to a new one that worked better.
  • My team-working skills made it possible for the bar to be successful as I was delegating tasks in a smart way and bartenders liked my working style.

Can i borrow $100?: Check out this Cheat Sheet on How to Handle 4 Awkward Financial Situations

Money may make the world go round, but it can also make for some awkward social situations. Whether it’s your best friend who’s always a little short on cash when the check comes, a relative who expects freebies and handouts, or a roommate who doesn’t get that bills have a due date, you’ve probably found yourself having to broach the potentially uncomfortable topic of money. And if you’re like many people, you may have found yourself dancing around the issue rather than confronting it head on.

“It is such a loaded conversation, and there is so much subtext and hidden meaning wrapped up in money,” Daniel Crosby, a behavioral finance expert, told Reuters. “Money is shorthand for happiness, power, and personal efficacy, so it can be very scary.”

Anxiety related to talking about money may be why you find yourself picking up your friend’s bar tab (again), loaning money to a spendthrift relative when you can’t afford it, or whipping out your credit card when it comes time to pay for a way-over-budget bachelor party weekend. Those moves may allow you to skirt some potentially awkward chats about money, but they’re likely to do damage to your finances and your relationships over time.

The next time you find yourself in an awkward money situation, don’t let fear take over. Instead, consider these tips for getting out of four sticky financial scenarios.

The Death of Priceline's "Name Your Own Price" is imminent


Priceline.com ended its Name Your Own Price bidding service for car rentals Monday, as it did for flights in 2016.


When Priceline.com debuted more than 20 years ago, it was the only way you could book a flight on the site. Users would specify when they wanted to fly and submitted a fare they would accept, and then Priceline.com would approve or reject the bid. The customer would only find out the identity of the airline if Priceline accepted the offer.

With the demise of Name Your Own Price for flights and cars, customers can opt to use Priceline’s Express Deals feature, which presents discounted rates with no bidding required. Customers learn the name of the airline or car rental company only after they book the deal.


For now, there are no publicly articulated plans for Priceline.com to end Name Your Own Price for hotels, which is a larger business than was the bidding feature was for flights and car rentals.

“Priceline isn’t going to speculate publicly on the future of Name Your Own Price for hotels,” said spokesman Devon Nagle. “There are no plans to sunset it for hotels.”

But the handwriting is on the proverbial wall because, in many ways, the online booking and competitive environment have overtaken Priceline.com’s Name Your Own Price for hotels.

Travelers who are looking to book a room for the night when they are leaving a bar or when their plans changed last-minute, these days are used to finding a hotel option quickly. They don’t have the patience for submitting bids, waiting for an answer, and resubmitting bids with the inefficiencies inherent in tapping around on mobile devices.

NAME YOUR PRICE PROMOTIONS HAVE GONE MISSING
Priceline.com’s homepage basically confirms that premise, although not explicitly. For example, the homepage on Monday offered an an ad atop the page touting Express Deals where consumers could save on “Hotels up to 60% off.” Name Your Own Price promotions were nowhere to be found on the page other than in small type at the bottom of the page.

It is noteworthy, too, that Express Deals offer discounts of up to 60 percent these days. When the search launched several years ago, the company touted maximum discounts of 45 percent — the larger discounts were the reserved for the Name Your Own Price feature.

The mobile revolution, including the advent of apps such as HotelTonight, which facilitate discounted hotel ratings in a few taps, have also made the Priceline.com bidding process for hotels virtually obsolete. Who needs to deal with placing bids, having them rejected, and then offering new bids with altered parameters — such as in a different section of a city — and all on a mobile device when you can book hotels from other companies without all of the hassle.

In addition to Express Deals for hotels, Priceline.com also offers mobile-only Tonight-Only Deals, which shows the name of a handful of hotels and the discounts up-front for deals that way.

Commenting on the demise of Priceline.com Name Your Own Price service for car rentals, Brian Harniman, who worked on the service when it launched in 2000, said it confirms that the retail market — namely published rates for car rentals — “is preferable for Priceline’s users.

Priceline.com’s sister brand, Rentalcars.com,  “provides global coverage and competitive rates,” said Harniman, who is managing director of advisory firm Brand New Matter.

Harriman argued that there was no sense for parent company Booking Holdings to operate a published model and an opaque model such as Name Your Own Price, when the car rental commissions were comparable.

“Lastly, there’s probably a hint of Lyft and Uber usage creeping into this space that makes Booking Holdings want to be as efficient as possible with regard to personnel and development costs,” he said.

Harniman, though, believes the bidding service in hotels has some staying power.

“I think there’s still a small, loyal base here,” for the Name Your Own Price service for hotels, Harniman said. “Operating the product might also allow them to bid on more keywords with multiple listings — so even if people don’t buy a NYOP hotel, they slide into Booking.com’s retail products.”

Sam Shank, the co-founder and CEO of a competitor, HotelTonight, thinks Priceline’s bidding service is anachronistic.

“Making consumers choose blindly to get a deal is a gimmick that’s no longer relevant,” Shank said. “In a mobile world that increasingly books last-minute, the specifics of what you’re booking matter — is there a rooftop bar that looks fun? Will it be open when I arrive?”

The whole “experiences” trend comes into play, Shank believes.

“Today’s booker isn’t looking for a commoditized roof over their head,” Shank said. “They’re seeking unique and memorable experiences.”

Meanwhile, Suzanne Markham-Bagnera, a former hotel general manager and currently an clinical assistant professor at Boston University’s School of Hospitality Administration, said Name Your Own Price served hotels well, but has outlived its usefulness at a time when most large hotels are pushing direct bookings.

“Indeed this model has served well for a long time, but as frequently noted, the bidding process is time-consuming and guests are looking for speed in addition to the continued rise of last-minute booking options,” Markham-Bagnera said. “I would anticipate the shelf life for the NYOP option would soon be phased out as the speed for which an Express Deal option exists.”

As with Name Your Own Price, she said, with Priceline’s Express Deals, the brand identity “is masked until booking so that the large brands would still be able to play in the sandbox and continue to use Priceline as a distribution channel.”

NEW INFO-GRAPHIC: May is National Masturbation Awareness Month


National Masturbation Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


National Masturbation Day, also known as International Masturbation Day and in Britain and Australia as "Wankers Day", is an annual event celebrated on May 28, to protect and celebrate the right to masturbate. 

The first National Masturbation Day was observed May 7, 1995, after sex-positive retailer Good Vibrations declared the day in honor of Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders, who was fired in 1994 by President Bill Clinton for suggesting masturbation be part of the sex education curriculum for students.
National Masturbation Month

International Masturbation Day has since been expanded to include the entire month of May as International Masturbation Month.

Independent Survey says the Most Popular Sex Toy in the U.S. is...

Whether you’re going solo or looking to spice things up with your partner, sex toys can enhance stimulation and increase pleasure in the bedroom.

But which toy is best? It depends on your personal preferences, but this might give you an idea: 

According to a recent study conducted by Bespoke Surgical, dildos are the sex toy of choice across America, taking the #1 spot on a list of the most popular toys.


To come up with the list, researchers analyzed the search interest in sex toys on Google Shopping. They selected eight broad categories to narrow the results: 

  1. butt plugs
  2. vibrators
  3. dildos
  4. handcuffs
  5. bondage gear
  6. cock rings
  7. male sex toys
  8. strap-ons



The study also focused on the number one toy in individual states and major cities. Strap-ons were the most-searched sex toy in Rhode Island, Delaware, California, and New York. 

People in the Big Apple were most interested in adding cock rings to their cart, while Los Angelenos were on the hunt for bondage gear. Hey, no judgment from us; anything that increases sexual satisfaction also gives your health a boost, and we're all for that. “Sex toys really expand the erotic horizons for people because there are so many different types of devices and ways to use them,” Holly Richmond, PhD, a Los Angeles–based sex therapist, told Health earlier this year.
