Reminds me of Myrtle Beach 20 years ago when the law was that they had to use the single shot bottles when making mixed drinks to prevent âheavyâ, âlightâ or âwatered downâ pours.
I donât drink, but having my own mini-bartender might be interesting enough to pay for the up-charge. As long as he leaves for the night before I go to bed, and doesnât return until after breakfast.
A close and long-term friend has owned sever al bars in the past. Many moons ago, he explained the financial aspect:
A quart of liquor has a fixed wholesale price. It contains 32 oz of fluid. The rule of thumb is to charge enough per 2-oz drink to pay for the wholesale cost of the bottle within 3 to 4 drinks. After paying the costs of place and license, the rest is profit. If the owner also is the bar-tender, itâs rather difficult to not make money on the deal.
Of course, thatâs also presuming the place is not so popular, and that a bouncer is not required. Same goes for having to have a waiter/waitress â or at least one who is on salary. My friend was his own bar-keep, and any service person was there to earn tips, not a salary.

Buy your own at a bodega and bring it into your room if you need a drink. Unless youâre the CEO. Then the stockholders pay for it.

Havenât seen a mini-bar in years. I suspect there are fewer people traveling on the companyâs nickel, so it isnât worth it to the hotel.
Alverant over 1 year ago
How much will the hotel charge if he just sits at the bar?

First, terrific art work.
Second, three bar stools? So a little woman can sit at one end and reject him?
