Chris Schneider, The Bar Business Coach

If running your bar feels like everything still runs through you, that’s a problem that only gets bigger over time. Being great at the work often turns into being stuck doing all of it.

In this episode, we break down why bar owners get trapped as the bottleneck and how to change that by building leaders instead of just filling shifts.

You’ll learn how to identify real management potential, avoid common promotion mistakes, and put a simple 90-day leadership system in place.

If you want a stronger team, fewer fires, and a bar that runs well without constant oversight, this episode will point you in the right direction.
