Let me tell you the secret(1) put close eyes on your waiters don't allow them enter your fridge to collect drinks by them self no matter how familiar always have a note and Biro when you resume write down the names of each waiters on different column any drinks they collect from you write it down against their column so you don't make mistake ,when taking over from shift count your drinks very well to make sure it is correct......I don't know how your bar is structure because the customer is not to order from you they will order from the waiter then the waiter comes to you and you give the waiter the drinks so the waiter is the one to collect money from the customer and pay you that is why I said be careful with your waiter 283 Likes 20 Shares |

it's simple Bro. seems like you've got a big bar but not bigger than you to manage. You need to identify the source of the shortage(s). it could be you or your serving staff but wherever it's coming from, you'll need proper documentation of sales. taking inventory like opening stock, closing stock, drinks loaded, drinks not loaded, empties inventory, wine, liquor etc day by day, shift by shift will help. I think your serving staff are the ones duping you probably because you're inexperienced but the good thing on your side is that you're the Bar man... you're in charge; Design a new sales system. 1. Each sales girl or boy makes remittance after the shift but if he wants to do that earlier, no wahala but note down, name of remitter, date, time, shift and amount. 2. Get plane sheets of paper or from an exercise book and cut them into complementary card sizes or bigger and place them on the bar or a place reachable to your staff. you can term it requisition card. A serving staff needs drink from you, he/she picks the requisition and states clearly the brands and quantity and also price and the total. must write name and sign. after this, you can now issue the drink and place the requisition in a safe place. 3. at the end of the shift, you sort the requisition staff by staff and total the amount for each staff. that's the amount they'll remit for the shift. remember to note it down too. try this first and let's see. 135 Likes |

served by the barman/barlady alone. To make it worse,the back of the bar have an exit door to the kitchen that is always open. No matter how I position myself to see all the fridges at all times shortage go still show itself the following day. Even the manager na scammer, I have caught him severally manipulating my stocks to give me shortage. I just tire. Do honest people have a living chance in this world at all? 46 Likes |

femi4:Mostly old customers tend to use the bar and few new ones that come there cannot afford any inflation that exceeds #50 on each bottle (our drinks are already expensive enough). When serving potential big guys/men, our manager will start hovering like a fly to know how much you sold the drinks to them. If you add one Naira na problem be that o. Today will make it the second month I'm going empty handed in that company. Jesu!! 5 Likes |

mightychuks:that is where the shortage is coming from that bar is not structure well those waiter will take drinks and not write it down when they pay them they will pocket the money.....even if you are serving also make sure you are the one writing down what each waiter is taking because you are the one giving account don't allow them write it by them self try in today you will see the difference ........shine your eye very well 31 Likes |

mightychuks:my dear forget about the bashing and threats. if you give up easily they will use your head and be getting daily feeding allowances. Man up and put those waiters for their rightful position. If they threaten you tell them that they won't teach you how to do your job after all you weren't the one that taught them You are the oga for bar and if you don't sort this issue out you might end up working only to receive nothing at,the end of the month...Be the change,,you mustn't allow the status quo to remain because you wanna please someone. The waiters are gaining from you by diverting the money.. The manager is also gaining from you by deducting the shortages from your salary and even pocketing some.monkey dy work baboon dy chop.. And finally you are working and at the end of the month you gain nothing instead your salary will be feeding allowance or commission for someone higher in the food chain...USE YOUR HEAD... 50 Likes |
