Small Space, Big Dreams
Have you ever seen a bar that is very tiny? Some bars are as small as a closet! But these small bars can do big things. They can make lots of money and make people very happy.
Let’s learn how a very tiny bar can have really large ambitions. We will see how small bars use smart ideas to grow big.
Why Small Bars Can Win
Small bars can win big. They use space well. They pick the best drinks. They make people feel good when they visit.
Here are some ways small bars win:
- They use every inch of space
- They pick the best drinks to sell
- They make the bar look and feel special
- They get supplies fast and cheap
- They find ways to grow bigger
Let’s look at each of these ways.
Using Every Inch of Space
Small bars must use space well. A bar in Los Angeles, USA called Helen’s Pub is only 12 square meters (about 130 square feet). That’s smaller than most bedrooms! But they make it work.
How do they do it? They put wall shelves up high. This saves 40% of their work space. They can use the floor for people to stand and talk.
Smart Space Use Ideas:
- Up, not out – Use walls and high spaces
- Fold-away parts – Tables that fold down when needed
- Multi-use tools – One tool that does many jobs
Our Metal Ice Bucket is perfect for small bars. It hangs on walls to save counter space!
Table: Space Use in Tiny Bars
| Space Saver | How It Helps | Space Saved |
|---|---|---|
| Wall-mounted shelves | Keep bottles off counters | 40% |
| Hanging ice buckets | Free up counter space | 15% |
| Fold-down tables | Only use space when needed | 25% |
| Vertical storage | Use height instead of width | 30% |
Picking the Best Drinks to Sell
Small bars can’t sell every drink in the world. They must pick the best ones. Many use the “Golden 20 Rule“. This means they pick just 20 types of drinks that sell the most.
The Panda Bar in New York makes more money per square meter than most big bars. They make $18,300 per square meter each month. That’s 230% more than most bars!
How do they do this? They pick drinks that:
- Sell fast
- Have good profit
- Make people want to come back
They also teach people to make drinks in small classes after dinner time. People pay extra for these fun classes!
Making the Bar Feel Special
When a bar is tiny, it must feel special. People want to visit places that make them feel good.
Young people (ages 20-34) love small bars. They make up 81% of night-time visitors to small bars.
These young people share pictures of cool-looking bars online.
Ways to Make Your Bar Special:
- Special lights that change colors
- Good music that fits the mood
- Custom bar mats with your logo (Our Custom Logo Bar Mat can help!)
- Clean, safe tools that look good
Bars that use LFGB certified tools (very clean and safe) get 92% fewer complaints.
People notice when bars care about being clean!
Getting Supplies Fast and Cheap
Small bars need good supplies at good prices. They can’t store lots of extra stuff.
In Los Angeles, USA, small bars get new supplies in just 48 hours, 98.7% of the time. This means they never run out of what they need.
Smart Supply Ideas:
- Order just enough – Not too much or too little
- Work with good suppliers – Find ones that deliver fast
