Raise the Bar: An Action-Based Method for Maximum Customer Reactions
"A fascinating and practical guide to what actually makes a bar into a great bar (and much can be applied to any service business). Jon doesn’t present ‘canned’ answers, he provides a way of methodically evaluating and challenging every aspect of what lies behind a great bar. He seamlessly blends data-backed insights with hard earned experience to create a template of how to construct a plan for success. It is so refreshing to read something which doesn’t present standard answers to non-standard issues." —Nick Shepherd, CEO Carlson restaurants/TGI Fridays"When I was young and still learning the nightclub and bar business, I always went to Jon’s seminars and learned so much. Jon Taffer really had a big impact on me and my success and I still think of things he taught me. This book can do the same for you. It’s fun but make no mistake, Jon is all business as he fills the pages with great stories, practices and his proven formula for success." —Jesse Waits, Managing Partner of XS Nightclub, TRYST Nightclub, Botero Restaurant, Las Vegas
