I like this idea a lot and am even considering doing it! I have been to a lot of
parties and weddings lately and noticed that having an "open bar" is getting
rather popular. In other words you can pay for someone to set up a small wet bar
and distribute drinks to the party guests. I know your thinking, NO WAY! Stay
with me on this one. I have seen small open bars get paid as much as $3000.00
for 4-5 hours of work! PLUS you get tips! O.K. you say, how do I get started?
Getting Started:
You are going to need to either build a small bar or buy one from a furniture
outlet. You can pick one up pretty cheap, check your local classifieds to see if
someone might be selling one. If you are not familiar with mixing drinks I
recommend buying a book on it. You don't need to know EVERY drink out there,
just the basics. Once you have learned the basic drinks you can go out and
slowly start purchasing your alcohol. This can be a little expensive at first,
but you can always require a deposit from the client so you can purchase the
alcohol up front. Just like ANY business you need a license. Now, I am not 100%
positive (I'll leave the investigating up to you) what type of licensing you
will need to serve alcohol. Once you have your license squared away, wouldn't a
nice uniform look fantastic? I recommend wearing what the occasion calls for! If
it is formal wear a cute altered tux of your choice. Get creative! You will get
a lot more business from other guests attending the party if you look good! Now
for advertising. I recommend the phone book and classified ads. A nice web-page
would work too. Go around to party and wedding shops and ask if you can leave a
display of your business cards. I can say that this market is really small and
you probably don't have a lot of competition. This type of work is usually done
on the weekends. Wouldn't earning $1000.00 to $3000.00 in one weekend be
wonderful? This type of business requires a "catering license" in order to serve
alcohol. You can inquire about this type of license from your local licensing
agency. This type of business requires a "catering license" in order to serve
