Hire A Bar Tender
I’m going to open a Irish pub i will have a book keeper for pay roll and bills but i want to hire a manager
the manager will be in charge of waitresses bar tenders cooks dishwashers etc, will hire fire as well as set schedules etc. i prefer her or him to be a working waitress meaning they will be a waitress also the business is in an upscale area with yuppy people can someone tell me how much i should offer for this position
I own a country club which also includes a restaurant. I’m not sure what type of sales volume you are anticipating. However, the profit margins in restaurants are typically very small.
Overall salary expense for a restaurant should run around 25% of sales. Food costs (depending on your menu) should run between 25% and 35%
I’m not sure what you see as your roll in the operation, but it sounds like you want this manager to hire, supervise, train, schedule, order and inventory, cash control and basically run your entire business. If you want this manager to oversee the kitchen, he or she should ideally also be able to cook. It sounds to me like a pretty big job.
I am in New Hampshire. In order to get a person of this caliber in my area, you would need to pay an absolute minimum of $45,000.00 per year. That would not include any health insurance, worker’s compensation and federal and other taxes. You can add another 25% load onto this salary to estimate these costs.
Running a restaurant is not easy and as a business, has one of the highest failure rates. Although I own the country club, I work “hands-on” in the restaurant operation to make sure everything runs smoothly. I typically put in 80 hours a week running my business. I’ve been in the country club business for 10 years. I owned another business prior for 12 years.
I wish you the best of luck with your new venture!
