Dave Nitzel has a background in the corporate world, and in joining Barmetrix he was able to bring his knowledge of logistics, stock control and management to the busy and often crazy world of bar and restaurant operations. It’s always good to have an experienced outsider bring some perspective to this industry!

We had a wide-ranging discussion about time management, improving personal and employee productivity, the real work of business owners, and overcoming the ‘badge of honour’ thinking about long hours of work equalling dedication and achievement.

Dave’s 3 P’s framework for improving time management and reducing stress make sense for people at all levels of your business. It’s well worth acquiring his excellent book Bar Shift for your own education and for training staff. I learned a lot from this conversation.
