This document discusses techniques for increasing bar profitability through efficient design and layout. It introduces the concept of "Designbuild", which aims to create custom bar designs tailored to each business based on operational needs and best practices from around the world. Key aspects of Designbuild include analyzing requirements, developing efficient workflows, optimizing equipment placement, and creating intelligent systems to maximize throughput and customer service while minimizing costs. Sample Designbuild projects for bars and nightclubs are presented to illustrate how the approach has been applied. An interview form is included to collect details from potential clients to inform customized Designbuild proposals.

5. Profitability
If every bar in the city
measures profitability with
the same approach,
what is the chance to
perform in a superior
manner by any?
Profitability is measured
by another factor. We’d
like to show you other
side of the coin.
Profitability measures not
by ‘What’ you do, instead
by the ‘Way’ you do.
While your teams focus
on what is needed to be
done, there is rarely an
expertise developed for
the way it is done. The
best practice.
A team may pick up a
good practice locally,
but we as a global
developer pick up the
A bar’s profitability is
measured by the number of
patrons it can serve, the
hours it is open, and the

best practices from all
over the world and build
our techniques.
Working with brands in
the industry of hotels,
nightlife entertainment
chains, restaurants, brew
houses, we fix issues and
innovate regularly in one
area – the bar.
Barflo is the technique
developed in creating
the Way you can work to
increase profitability.
If the Way you do is not
good enough for What
you do, then whatever
you do will not deliver it’s
expected result.
Don’t let that happen.
7. Aim
To build a profitable bar that
is responsive to its individual
environment, custom
designed to it’s own
business model, by creating

9. Insight
Understanding the science
behind bar design, and not
the measurement of space
to place bar equipment.
It is to give advantage by
pre-plan to the restaurant to
continuously operate
profitably through efficiency
and excellence.
10. Method
Take the shortest route to
creation of drinks and
service.
Multi points of sale to
increase capacity for busy
days.
Plan space management
with potent bar features by
applying Designbuild Goals
throughout the bar plan.
11. Intelligence
Bar equipment resources
are rarely available with
general practitioners in
order to provide each bar
an individuality.
The designbuild is a
movement to create
perfect bars, tailormade to
the utmost detail for the
customer’s operations.
