Back by popular demand again, Nightclub & Bar board member Michael Tipps and the Invictus Hospitality (IH) team detail the journey of taking a first-time NCB attendee all the way to opening their first bar. Sitting in the audience of this same session last year, Sandor Pap and his team were just weeks away from beginning the process of opening his first bar in Daytona, Florida. Already a successful businessperson, he had put together a solid team, selected a location, produced renderings, and created menus.

After sitting in the two-hour seminar, Sandor and his team solicited the expertise of the IH and everything changed dramatically from that point forward. The business plan evolved in every way- from name, concept, location, budget and even the team. This year’s seminar includes the entire Invictus Hospitality team along with Sandor Pap, Chuck Singleton, and Tony Puskas detailing why they made these changes and how it has set them up for success.

The hospitality secrets that can’t simply be “googled” about opening a bar or restaurant will be revealed through a real-life working example, in real-time, with real people. Regardless if you are an experienced operator who is looking to refresh the concept, need to find some inspiration, or if you dream of having your own bar or restaurant, then this seminar will not disappoint. Will you be the one to be featured on stage next year?
