About Us

Bar Optimizer was created by Gregg Hanour, founder of two iconic nightspots in Southern California––the Shark Club (Costa Mesa) and Metropolis (Irvine). After retiring from the club business, Hanour started a bar consulting company. The first order of business was developing the Zone Alcohol Practices for Management and Owners™ (ZAPMO) seminar. The executive level training identifies sound alcohol management practices and demonstrates – by using proprietary algorithms grounded in research studies – how these practices are financially beneficial. In working with dozens of bar owners, he came to identify common problems. To help his clients maximize their bar profits, he created BarOptimizer.com™. In providing secret shopper services and conducting bartender workshops, Hanour empowers clients with information to make more money, reduce liability risks, and improve customer service.
 
 

What our clients say

I’ve used all of the Bar Optimizer services. As a result, my business has significantly more bar profit, less exposure to liability, and improved customer service. I highly recommend each service. Larry Houser, Owner, Bourbon Street (Fullerton)
Gregg has taken the time to do some extensive research and the information he has is very valuable to any operator. I included my bartenders in the training and they all found the experience to be both eye opening and helpful. I'm glad I did it. Jeremy Popoff, Owner, SlideBar (Fullerton)
Gregg's research and statistics provided a thorough overview of our industry. Specifically, the information concerning pour costs clearly proved how an operator/owner can reduce intoxification problems while increasing profits and the bottom line at the same time. We highly recommend all those in the industry attend this most valuable seminar. James Nanko, Owner, Hurricanes (Huntington Beach)
The GAPMO seminar was full of useful information and firsthand knowledge from an experienced operator. The unique concepts backed by thorough research and statistics have proven that you can truly increase the bottom line across several expense line items while adhering to his serving responsibly program - a real eye opener for our management teams. Dan Bradley, Managing Partner, Memphis Group (Costa Mesa)
