My name is Bryan Lofton, and I've spent more than 12 years working in the hospitality industry, building my career behind the bar and serving guests throughout the Atlanta area. What began as a way to earn a living eventually became a skill that opened doors to greater income opportunities, flexibility, networking, and entrepreneurship.
Over the years, I've worked in a variety of bar environments, learned what employers are really looking for, and discovered how someone with little or no experience can position themselves to get hired faster. Today, I continue to work as a bartender while also operating my own business, providing bartending services, cocktail education, and hospitality training.
I created The Fast Track to Bartending to help beginners avoid the confusion, mistakes, and wasted time that often come with trying to break into the industry. This guide combines practical knowledge, real-world experience, and proven strategies designed to help you gain confidence, learn the fundamentals, and take the first steps toward earning income behind the bar.
If you're looking for a flexible skill that can create new opportunities and additional income, this book was written for you.
