BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Profitable, great books, organized systems! Great investment!!

BarBees is a mobile cocktail class company bringing hands-on experiences to any occasion, in any location within one of our 8 regions. BarBees cocktail classes are available both in-home and virtually for bachelorette parties, corporate team-building, or for any other on-site celebration. BarBees is a well-established business, with nearly 6 years of strong brand development, profitability, operational structure and processes, thousands of marketing assets, and low overhead and operational costs, making it an excellent investment. BarBees was featured on Shark Tank in early 2024.

After nearly six action-packed years of running BarBees we’ve decided that it’s time for us to sell the company. These have been the most fulfilling years of our lives – we built a bigger and better business than we ever dreamed of in 8 regions across the US. We are so proud of what we’ve created and truly believe in BarBees’ mission to create connection and celebration through cocktails. However, life is taking our careers in different directions now, and we’re hoping to find someone who we can pass the torch to.

The founders have each been contributing only 5-10 hours per week – to maintain revenue, a new owner could remain pretty hands off. We’ve got the structure and the processes dialed in – it really is a fantastic investment. There is significant growth potential, we just don’t have the bandwidth to grow it as rapidly as we’d like, with our other commitments. We are hoping to find the perfect buyer by the end of the year.

We have a robust training and onboarding system. We have a 90 minute video training course accompanied by written curriculum, which familiarizes our instructors with recipes from the cocktails on our menu, BarBees history, general bartending knowledge, and more. Instructors are presented with quizzes at the end of every section.

Please note: this is an open and operating business. Please be respectful and do not make any attempt to contact or speak to staff or management.

Facilities
We have no real estate – we are completely mobile. Our legal address is a PO Box in Nashville, but the owners currently live in NYC and South Florida. Assets include cocktail class kits (shakers, muddlers, citrus squeezers, bowls, cooler bags, etc.) for each of our 25 instructors, as well as 20 additional kits located at the founders' houses for new hires. Assets also include our proprietary training platform and booking processes. See the description for more information. Additionally, we have 7,000 followers on Instagram.
Competition
We're the only cocktail class company in as many cities as we're in – and we're one of the few mobile cocktail class companies on the market. About 50% of our business comes from corporate groups and another 50% comes from bachelorette parties.
Growth & Expansion
We have an operations director and approximately 25 part-time cocktail class instructors across all nine of our cities. The founders have each been contributing only 5-10 hours per week – to maintain revenue, a new owner could remain pretty hands off. We’ve got the structure and the processes dialed in – it really is a fantastic investment. There is significant growth potential, we just don’t have the bandwidth to grow it as rapidly as we’d like, with our other commitments. We are hoping to find the perfect buyer by the end of the year.
Support & Training
The BarBees team will offer owner support and training to guarantee a low lift transition. We have a Director of Operations who will support the transition, and is willing to stay in her role with new ownership. We have very strong SOPs – every process and procedure is documented!
