As we wave farewell to 2018 and look toward the New Year we want to take a moment to reflect on the past 12 months.

When we look at the most popular articles published this year we see what resonated with you the most. Staff management, opening a new venue, strengthening management, improving as a leader, menu programming, and boosting revenue were among the top subjects for this year. Below you’ll find a list of the top 18 (yes, for 2018—aren’t we clever?) posts of 2018.

As we close out the year and prepare for 2019, let’s finish strong and keep that momentum through next year. We're honored that you trust us to bring you top-level, actionable operation advice. Thank you. We’re looking forward to continuing this journey with you next year and we hope to see you in Las Vegas from March 25 through March 27 for the 2019 Nightclub & Bar Show. Cheers!
