How to Build a Profitable Neighborhood Bar from Scratch with Zach Yurchuck of Truck & Tap

A lot of people think you need years of bar experience to open or run a successful bar.

That assumption keeps a lot of people stuck or broke.

Today, I’m talking with Zach Yurchuck of Truck & Tap, who helped build a profitable, multi-location neighborhood bar brand without coming from the bar industry.

We get into why smaller bars often outperform big ones, why hiring for personality beats hiring for experience, and how clear systems make both staff and guests happier.

If you run a bar, want to open one, or are trying to grow without burning out your team, this episode will give you perspective you can actually apply.
