The Bartending Blueprint Beats The Competition

*PRESS RELEASE* April 5, 2011

One of the first things you’ll notice if you’ve ever looked into attending a bartending school, is the shear numbers of schools out there. In most towns there are 2-3 bartending schools with in a short drive of each other. In some areas, there can be as many as 10 or more with in an hours drive of each other.

If you are or have considered this idea, common questions always come up in your head…

“Is there a bartending license in my state and do I have to get one?”
“Is this a waste of my money?”
“Will it work?”
Is this a waste of my money?

Which are all normal questions and very important for any past, present, or future potential bartending school attendees to answer.

Yet when comparing the cost of any bartending education against say the cost of a higher education at a traditional college, bartending programs are vastly superior in their ability to give people a massive amount of actionable, start-working-tomorrow type of steps for a fraction of the price.

Learning to work as a bartender is like having recession job insurance; during the good times people party, and in bad times people gather to drink their sorrows away. So no matter what happens, you’re always making money.

And what if you where thinking of getting trained, where would be the best place to get proper professional training? Should you go to a new cutting edge online bartending program where you learn everything right in your own home, or a traditional bartending school that you actually drive to attend and work into your schedule? Which ever you choose, learning how to be a professional bartender is one of the best investments you can make into your own future well being.

Lets weight the options, a traditional bartending school vs learning online:

Traditional Bartending School – Even at $300 – $1000, bartending school tuition is something that most people have to do some budgeting for before they can attend any classes. This obviously sucks because if you’re interested in becoming a bartender, saving up for the tuition pushes back the time line for how soon you can get started.

Oh but what amazing times we live in today.

We are so lucky to live in todays world because we the greatest learning and sharing tool ever invented: the internet.

Online Bartending School – Right now this very second, there are online bartending programs that offers real world alternatives for people who are excited about the fact that they can get everything they need to have success while also saving as much as 90% or more over traditional brick and mortar schools, all from a website.

The issue with these most sites is they often contain the same outdated material the traditional schools teach where most of the drinks and terminology being taught are outdated for todays bars. This is why we are so proud to offer a site that stands above the rest in terms of price, quality, service and professionalism, the BartendingBlueprint.com.

The Bartending Blueprint website offers the most accurate, real life bartending education you can find on or offline.

The creator of the site is Jason Shurtz, a 13+ year veteran of bartending and a straight to the point, no bs kinda guy. He has worked for over 13 years in some of the busiest bars in Southern California (one of the top 3 most competative markets for bartending professionals in the US) so had cut his teeth in an area of fierce competition.

Now he is stirring the pot with the Bartending Blueprint website  by calling-out the traditional bartending schools and online programs for having grossly outdated material being sold for ridiculously high prices. We have built an cutting edge site with the blatant commitment to redefine how YOU can receive a bartending education and get a job.

Jason says the best thing about getting formal training is it gives you confidence, but he hesitates when asked what his honest opinion is of traditional bar schools,

“They’re not my favorite for sure. I mean, I don’t have anything against anyone, but I’ve seen what is taught in those schools. Hey, I taught at one for a short period! The main problem with all bartending schools is they focus on what most people think they need to learn…lots of drinks. The truth is to get a job you need to understand your role as a bartender within the context of the business that you’re trying to work at, and how you can contribute to that businesss.”

And while Jason also says it would be tough to get hired at the biggest club in town overnight, he does say that ANYONE can get started earning money and gaining experience literally, today.

He goes on to say this about the job…

[content_box_paper_white width=”80%”]”It’s this whole idea of mysticism, like bartending is rocket science or something. It’s not, it’s just bartending. There are only two people you have to worry about as a working bartender…

1. Your boss.

and

2. Your customer.

As long as you keep those people happy, they could care less how you do pour drinks, or what fancy name you call it. Do your job well by being fast, always staying positive, and helping create a unique customer experience…do that and life will be very good for any bartender”.[/content_box_paper_white]

The approach at the Bartending Blueprint is not the traditional idea of focusing on everything you can learn, but instead offering their customers an accelerated success learning system that specifically focuses on the most important factors necessary in the real world bars of today. That means NOT being forced to learn 200 outdated drinks that you’ll never make.

Most people have no idea that bartenders only make a core 10-15 drinks on a regular basis, if that. Maybe they work somewhere where the bar, club or restaurant has an extensive list of custom in house drinks; in that case there may be like 20 drinks they could make regularly.

But even then, most drinks are similar versions of the 3-5 basic core fundamental drinks. So what BartendingBlueprint.com has done is effectively eliminated 75% of the pointless information that students are taught in traditional bartending schools.

Jason is committed to keeping the costs of a top quality professional bartending eduction affordable for everyone, ranging from free with all the video’s on the Bartending Pro Youtube Channel to under $20 here. “The schools will hate me because I teach for free what they charge $300, $500, $1000 or more for. The only way my customers pay is after they have learned everything and then want help finding a job. So basically, anyone could use our site and learn almost everything you will find in any book or school today. That way, you can take advantage of this top quality program without breaking the bank”.

At a fraction the cost of most programs, The Bartending Blueprint is very accessible to students or anyone tight on funds.

Probably the most amazing thing about The Bartending Blueprint are the techniques that allow anyone to start working and making their first $100-$200 within 48hrs of enrolling.“We have a secret technique that allows anyone, even if you’ve never poured a drink in your life, that will have anyone working and earning money in 48 hrs,” Jason boasts.

I won’t spoil the ending of how he does it, but I can assure you that no one anywhere, on or offline, is teaching this stuff.

And finally, for those who really want their hand held during the whole process, it’s even possible to hire Jason for private one on one coaching.
