For the first time ever, qualified candidates are now afforded the opportunity to join us in business by using our revolutionary profit enhancing solutions in order to build their own successful and thriving businesses. Operating since 1999, Barmetrix has earned a long history of renewal and retention of clients, which demonstrates market confidence in our ability to deliver results and quickly become ‘part of the team’. We are a company with a proven history of helping hospitality businesses to harvest more profit and increase customer satisfaction simultaneously. It’s a win-win relationship that we invite you to embark on.
Selection Process
Our success to date has been a result of attracting excellent people to the Barmetrix business. We intend to continue that trend through our franchises. Arriving at suitable new Barmetrix business owners is an extremely important decision - one which involves a careful interview and approval process. Though it may prove useful in several applications, a background in hospitality is not imperative due to the strength of our comprehensive training program (see details below). Having said that, not everyone who applies for a franchise will be successful with their application. What Barmetrix finds most appealing in an applicant is one who has the necessary entrepreneurial drive, management skills, financial means and dedication to meet our objectives for mutual success! To submit an application for a BARMETRIX franchise, please complete the attached PDF file and return it to the appropriate franchise office below.
Training Program
In addition to an intensive six week Barmetrix Training Program, comprising both in-class and practical training, fully comprehensive manuals have also been developed for your induction into Barmetrix. Add to this our online learning system, and you'll start to get a picture of how we ensure our team has the competitive edge. The franchisee will learn directly from senior management, on all aspects of the business - from the use of our proprietary software and systems, to business development and sales and consulting. The Barmetrix Training Program is followed by regular additional educationals on an array of subjects to further the knowledge and development of the franchisee. Ongoing education in your field of expertise is key to your success and we're here to help you achieve your goals!

With corporate offices in Australia, USA, UK and Canada we have you covered.

It is a great opportunity to meet with senior management and discuss one-on-one your personal business needs and share your successes with all.
Quick FAQs

Why don’t bar managers do this job themselves?
Most do not have the tools, time or passion to do the job. A hospitality manager is generally so busy doing urgent jobs that important ones like this generally slip through the cracks.
How long do clients stay with you?
That all depends on the service you provide. As an example, Barmetrix Sydney still services its original clients from 1999.
How do staff and managers at the bars feel about the service?
Barmetrix is in the business of making bars stronger and more profitable. Most staff members enjoy the transparency that this sort of service provides.
Why has this service become so popular amongst hospitality operators?
Outsourcing is becoming more popular as bars become more difficult to run and profit from. Gone are the days of stocking one type of gin, one bourbon and one vodka. Inventory control for hundreds of products takes special tools and skill. That is what we bring to the table.
How is Barmetrix different than other services that offer inventory control services?
Barmetrix is the market leader on solutions. We have earned a reputation for increasing profits – not counting bottles! We use a 3 step process.
- Create timely accurate reports, on site.
- Work with management to help them understand and decipher the reports and
- Offer advice/solutions to correct issues that are causing the erosion of profits. That is the Barmetrix Advantage!

Considering a franchise?
Why is franchising one of the fastest growing market segments in the world?
Droves of people become franchise owners on a daily basis around the world – people who are ready to become their “own boss” and want a proven system to take to market.
The freedom to run a successful business from home, away from corporate business pressures and with more time for your family is becoming the way of the future. Barmetrix offers you an outstanding opportunity to do just that. Running your own business means being directly rewarded for your efforts. You can keep it simple or build a team around yourself.
Why are home based franchises so popular?
Barmetrix is a business-to-business service franchise that is ideal to run out of a home office. Being able to keep overheads down simply means stronger profits. While some prefer to have a small office space, others would rather not incur the expense. Even if you had an office, most (if not all)Barmetrix meetings with clients would still be held at their venue.
Why choose Barmetrix?

We will discuss every aspect of the business with you, from staff training to lifestyle changes, as well as introduce you to other franchisees who can give you first-hand information and advice on being a franchisee. This is a big decision and making the right choice is imperative. - Franchisee training
A complete training program will be professionally coordinated and structured to suit your specific training needs. Your training will include in-house administration, marketing, operations, management and staff training.

Barmetrix is fully committed to Research and Development and will continue to evolve our tools and process. The world of business is constantly evolving and the pace increases each year. Our head office team is proud of the systems we have (which place us light years ahead of our competition) but are never satisfied, constantly making improvements and developing new systems to strengthen our offer. - Team selection and training
Some Barmetrix offices employ over 20 part-time and full-time staff while others operate as a “one man show”. Selecting and employing the right people to run a successful business is a cruical task. Staff recruitment criteria and guidelines are laid out for you to follow. Help and advice from our Franchise Support Team is only a phone call away. - Part of an elite team
When it comes to customer service and value for money, Barmetrix prides itself on being the best in the business! Our head office works relentlessly to find new and exciting ways to improve service to our clients but the real secret to our success is in our franchisees, senior consultants and account managers. Barmetrix has a wonderful team atmosphere and together there are not many issues that we cannot solve. - You're in business 'for yourself' but not 'by yourself'
Statistics prove that starting a small business is not easy. That is why franchising has proven to be a success for so many people. The Barmetrix system offers group support and continued open and honest communication. It also offers training in general business practices such as bookkeeping, sales and other key functions that will determine your success. However, it's always important to understand the risks. So before entering into a Barmetrix franchise it is important you understand your obligations, and both the 'up side' and 'down side' of being part of a franchised group. - Direct access to the top
Barmetrix is committed to the success of all of our franchisees and employees. The entire team is here to help you achieve your goals. If for any reason you did not feel that you were getting the right answers fast enough, you are asked to call our Managing Director, Sean Finter on his direct mobile number for immediate resolution. All new franchisees are given his number and encouraged to use it when they feel it necessary. Sean does not believe in bureaucracy or wasting time. There is a solution to every issue and together we will find it.

Management Experience – Success as a small business owner is dependant on your interaction with others. Your daily dealing with your clients, staff and suppliers will determine your level of success.
