Shot Girls & Shot Sellers for Bars, Clubs and Events

A trained sales team on your floor, paid only on what they sell.

Most venues call them shot girls. We call them shot sellers, because our teams include men and women and because the job is selling, not serving. Either way it is the same role: a trained, commission-motivated salesperson working your floor while your bar team works the bar.

It is the lowest-risk revenue line a late-night venue can add. There is no upfront fee, no retainer and no hourly rate — you provide the product, we provide the team, and you are paid for everything sold at the end of the night.

How it works

The model is deliberately simple, because a service that creates work for your management team does not survive contact with a busy Saturday.

  • Our shot sellers arrive at your venue with all of their own equipment.
  • You provide the product from your own stock, so you keep control of what is sold and at what margin.
  • The team works your floor for the shift, managed by our in-house team rather than yours.
  • At the end of the night, payment for everything sold is settled straight to the venue, in your preferred payment method.

Why floor sales outperform the bar for shots

A shot is an impulse purchase. The person who buys a round of four at 12:40am was not planning to, and would not have queued for it. Selling on the floor removes the queue from the decision entirely.

The knock-on effect is a shorter bar queue for everyone else, which raises satisfaction across the room and lets your bar staff concentrate on higher-value orders. Venues consistently report the atmosphere lift as well as the revenue — a good seller is a piece of entertainment in their own right.

Trained, not just recruited

We combine industry-leading sales training with responsible service education, including Challenge 25 and Drinkaware. Our sellers are working in front of your customers and on your licence, and they are briefed to behave accordingly.

Because they are commission-based, they are fully incentivised to keep selling for the whole shift rather than coasting on an hourly rate. That alignment is the entire reason the model works.

Shot Girls & Shot Sellers — your questions

What does it cost to have shot girls in my venue?

Nothing upfront. The service is commission-only, so there is no booking fee and no hourly rate — you pay commission on shots actually sold.

Do we provide the stock?

Yes. You supply the product from your own stock and keep control of pricing and margin. Our sellers bring all of their own equipment.

When do we get paid?

At the end of every night. Payment for all product sold is settled to the venue in your preferred payment method, with no invoicing cycle to chase.

Will it clash with my bar team?

In practice it relieves them. Every shot sold on the floor is a round that is not queueing at the bar, which shortens waits and frees your bar staff for higher-value orders. Our sellers coordinate with your floor and bar staff throughout the shift.

Is my venue the right fit?

Shot sellers work best on a busy floor with a late licence and a standing, social crowd — nightclubs, late bars, student venues and event nights. If you are unsure, the answer usually comes out of a short call about your busiest night.
