I popped my bar cherry last night by volunteering to work on a pay bar for a private party (60th birthday).

We took £998 (two of us) from 30 or 40 people over 6 hours, we were not overworked and being on my feet nonstop from 5:30pm until 12:30am was absolutely not a problem - perhaps the wading and rowing helped who knows.

At 70% profit I can see the OSC absolutely working given my low personal running costs - it was such a brilliant affirmation that the next chapter might be a good call.

The EPOS system was intuitive the toughest part was managing the glasses and finding the right one for the right beer.

It wasn't a big venue but given the age group most of them would be double-jabbed (including me) and we had the doors open - I guess I'll know in a few days.

There is a chance I can run the bar on quiet nights as a proto-OSC to try out ideas with minimal risk - my only concern is in building the business for someone else but its better to try and fail on someone else's dollar as you get more goes ;o)
