>> the bar. >> the bar's the best.ery early on, what looks like to be the flaw in this business, too much floor space. you're not a wine discount depot. not enough tables. i don't know that the space is too big. i think the use of the space is wrong. you can cut the retail store in half. your margins would change so dramatically if you could do more wholesale over the web, a little less retail space 'cause you're not getting it anyway, and get to that bar easier. the bar and restaurant has the highest margins in the entire business at nearly 40%, and it makes up 14% of the revenue. the problem is, it only makes up 10% of the square footage. i want to focus on the high margin business, the bar and the restaurant, and minimize the amount of space dedicated to the low margin business, the wine walk-in retail business. i know that if i can add tables and chairs, my margins will go up immediately. but as an owner, you have to be there to connect the dots. the problem that exists today here, there's no leader, and the owners

is still there and so you dart and going to be where the bar is in the bar area. >> the bar area. >> and within, there was a pool table at one time, there was a long. >> that is not there any more. >> it has not been there for -- >> and you are old. >> six years, plus. >> but, yeah, it is in the bar area. and again, our bar is not that active, i mean that it is a good crowd, but, what we are going to do is it takes out about a quarter or a little less than a quarter of the bar just because of the distance between the boards but it is like the back corner. >> i think that it is great. i mean 25th avenue, and so i just to be out there and i think that to know to have a bar out in the boonies it is a challenge and so that space is a great space and i know that previous owner. >> could you tell us what the grand plan is for it once you get your ducks in a row for that? >> yeah, what we had there and where the pool table used to be we, made it into just a vip room. and it for, for before we put in the karaoke in there, it was just for the larger groups. and it was just a larger room by

when those customers leave the bar at the 2:00 a.m. i don't know if you folks have cleaned up a bar after hours our employees don't often get out until 330 in the morning and it's not secrets those employees are casing cash and become targets of violent crimes my mugings. we've seen that a lot. this is lovely to be on an outline line but you can't ask on employee to stand on mission and 25th on mission and caesar chavez with hundreds of dollars in cash waiting for transportation. increasing the night transportation is a critical public safety issue for workers and customers in san francisco. we have more workers living out future because of the rents here. we need to increase their options to get to and from the place of business >> it occurs to me we can enlist if we could pass the bar legislation maybe we can close bars easily to get to bart. >> (clapping) >> we're going to enlist bart in this effort. would you like to speak now, sir? >> i'm bob. i was on the grand jury that on 2000 realized the industry and late night services so i p

we're unsafe after the bars closed people waiting for the rides. i'll end on that and say the t ncs there's 0 thousands of them out there there's obviously a market for that i think there's 14 medallions in the city anti night the cabs would put hoover out of service. there's a support for the market and the t ncs. i've had equally scary rides they can talk about unsafe chiropractors but i've put people in cabs the cabs could put hoover and lift out of business >> thank you very much. any additional - yeah. those are more pins than normal i like it >> i'm laurie live in district of castro district and i go to church in your district supervisor cowen. i'm here everyone is talking about safety if you look at this article how lgbt struggle that the bias and that's in the bar paper this is how we see love of those parties vans we can't go to sleep we also of the those people should pay their fair share and stress we are on safety. look at me right here on february 22nd i was at jashgsz at the complex i get home and look someone's in my room and tied a

where high demand causes prices to rise, and low demand causes prices to drop. >> so if you walk in the bar you see these bright red down arrows, and you see hey, this drink went down 50 cents, 75 cents, a dollar. >> los angeles-based todd schram is the creator and distributor of the drink exchange. >> what that means is the drink prices change based on real time demand. >> if people are buying a lot of bud light, coors light goes down. people buy acca, bourbon goes down. >> they are buying shots they wait until the prices change and then capitalize on the cheaper items. so for them it's a game, sort of a way to influence the happy hour so to speak. >> but there is more to this game than meets the eye. >> more than a game. definitely more that be a game. on the surface but behind the scenes there is a lot of influence that goes on. >> in fact, data analysts like tyler don't even call it a game. they call it gamification, because it uses numbers. >> it's an example of big data in that you are engaging people to do something. >> he says this kind of game is a highly effective tool for collect

for the benefit of the customer or benefit of the bar. that's really the purpose of the game. >> just one tool small businesses can use to get a leg up on the competition and get the job done more efficiently. we recently asked some of our small business viewers to share with us what online tools and apps they're using that gives them the entrepreneurial edge. >> we use an app called tally which tracks all of my expenses and all my travel so at the end of the trip when i get back, all my receipts all have pictures of them, my partner gets them, expense report and it works out great. >> as a small business i come up with a lot of creative ways for me to make my money stretch, and one company who i have had a lot of success working with is invoice. they allow you to do billing on a monthly basis versus having to pay for one year in advance. and through the tools that they have i feel as if it gives me the best flexibility with respect to managing not only my company's practice but also my clients. >> well, great app that we're using is calle

the trail of blood on the sidewalk outside the sp2 communal bar and restaurant puts into perspective how vicious and violent the early morning attack really was. sot- lily tran/left before the attack lily tran says thankfully she left the bar about an hour and a half before san jose police say four people were stabbed. however, investigators won't say if the attack happened in or outside of the establishment. though, off-camera, an empoyee says it took place off- property. police say the stabbing happened at around 12-45 sunday morning in the san pedro square area -- frequented by sharks fans. who instead of focusing on a big playoff game at the tank down the street. were left puzzled, wondering how things got so out of control. that multiple people were stabbed near a popular bar. sot- dan garcia/frequents area sot- lily tran this rickrack the combat ground and from people tran believes the people involved in the attack were in the bar before the victims were injured. in the future, she hopes sp2 makes changes to how people are checked before being allowed inside. knowing that they'r

a lot of people who are at bars and they put their phones down, they leave it on the bar. t's how phones get stolen. i have had to deal with this when i bar tended before. there was a guy that would come in and take phones. this way you know if someone took it. your beer falls over. everything is wet and my phone is gone. but your phone is still gone. it doesn't prevent it. it is cool. >> the thing is, nick, if you have two hands you can still hold the glass in one hand and text with the other hand. this is discriminatory against people with one hand. >> >> or hooks or prosthetics. what about a phone dome? americans created the foam dome. and then you have both hands. >> you don't get laid with that on. >> the night is young. >> why not just make the bar into a giant cage so no electronic signals can get in or out. >> i am the wrong with something wrong, okay. >> there is a reason we have evolved to use our phones at the bar and that's because, and we all know this, but random bar stranger con conversations, some of the times are good, but 60, 70, 80% of the time they are t

>> that's correct, and the bar is high for prime minister nouri al-maliki. he will win, this is a given. the question is how large of a porality. my thinking is the bar is high. there's a lot of resistance. if he gets, let's say, 70 or 80 seats, his bloc, that will be a porality, but it's not a good number for him. he needs more like 90 or more, he and his close allies, because there is in so much resistance for that. then, once the shia as a whole make up a slight majority for all mps in the parliament, once they come up with a nominee, there'll be negotiations with sunni parties and the kurds. >> we'll leave it there. thank you for joining us from oman in jordan. >>> a powerful u.s. senator says he will block usa to egypt. from what he calls sham trials. an egyptian court sentenceded over 400 to death. a number of people want to stop the obama administration administration sending aid to egypt. patty culhane has this report. >> reporter: 683 egyptians sentence said to death in a lightening quick trial. that was one step too far for the u.s. senator patrick

we're raising the bar on flying and tomorrow we will up it yet again. georgia signed a historic guns right bill yesterday. it allows gunowners to carry firearms in public places. including bars, schools and even churches. all rise, judge andrew napolitano is here. it gets me worried. doesn't that get you a little worried? >> yes. it is troublesome. what is equally troublesome is the opposite. knowing that no one there can stop them. they intend to use that weapon either on the owner of the far bar or someone else in the bar. the choice between are we afraid in the bar what we carry our guns, are we afraid only when the bad guy carries our gun. now, the far question is interesting. i am glad you raised it. this statute must be subject to the wishes of the landowner. shortly, this statute could not force him to admit people with guns. surely the owner of the bar could say no guns in here. the property right of the owner. but, what about smoking tobacco? the bar owner does not have the right to say, on in. >> an interesting question. that is because the rig

i'm the president of the bar association of san francisco. i'm also the president of our nonprofit entity, the justice and diversity center formerly known as the volunteer legal services program. i want to thank you for taking public comment on this very important issue. the bar association has been at the forefront of supporting efforts by the city to make legal services available for low-income san franciscans. through our jdc, we provide legal representation to low-income san franciscans with a particular focus on eviction defense, family law, and federal benefits advocacy. our eviction defense services are provided by volunteer attorneys as well as our staff attorneys. what is happening in san francisco? last year, our staff and volunteers provided services, eviction defense services to more than 1300 households. what do those numbers tell us? two things. the first is that legal services for low-income households facing eviction are desperately needed in the city. but there is one other thing that those statistics don't tell us. how many o

police won't say if the fight started inside the bar. no arrests have been made. thousands gathered in the park today to sack--celebrate the legalization of marijuana. after just over a year in place, paying to park in san francisco on sunday's. is no more. kron 4's justine waldman explains. how free parking is back starting in july. and how the s-f-m-t-a came to its decision. so many people wanted to speak at the sfmta board meeting the line went down the hallway. inside, the room was packed. speakers started off trying to convince the board to eliminate paying to park in the city on sundays. at the podium church leaders, who say paying on sundays hurts their parishioners. baptist church sot it intrupts the worship experience if you have to monitor a parking meter paying to feed the meters on sunday started in january 2013. it also created a 4-hour time limited from noon to 6pm. people who wanted to keep enforcement also told the board paying to park on sunday's prevents drivers from circling for spots, and encourages people to take public transportation or walk.

he was also a top litigator and the trailblazers by the national bar association and with the golden gate park law school in a documentary he was featured and hiss he's a parent with children attending public school. it's unfortunate that is a divided in the asian-american you community we have not said there are two qualified lawyers who help with the police department an important commission unfortunately, the board of supervisors has only one seat and i'm supporting this gentleman when i also supported a white gay male when there was another gay candidate. victor is a rare progressive not only as a civil rights attorney but we know sfpd imitating and when we talk about public safety he talks about specifically how we can rise erase the profiles he's worked on hate crimes and domestic violence and police procedures for glgs and done it for two decades. i'd talked about victor's insistence of building mentorships it's a rarest he's caring about listening and relationships. often we need super intelligent people on how to build an important relationship this is important for a person

we started this project end in may of last year, with funding from the d.c. bar foundation now the maryland bar foundation is also on board because maryland and d.c. and virginia as well have seen this problem of notary fraud flourish, whether it's a lack of access to immigration legal services. so what i say is the landscape looks like you don't have -- you have the right to representation but not at the government's expense. so regardless if you're a child who might be qualifying for a special immigrant juvenile status you have no right to counsel in the family law side or the innings side. -- the immigration side, and then if you're in immigration detention you don't have the right to counsel, and so what that is meant is that the services provided are being provided by private attorneys and by nonprofit attorneys who have to have a very high caseload in other to meet demand and keep the cost low. so it's a very challenging practice area as you will soon probably learn if you go into immigration law. what has also happened with immigration law is that the fede

and we can't set the bar so high that we may say, if he does this, well, we won't do anything. welcome he started doing it. as david said and you have reflected and israel will question it. everyone around the world will question our credibility. and then they will also smile and that makes me very worried. >> a lot of the discussion has been about the potential cost of resisting russia. and i would like to ask what would be the cost of not resisting russia. in other words, not just the message that it sends to iran, but also to china and china's neighbors and north korea and democratizing the former soviet republics. >> would you like to start? >> yes, happy to do so. and this is my very point. the alternative to the sanctions and we are already seeing the war starting in ukraine and there is no reaction here. i find that it is extremely dangerous and i think that we have a situation now which is worse than this in vienna in june of 1961. >> andrew, what do you think? >> i think it is hard to say and i think they all know is the start of the situation and there's a lot of and

the fact that they were at a bar. left the bar. s bar is known in that particular town to have 30 surveillance videos. detectives do that for fist fights. purse snatchings. here you have some one saying, they were sexually assaulted. the fact that the detective didn't get the video. it is appalling. i don't understand. there is no excuse for it. >> jessica, do you read that entirely a function of the power of football in the community? >> no. i don't. i mean i want to florida state. over a decade ago. and i recognize the bar that they talk about in the piece and sort of alcohol culture. and none of that seems to have changed. but the fact that he is a football player, i think probably exacerbated everything in the case. maybe a little more extreme. but 20% of women who go to college, before they leave, are raped. there are huge problems with reporting on college campuses because of instances like this. women don't feel comfortable coming forward and going to the authorities. we know that -- possibly, more than 10% of high school gir

. >> but what we are talking about here is what is the bar for getting under or over -- for avoiding the process? because the process is so onerous? and i have to take issue with this idea that the number of outlets necessarily defines your economies of scale. sf soup company, i can tell you because of some other activities that we are doing, we have looked at their financials. they operate on an extraordinarily skinny margin to say that they are a big guy on the block is not the proper characterization. it is still a very small business. on the flipside, pet food express, a company that is revered by its customers for customer service and its outreach to the community and all that it does for charity was denied access. and a company that started here in san francisco, albeit it moved out of the city. so i don't think that we can say that the good ones will automatically get through and the bad ones won't and that the small ones are really small or the large ones are really as large as they seem to be, because they are not. so to your point, yes, we need to fix the process. because wh
