Profile

Vaibhav Gupta, Bar & Beverage Consultant

Low cost. High profit. Unforgettable pours.

A high-impact Beverage Artist and hospitality specialist with more than 25 years of hands-on leadership across Asia, the Middle East and North America. He has repeatedly elevated beverage performance by driving higher average per cover while significantly reducing costs.

A graduate of IHM Pusa, New Delhi, with formal wine sommelier training, his signature strength is beverage presentation and cocktail design. He has launched new concepts with some of the highest revenue-generating bars and nightclubs in Dubai, India and Toronto — and secures sponsorships that amplify visibility and revenue.
