Run Your Bar Like a Business
Not a Fire Drill
Simple plug-and-play systems that help independent bars and restaurants stay organized, cut waste, and grow profits - without software, subscriptions, or spreadsheets.
Built for bars doing under $2M/year that need rhythm, not more reports.
Built by Bar Owners, Proven in the Field
“After 15 years owning and running three completely different concepts - a sports bar, a craft-beer and wine lounge, and even a bikini bar! I got tired of spreadsheets, guesswork, and managers doing things ‘their way.’ Dive Bar Academy is everything I wish I’d had back then - simple, repeatable systems that actually work in real bars.”
David Corbitt, Founder, Dive Bar Academy
15 years of ownership experience
Designed systems inside working bars - not corporate labs
Now consulting from Mexico, helping owners streamline and scale remotely
Passionate about communities - that’s why our free Dive Bar Forum exists
Sharing real tools, not theories - spreadsheets, templates, and checklists that save time and money
Signature Courses & Digital Systems
Who Are We?
We’re David & Jessica Corbitt.
Former multi-unit bar owners with 15+ years running nightlife, sports bars, bikini bars, and high-volume craft beer & wine concepts.
After living the chaos - burnout, turnover, tech overload, and systems that never stuck -
we built the tools we wish we had from day one:
Simple. Clear. No fluff. Zero monthly fees.
Now we live in Puerto Vallarta with our 5-year-old son, helping operators worldwide reduce chaos, increase consistency, and boost sales without overcomplicating the business.
Our motto:
Systemize • Automate • Breathe
Dive Bar Academy isn’t “guru advice.”
It’s real operators helping real operators - with systems that actually work.
No theory. No hype. Just results.
