While you’re deciding whether to pursue a career in bartending or waitressing, you should consider all the aspects of the jobs. These include the importance of customer service, knowing the basics of cocktails, and knowing how to dress properly. A good bartender will always remember the drink orders of repeat customers, so having the right drinks available when a customer comes in can make a difference. Some other duties of a bartender are unofficial, but should be included in your job description.
In addition to providing good customer service, a good bartender should know local nightlife, and the drink favorites of regular customers. The best bartenders are also able to provide unofficial duties. Sometimes, they’re asked to entertain customers by answering questions about sports trivia, directions, or the marital status of fellow patrons. This is a great way to learn the ropes of the business and help keep customers satisfied.
A bartending course should teach new grads how to build drinks and network with other bartenders. While this may seem like a simple job, it’s not as easy as it looks. For example, a person may work 10 hours a day at a bar but still be up and about at noon. The best way to make sure you’re getting enough rest is to work on your resume and interview skills. By networking with other bartenders, you’ll become more attractive to employers and gain more experience.
