Bartending is a challenging job, but a rewarding one. It requires you to be courteous and professional, and it can be a highly lucrative career. However, you must learn all the necessary skills and techniques to succeed in this profession. Below are some helpful tips for beginning bartending:
– When you arrive for your first day, be sure to check the back bar for supplies. A well-stocked bar can handle a large number of customers. You may also want to invest in some non-slip footwear to prevent injuries.
– Before making any drinks, be sure to check the garnishes and ice levels. If you see any broken glass, be sure to clean it immediately.
– Always speak to guests. Customers get frustrated when they are not acknowledged. They usually do not mind waiting if they are being given direct attention.
– Always ask your customers what they are looking for. Customers often order drinks that are not on the menu. This will help you to upsell and earn more money.
– Be flexible with your shift. Even if a new guest has just arrived, you can still take their orders.
– Keep a positive attitude. You may not realize how much of an impact your attitude will have on the way you are paid for your service. By taking care of your clients with respect and kindness, you will make a good impression and they will return for more.
– Don’t get overwhelmed. Even if you are working a busy night, keep an eye on what’s happening around you.
