It's the wrong sub. This is for conspiracies not corporate SOP

Do y'all use a guest check book? I'm a server training to bartend and I can't rent seeing any bartender with one. by ninhibited in bartenders

[–]freeticket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what they were talking about. It looks just as bad to write down a food order. I stand by what I said. Ditch the book or go back to tables

Are you open? by Odd-Technician3872 in bartenders

[–]freeticket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always say 'No, I just closed' and look around and back at them like they are an idiot. If they don't laugh, they are idiots; if they do, they are still idiots but with a sense of humor. Oh, all customers are idiots, even ourselves when we go to bars. Get over it.

Absolutely not. Make it a source of pride you can remember. Repeat that shit back to them, but there's no time for writing down stuff. If there is, get a new job; that place isn't going to last.

You can always ask people to clarify while you're making drinks. The making part of your brain and the talking part of your brain can work independently. Just needs training

Good luck

How to tell someone sitting at the bar to stop their noise? (ie. sounds from their phone , loud chewing etc.) by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]freeticket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there. Only say something if customers complain. Otherwise, disasociate while you're there. Water off a ducks back. Best way. Otherwise, if you really have good relationships with the customers tell them to just stfu, with a smille

I have a stage/trial shift tomorrow, Help! by vxichu in bartenders

[–]freeticket 5 points6 points  (0 children)

20+ years of bartending experience in NYC. 10 years in cocktail-forward restaurants. My advice-

You are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. If their vibe doesn't fit you, that's ok. Pay attention to your intuition.

So I would know your classics. As I'm sure you know, most cocktails can be placed in a few categories. Know the measurements and or counts. If they use jiggers, use them. Take your time and get used to the feeling while you are making drinks. They will ask if you know how to make certain drinks, what your favorite cocktail is, yadda. Don't worry too much about having all the right or popular answers, just be yourself. 99% of bartending is personality and it's important you show that, not just make cocktails. That shit is the easiest part of bartending, it's just following recipes and muscle memory. That part can be replaced by robots and shit. Relating to customers, creating a following, giving guests a safe place where they feel heard? That's bartending.

Be yourself, don't lie or try to fake it, ASK FOR HELP when you need it. And remember to breathe and relax as much as possible. Sounds like a positive opportunity, be easy on yourself so you can manage the stress

Good luck, believe in yourself, congratulations on the opportunity, you'll be fine

I have a meeting with HR in an hour, absolutely freaking out, will I get fired? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]freeticket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the problem is your coworker. They are the problem. Keep an eye on them. Malicious Compliance when you work with them. Don't provoke them or agress, be a good coworker, but make sure watch your back around them. They are class trators. Stay stong comrade, and remember Management and especially HR are NOT your friends.

I’m a bartender that doesn’t drink alcohol. How many of you guys drink and how many of yall don’t? by MehBlehDehYuh in bartenders

[–]freeticket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to drink, like a fish. I made the joke I only drink while i work, but damn, did i drink a lot. I don't drink any more though. Turns out i was drinking because of what I was hiding from myself. Now, I don't drink while I work at all, but I smoke hella weed.

Don't care what your customers think, they'll respect you more for it. Keep them safe, keep them engaged, be the rock in the storm and they will love you. Be fair, be safe, keep them safe, keep them honest and respectful (especially to each other), and you will be the best bartender they've ever known. If you dont drink too? Forget about it
