Tips and work bits about bartending
Secrets to success:
Many bartenders today tend to subscribe to the belief that standing behind
the bar looking good and making middle of the road drinks is all it takes to
be successful. These same bartenders tend to believe that they are supposed
to get a tip for everything they do behind the bar. How wrong can you be?
Bartending is about excellent customer service. Give the customers what they
want, and you will give them a reason to tip well. Knowing how to make good
drinks is essential. Every bartender should be a good mixologist. And what
happened to lighting your patrons cigarettes? Making your customers feel
good about being at the bar is a major tip to success. Don't forget product
knowledge. The more you know about the products that you sell, the better
sales person you will be. Credibility can help a good bartender gain lots of
respect while behind the bar. Remember, bartending is about hospitality and
making your customers feel welcome. Give them a reason to come back to the
bar and they will.
