If you want to become a bartender, you must assess your readiness for this profession in advance. So, what are the basic requirements for a bartender in the process of work?
First of all, you need to have a genuine interest in the process of making and serving the drink. You should like the process of preparing and serving a drink, communicating with customers (remember that customers can be completely different). A person who cannot stand for about eight hours in a row is also unlikely to become a good bartender - he will simply get tired quickly physically, and work will not be a joy for him. However, if you love communicating with people and are sure that this kind of work will be to your liking, nothing can stop you from becoming a bartender.
To do this, you must first of all oppose the appropriate training course - for example, enroll in bartender courses. Usually you can find such courses in almost every major city, and in order to choose the most high-quality and interesting courses, use the recommendations of your acquaintances, friends, or graduates of certain courses. But just getting trained is not enough - the bartender must understand what his job is and be as motivated as possible. The principal incentives for any bartender should be customer satisfaction and profitability of the establishment.
The bartender always monitors the quality of the drinks served, monitors compliance with all hygiene and safety rules, decides on the purchase of equipment and the necessary supplies of drinks for the bar. Also on the shoulders of the bartender is the control of cash transactions and the drawing up of bar charts. Therefore, every bartender should perfectly know the rules for serving drinks, be able to handle all bar tools and accessories, know all the classic cocktail recipes, and be able to compose their own recipes that will become the hallmark of the establishment.
Another important quality of the bartender is impeccable manners. The bartender must comply with all the rules of etiquette, be an obligatory and honest person, be able to listen to his customers, while maintaining a certain distance. If you are sure that you have all of the above qualities, then the work of a bartender suits you, and you can safely try your hand at this profession.
