20 points that differentiate the mediocre bartender from the successful
number 1 be prepared
arrive early with everything you need for work do not expect to have the utensils of others
for example I do not have an opener but I do not care since Juanito always has one in the bar
do not count on the things of others because it is very unprofessional
number two mastery of techniques
knowing how to use each utensil of the bar correctly such as shaking, stirring or opening a bottle of wine
never work reluctantly with a bad attitude or little technique strive to learn and improve
your cocktail making techniques and others
number 3 master the workspace
know everything about your bar study every day
or when you can the history production and classification of all the ingredients of the bar
we are talking about bitters, liqueurs, syrups brandy sodas juices and much more
and this will provide you with great knowledge, your client will notice it in each sip
and when they ask you what good whiskey and blended do you recommend me?
If you don't know the difference between single malt and blended whiskey it
's time to study my number 4
corduroy order from the bar to
know exactly how you are going to order the bar ordering the bar
depends a lot on the cocktails to be served
never neglect the order of the bar now that we can always improve and update
the place where all the things are placed
and this we do to increase speed and quality
and not only is to order the bar
we must also know how long it takes to cut the fruits
to make the decorations squeeze the juice from the citrus fruits
place the ice in the cooler make sure the beer, the wines and other ingredients
are complete, have covered dishes on hand, check the garbage, and much more
that your day or night is successful will depend a lot on how you order your bar
number 5 look great
the best bartenders take care of their physical appearance and their clothes
should have a good appearance all the time
wipe the sweat or wash your face when you have time to go to the b year always fresh always clean
number 6 the POS
its acronym means point of sale or the point of sale
you have to be a machine with the POS
the POS that is a system that is in all the bars to register customer orders
are also sent food orders to the kitchen
and most important is calculated is printed and paid
the bill with this system must be practiced much since working
as broken eggs that bartender rather slow during which takes 5 minutes to register an account
also You must study the price of each item in the system and that way you will be able to master POS number 7
much better, freepour
obviously we have jiggers in bars
but in the same way you have to practice freepour a lot
since when it comes to speeding up the process for x reason
having a good freepour guarantees not wasting alcohol and having a good balance in each drink
number 8 customer service
working so many hours in one place
gives you the ability to recognize Quickly see the details such
as those new customers who are arriving at the bar
or those customers who think they are more alive trying to leave without paying
if you are busy greet each person who arrives at your bar
and with this simple phrase
hey! I finish an order and I take care of you here I leave you the menu welcome
those customers will wait their turn with more tranquility
since with that first contact they will think hey the bartender already knows that we are here
number 9 be alert
a good bartender keeps the customer always with drinks in hand
ask the customer if everything is okay if he wants more drinks
a second round that helps undecided people to order more
you should always boost the sale and believe me if the bartender is lazy the bar will be lazy
number 10 be tactful
identify when the customer wants to interact with you
or when he just wants to drink without speaking it is important to
maintain an atmosphere in accordance with the mood of each customer only the best can achieve it
number 11 nothing free
do not give cocktails avoids problems with the manager or the bar owner
since everything in the bar costs money until this bamboo toothpick
put on the owner's shoes you invested is time, effort, money to set up a bar
and what e the bartender gives away your job is not acceptable
number 12 look at the face
I know that in bars with a large number of customers
bartenders are usually working in this way
raising the face helps us to keep control of the details
of what is happening In the bar
you can be working here but make sure
that when you go to shake or do a stirring or any action
always raise your face and review everything that is happening
also never but never serve a client in this way
hey yes! aja what and what will you want with what?
The best bartenders serve you by looking at your face
making you feel that you have all the attention in the world
and believe me that you will see an important change in your tips
number 13 premium
you must offer premium ingredients or extra things in the service
the best bartenders will always have the best sales
for example when you ask for a cosmopolitan offers them
only with vodka more premium
your client you can drink a best cocktail
and you'll sell more
rarely going to hear: nonono not make me cocktail with cheap you have
and especially a couple is on his first appointment
number 14 cleaning
keep your bar clean without exception take your time to clean the spills the bar
covered glasses glasses that were already used obviously by
doing this you can generate a golden impression to those new customers who are arriving
number 15 multifunctional
drink multiple commands at the same time it is certainly a challenge to
retain enough information in mind is something you can practice and n home with this exercise,
imagine that you have two groups of people
in which the first group asks you for a beer, two cocktails and a glass of wine,
the second group asks you for two beers, a soft drink and a cocktail,
place the orders in your head and imagine that you are working at the bar
you can group the orders for example with beer
this group asked me for one and this group asked me for two
when I go to the fridge I take three and I already have two and one
repeats this exercise five times with the same order of the groups
and then over time you can include more drinks believe me doing this exercise at home
for at least 30 minutes it will be much easier to bring it to reality
and obviously if you practice it every day
number 16 help the barbacks
when you do not have customers to serve at the bar
do not jump to your phone to check messages or see how many likes you had in your last sexy video
help clean the glassware order the ingredients relieve the work of those barbacks
who are ay udantes and make you notice that there is friendship or camaraderie
believe me that you will have a better work environment
number 17 boxes of sodas
it is not certain that you will have the bar helping you throughout the night
change the co2 tank or the replacements of the gun of soft drinks
is a task that both barback and bartenders have to master
number 18 correct garnish
an excellent bartender respects the decoration of each cocktail
and does not put a simple cherry in all drinks
each cocktail has a decoration or an appropriate garnish
number 19 connections
at the bar we can meet any number of clients with different jobs
if you serve them in the best way and create a connection they
can follow through social networks
and at any time they will contact you or recommend projects for private events etc.
also create a good connection with regular customers
can help you on those dead nights where you have an empty bar
and those loyal customers are the ones you always They save the job with good tips of
course as long as it makes them feel very special
knowing their lives that they like that they don't like
and you go on to do more than just a simple bartender for them
number 20 the last and the most important
pass it great have fun, enjoy, transmit a good energy with a smile
being a bartender is a great job is very busy with ups and downs
but with great rewards
if you have something that can contribute to all these ideas I will wait for you in the comments
like if you have learned something with this video and as we always see each other in the bars bye
