Bartender careers
A Bartender prepares and serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in a bar, restaurant, or other hospitality venue. You will take orders, mix drinks according to recipes, and ensure customers are served in a timely and friendly manner. Bartenders may also manage the bar area, handle cash transactions, and maintain cleanliness. You will need to ensure customers’ safety by following responsible service of alcohol (RSA) practices.
Bartenders play a vital role in creating a welcoming atmosphere for customers. You’ll need to have excellent communication skills, be personable, and be able to handle a fast-paced environment. Attention to detail and a good knowledge of drink recipes are essential for success in this role.
