Hi
I am going to be working on a Hotel bar for some extra income. Its a smallish bar that doesnt do cocktails or anything too complicated. It does have a large Gin Bar section and Ive been learning about all the drinks and what they are distilled from. I have other duties in the hotel so its going to be quite pressured as a bar person
Do you think I will be able to learn fairly quickly as a good barman is worth their weight in gold. I can make the simpler drinks with ice and pull a pint. With lots of concentrated study I can get up to speed
The shots and wine go in measuring containers so I dont have to free pour like they do a lot in fancy joints
The other night a lovely lady was in from Tasmania of all places. Lovely and the job is looking good
Learning the Pos system doesnt look too hard. I can certainly be more friendly than some youngsters you see in chain pubs. I doubt I will relate to every customer but Im naturally friendly if a bit on the shyer side. Im not going to be telling jokes to the crowd but I like a good chat if I ever get the time
Just fancied a chat on my favourite forum. What qualities would you look for in someone that is serving you a drink?
What am I actually letting myself in for
Best wishes
Martin
