Free Basic Bartending Course

OK – what is bartending really like? What is my actual job description? What will I really be doing during my shift?

Some bars will have the absolute minimum types of glasses on hand – others go all out. They will also stick with a certain size for everything. All bars are different!

Bar sanitation is important. Vitaly important. To customers, employees – and especially that pesky Bar Health Inspector. All bartenders need to take sanitation seriously.

The bartender’s “tools of the trade,” are used for efficiency, speed, and presentation. No bartender can be at his best without them.

No exceptions, all of the health inspectors I have encountered are extremely professional and proficient. Nice people, and if you ask them – they’ll provide you with some extra tips on staying within the law and local health codes.

Bartenders wash a lot of bar glasses. 100’s of glasses each and every shift. There is a right way to accomplish this task – and a whole lot of wrong ways to get it done.

You’re going to run across some really cool people while working behind the bar. And some that aren’t so cool. You have to know how to handle all of your customers and provide each and every one of them with great customer service.
