Q&A: Cutting off your guest and Bartender perception
- Restaurants/Bars with a kitchen: Sell food – slows alcohol absorption rates.
- Talk about preventing hangovers and give free waters with drinks – slows their drinking and WILL reduce the hangover!
- Recruit their friends – Get them on your side and they’ll manage them out the door
- Using security the right way – too often they try to be intimidating – at the club I work they’re more like hosts, take photos for guests etc but are there when you need them.
Why is Bartending seen as an entry level job in the UK?
