There are some things you need to remember when interviewing for a job as a bartender. This will ensure that you don't hire applicants who are just interested in the money or have no clue what they're doing.
You should research the bar/restaurant you are interviewing at first. It will help you to understand what they do and how it does it. This will give you an idea of the culture and how it works for you. If you feel that this job would be a good fit, then you can focus on questions that will show your enthusiasm and how well you match up to the culture of the bar.
You can also use this as a chance to talk about why you want to be a bartender and what makes it a fun career for you. This will show the interviewer you care about the job and that you want to learn more.
Another important question to ask the bartender is if they have any experience serving food. This will show the bartender you are confident in your ability and previous experience handling food and beverages. It's a great opportunity to let the bartender understand that you are serious about the job.
You can show your interviewer you are a team player by telling them about a time that you worked together with other employees to solve an issue. This will show the bartender that you are a good communicator and have great problem-solving skills.
It is crucial that you can respond quickly to customers who are rude or not being polite. The bartender must be able to assess whether a customer is acting inappropriately and react appropriately without offending or angering them.
This is a great question because it gives you an idea of how the bartender would react to a customer in conflict. It will help you determine their approach to customers who have a problem and what they do about bartenders arriving late for work.
Also, the question will give you an idea of how a bartender might react when a customer approaches them and asks for a drink. This is an excellent way to learn how the bartender approaches situations that could damage their reputation or cost them money.
This question will help you decide how a bartender deals with minors. Some states have laws that allow minors to be ticketed and fined. It's important that you find a bartender with a high level of awareness.

How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. For this drink, we're going to use Cognac, which is a French distilled spirit made from fermented grapes. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. Cognac can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
Next, we'll make simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture until it dissolves completely, which takes about 5 minutes. Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. You can store the liquid in your fridge for up 3 weeks in an airtight glass container.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. In a shaker, add the Cognac and half of the ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Top off the Brandy Alexander with a splash of soda water and garnish with a lemon twist.
