On a typical day, a Bartender starts their shift by checking their inventory and preparing pre-batched cocktails and garnishes etc. . Once their station is setup and the bar opens, they chat with customers and make suggestions for drinks they might enjoy. In between making drinks for customers, Bartenders wipe down the bar to keep it clean and sanitary for new customers. They are the host and the "customer" is our guest, we always want them to feel welcome and taken care of. At the end of their shift, they will be expected to have the area they work in cleaned and ready for the crossover shift or end of day.
