How To Get A Bartending Job With No Experience
Have you ever wanted to become a bartender and wonder how to get a bartending job with no experience?
There are a few different ways you can go about getting a bartending job, this article will help you achieve that goal.
Get A Job At A Restaurant To Start!
One option is getting a job as a server at a restaurant or pub. You may be thinking to yourself, "a server?"
Yes, a server.
Most bartenders start their careers as servers or bussers at restaurants and have worked their way up to becoming a bartender. Typically the bartending job is the most sought after one in a restaurant - bartenders make more money than the managers usually!
Working as a server allows you to learn the basics of serving drinks. Pouring glasses of wine, and serving frozen drinks is a great way to learn the basics of bartending.
When you feel ready, talk to your supervisor and see if you can start to get training behind the bar with a professional bartender.
Most likely you will be a barback, an assistant to the bartender. This will allow you to get a feel of what it is like to be behind the bar and in the fast-paced atmosphere.
Finally, after you have spent enough time as a barback, and you and your supervisor feel you are ready, you can now become a bartender.
