🍸 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL BARTENDER'S DAY!!🍺 We love our bars and bartenders community, and we're stoked we get to spend today celebrating and spreading our appreciation for the cocktail-shakin', beer-keg-tappin', pint-pullin', glass-washin', bar-managin' champs out there. And what better way to do so than a (drum roll please) 🥁 🥁 🥁 ✨ SURPRISE WEBINARRRRR!! ✨ (watch it here: https://lnkd.in/evAc_em8) Our marketing girlie, Ash Millar, sat down with Industry Spirit Ltd.'s Peter Drake and 3 other fabulous bar employees to understand what they really need with regards to learning, development, engagement and culture. Here's the top 3 points we think you'd be interested to know: 🗺️ The lack of structured career progression is holding back retention: Many bartenders see hospitality as a long-term career, but progression is often unclear. There’s a need for structured career pathways, beyond just management roles, to help bartenders see a future in the industry - whether that’s through advanced training, competitions or specialisation (e.g., cocktail development, operations, brand work) 📚 Extra learning resources ere Essential for training and career development: Beyond standard training, having access to additional learning materials - such as books, online courses and podcasts - allows bartenders to explore their interests and develop expertise. Many panellists found that being encouraged to deepen their knowledge (e.g., through spirits education, competition prep or advanced mixology techniques) was a key motivator in staying engaged with their work 🤳 Internal communication is broken: Many bartenders resent using personal messaging apps for work communication as it blurs boundaries, creates constant notifications and lacks professionalism. The consensus was that dedicated work communication platforms (separate from social media or personal messaging apps) improve clarity, respect privacy and help maintain work-life balance
