The team got to meet our passionate full-time staff and team of dedicated bar managers, who shared insights into their roles and the incredible journey of the company so far. THEORY Next, we dove into a theory session, covering all the essentials to set our new bartenders up for success, such as: - Role Overview: - Bar Equipment and it’s uses: - Bar Setup & Organization: - Customer Service: - Cash & Card Handling: - Speed & Efficiency Tips: PRACTICAL With the basics in place, it was time to put theory into practice! Candidates worked hands-on behind our ibar, tasked with evaluating their setups for any issues and serving drinks to our bar managers, who acted as customers in a simulated loud festival environment. This exercise emphasized adaptability, problem-solving, and speed under pressure. FEEDBACK We wrapped up the session by sharing constructive feedback, highlighting strengths, and providing tips for improvement. This open discussion helped our candidates refine their skills and gain confidence for the real deal. The session was as rewarding as it was fun, and we’re already excited to improve and run more training sessions like this in the future 👀 We’re always on the lookout for new bartenders to join our team.
