Bar staff are employed in restaurants and bars all over the world. Their general duties include providing service to customers, while maintaining cleanliness (including the bar, tables and glassware) and good customer relations. Essentially bar staff members are responsible for drinks and light snacks, while food service staff are responsible for meals; however, in some restaurants the rules of traditional bar service may be blurred and the same person might perform both duties.
This course provides foundation knowledge for those attending a bar or working as a drinks waitperson.
