    Sadly over here tips are basically non existent for bartenders :(
    Such a pain to make someone so many high quality drinks for them to only say thank you and leave.
    But I really enjoy the job, if I got even $25 worth of tips a night I would be over the moon

    I've been a bartender for many years. I've never used any other metric on how much money I make other than the money I'm taking home in my pocket at the end of the shift. Hourly is just extra.
    ...Question..is each server tipping you $20 a night or is that the total amount you're making from all the servers?

    • @davidblake1
      @davidblake1  ปีที่แล้ว

    I am looking forward to become a bartender when i finish uni (i study hospitality management) but right now i am just doing backbar stuff because i am a trainee.
    Story time:
    Working in all inclusive hotels for 2 years now, i am really disgusted with how the businesses don't respect themselves and try to leech money from customers. They try to make their drinks as worse as possible so the customers dont order them again.
    (There is a logic followed by many that implies the different treatment of the customer decided on if he is all inclusive or if he pays extra. All inclusive= bad treatment, free pouring, poor service/ Paying customer= better treatment, measuring the doses, good and instant service)
    On the other hand, when i am doing drinks, i am 95 percent of the time measuring everything, trying to be precise and honest with my work, but my coleagues curse at me for taking care for all types of customers, even the all inclusive. That shit gets me nuts man. I try to do my job better and that is bad? Should someone being good at his work scolded by his superiors?
    These are a few examples that make me sick of working in general. My problems were never that much work related (e.g how to make this or that et cetera) but mostly working enviroment oriented (crazy coworkers, bad behavior from superior to inferiors including me etc.) This is why i hope that one day i get to work in a small shop like the one you currently work at, or to even have my own shop (so i can control everything around me).

    Been bartending for at least 8 years now. Keep in mind that just like any other job, if not more in bartending/serving work, every job and employer is different. Some have WAYYY more sidework (cleaning/prepping/etc) that your employer will try to get you to do, many of them putting illegal amounts of non-guest related work for you to do for WHAT THEY PAY YOU, which is often HALF of the normal hourly wage. According to Federal Law, you are only supposed to be forced to do around 20% of your total TIP CREDIT WAGE time doing work not related to serving guests/making ingredients which will be served to them. DO NOT LET YOUR EMPLOYER ABUSE YOU!!! "But you made $xxx.xx!" Is not an excuse for you to spend 2-3 hours of your 6-9 hours cleaning floors/doing inventory for hours/deep cleaning, cashing out other people, doing other's paperwork, etc. Many places will use you for all they can. Know your worth, and don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. If you aren't making hundreds every night, and your boss is having you do hours of nonsense while they pay you $6/hr, stand up for yourself.

    I appreciate the enthusiasm but it appears in all observations to be fairly pedestrian. The basis was present however the finer points were neglected. Details like; Finished drinks alone are permitted on the bar top. Using double strainers for drinks that could be shaker-strained. Free pour; more accurate, quicker and fewer tools

      Should be noted that most bartenders do not work 40 hours a week most of them work two to three days a week depending on if they're doing events weddings such you're just in a bar or restaurant you may get 3 to 4 days and the tips will be similar a hundred bucks a day where as events 2 / 300 day. California Stax bartender's so even when you're making money you have to split it to three ways sometimes 6

    Watching you make all those drinks is mesmerizing, I didn't know bartending was a whole art form of its own :o
    I'm writing a story that involve some (slightly underage) characters sneaking to a slightly high-end rooftop bar for some drinks, but I'm not a drinker myself and I'm doing some research to fill some gaps in my understanding. If you can be bothered, would you mind answering some of my questions?
    - Do people pay before or after receiving their drinks?
    - Is it perfectly acceptable to order a beer at a high-end bar or is that kinda out-of-place?
    - Do bartenders tend to make small talk with people by the counter, or do they tend to leave them alone?
    Excuse me if some questions are trivial. It's the small details that are hardest to verify from just scouring the internet.
