Bartenders specialize in preparing and serving drinks, ranging from complex cocktails to simpler beverages. They are responsible for crafting cocktails according to standard recipes or customer preferences, maintaining a clean and organized bar area, and ensuring that customers have an enjoyable time at the bar. Bartenders must also be able to recommend drinks, check customer ages when necessary, and manage the bar’s cash register. Additionally, they may collaborate with the kitchen staff to coordinate events and special promotions.
