"In the Food & Beverage sector, serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages plays an important role. In general, it is understood that there are many places where alcoholic bever-ages are sold or consumed, e.g. consumers who take liquor away for consumption elsewhere. From the above it can be concluded that the places where beverages are offered for in-house consumption are more frequented by consumers and are more or less associated with hospitality as their primary, secondary or tertiary business activity. It's a fact that the hospitality industry around the world sees bars as an integral part of the overall guest experience.
Bartenders work directly with customers by mixing and serving drink orders. Their responsibilities include verifying age requirements, knowing the combination and taste of alcohol, knowing how to make traditional and stylish drinks, processing payments, managing inventory and cleaning up cash supplies. Exceptional customer service for bartenders means adaptability to different personalities and situations. Although bartenders primarily serve alcoholic beverages, some also take food orders while also acting as waiters or waitresses. Some bars have machines that automatically measure and pour drinks, but bartenders still need to know how to hand-prepare various cocktails and mixed drinks.
