How to Hire a Talented Bartender in NYC

Multitasking ability - A bar is a complex system that is composed of a lot of moving parts. A truly gifted bartender knows how to juggle multiple responsibilities seemingly at the same time. On a busy night, a bartender is being yelled at from all directions for drink orders, people are asking for their bar tabs, and new guests are looking for a free space at the bar to look at a menu. While all of this is going on, they are ringing up a check, shaking a cocktail shaker, examining what they have left in stock behind the bar that may need replenishing, and more! Having eyes on all things is key when looking to hire a bartender in NYC.

Cleanliness and hygiene standards - When your guests look at your bar, you want it to be the epitome of cleanliness and organization. This will reflect heavily on how they view the rest of your business. Since the bar is oftentimes the focal point of any venue and is seen usually first, that means the first impression your guests garner from you, your event, or your business, will be determined by how your bar and your bartender appear to them. So make that first impression count, by hiring a bartender that is well groomed, keeps an orderly bar with attention to detail in all matters, especially food safety standards, and that your bar looks very presentable and attractive to your guests.
