**Basic Bar Prep**

The staff arrives early to organise the venue and bar, create prep, and organise the floor and behind the bar or stock room. This includes washing, cutting fruit and preparing garnishes to streamline use.

**Meal Presentation**

The kitchen staff organises customers’ baskets before the waitstaff or sometimes can be helped to prep or clean some kitchen utensils. All staff including bar staff are expected to bring the final product to the customer. They have a working knowledge of the day’s meals and menus and understand each dish or side we serve.

**Stock Kitchen and Storeroom**

The staff works with management and the rest of the team to receive, stack, and properly store drinks in the bar and occasionally food in kitchens. They transfer alcohol and supplies to the bar as needed, and understand the importance of stock rotation and shelf life.

**Cleaning Duties**

All staff are responsible for ensuring all areas of the kitchen, bar prep and alcohol storage areas are clean and properly sanitised. This includes washing utensils, glasses, bar equipment, shelving, and floors, sanitising countertops and cutting boards and maintaining all areas to health code standards.

**Bar Setup and Breakdown**

If they are the first to arrive, the bar staff turns on the lights and sets up stations and washers, starts bar prep work and prepares the bar and customer areas for service. When they’re the last to leave, the bar staff puts garnishes and utensils away, cleans and mops the floors, and turns off all electrical items for a shutdown.

**Supervisor Staff Skills and Qualifications**

**Quick and efficient workers with experience in bar work or waiting, no formal education or training is usually required to be bar staff, though the following skills are usually preferred**:

- Dependability
- a business is only as successful as the bar and kitchen staff it employs; all staff is expected to be reliable, on time for work, and consistent with the work they do. Staff should be able to work evening shifts and generally weekends.
- Physical stamina
- the bar staff work on their feet for the duration of their shifts, around scheduled breaks, in bars that may be uncomfortably warm; they move around the venue constantly, work at an efficient rate for a duration of time and may carry heavy loads for short distances
- Customer service
- working in all areas of the bar and often the waiting table, including bars, seating areas, buffet tables, and dining rooms, staff inevitably interact with customers, willingly listening to and assisting customers with their requests. Bar staff are the first point of contact and should make customers feel welcome but also ensure a safe and friendly environment is clear for everyone.

- Team player -the bar staff takes direction from the management and is willing to assist other team members to get their jobs done
