If the manager says you’re fine, the other bartenders opinions don’t matter. They’re probably just trying to bring you down because they’re jealous of you. The pretty new girl is getting way more attention than them.

OR time is money. The more customers you can get to the more tips are possible. If tips are pooled I would hope my coworkers are right there with me. One time I had a guy who messed around and I was making 4 to his every one. To bust your butt and then have to share 50-50 with a slow or noncaring coworker is not cool.

Lol wow, they didn’t say it in a constructive manner at all? Pretty unprofessional

If the managers ok with you then don’t stress it too much. You’ll get quicker with time. ALOT of bartenders are mean to their co-workers….. they’re afraid you’re gonna take their shifts probably.

I wonder about that how people will just leave with the drinks without paying

@@Dustviii most bars require to get a card before making the drinks.. that’s how you catch the bad ones. If they leave just swipe there card since you have it. You should never have to worry about that. There’s sets and rules, people know where they are if you are working at a great food location. Restaurant base not club bade

Give them the check first.

Thanks dog for teaching

Haha! I've worked at high maintenance places that like as well. I know where you're coming from.

Thanks for the kind words Christopher. Glad I can help.

Fantastic Jaymi. Best of luck to you. Let me know how it's going.

Thanks Danny. Appreciate the kind words.

You're right Atlblacklion...everyone should be aware of their skill level and not take on more than they can handle. The goal here is to at least improve their multitasking skills so they can be better at what they do and make more $$$.

ATLBLACKLION I totally agree with you, it’s not as easy as it seems.. I work at a place where we sell seafood, so people are not only ordering drinks, but huge menu items as ell..For the most part when people know you are the only one behind the bar and you are super busy, they understand ..

Glad to be of service Olivia.

How you doing now girl ?

​@@youknowimright1725Prolly stripping 😂😂😂

Thanks Robert, much appreciated and glad I could help.

Hey Southern, I'm blown away that management would demand such a policy. There's nothing you can do about it, and I understand that they want focused customer service, but this is the definition of bad customer service: having multiple people feeling ignored while the bartender focuses on one person. Best of luck to you with all that, and thanks for stopping by.

I'm not sure who Rich Piana is, but I'll say thank you and hope that's a good thing.

@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman he was a legend bodybuilder and businessman and motivator to improve all aspects of your life and be successful. kind of a public life coach champion body builder. he sadly died in 2017 due to his use of anabolic steroids to gain mass

Great input Kitty. Thanks for your perspective, and it is a great practice to have the updated receipt in front of them if they haven't checked out yet.

I can see that being a problem Return - 1, so the first step is to get rid of that limiting belief. If you believe you have a memory problem, you will always have a memory problem. Your mind believes what you tell it. Change your beliefs, change your life. Look up Anthony Robbins, Limiting Beliefs to see what I'm talking about. Thanks for stopping by.

That's an excellent point Mark. You are dead-on right about that. That's why owners definitely need tracking procedures in place.

@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman and you have an excellent video about that. Here in UK there are little or no tips, so people being people need to find other ways to make the rent. Creativity on a cash register is one way those in minimum wage employment will do it.

Need to find a way to improve that skill issue because you won't make it otherwise.

How is ur memory that bad? But for speed, you dont need to be as fast as him, just do at your pace, i just hope you are not too slow. Hes concentration is on max while at work, while you probably dont even want to be there...

Great policy. I like it. Less walk outs that way.

In the beginning you should definitely do one order at a time, ring in the drinks, give change. Then move to two orders. Baby steps will build your memory and ability to make multiple drink orders. Same thing if you're training for a marathon. You don't go out and run 17 miles the first day of training. Build day by day.

Haha! Yes I can get a bit goofy Cheyenne. Just ask my kids who roll their eyes at me constantly. Sounds like you're in the heart of the action there in Vegas. Hope you're able to realize your dream someday soon.

He wouldn’t hire someone from lans Vegas, it doesn’t exist

Hey Charlotte. I would always recommend bartending. What other job can you earn $50,000 - $60,000 with a few weeks education? Landing a job without experience can be a bit of a challenge which is why I spent so much time cracking the code to help people like you break into the business so they can make some real money. Best of luck to you.

Thanks Blue Flask, but I haven't forgotten anything. This is not a problem if you know what you're doing. What most people don't realize that in a busy environment, half the people have tabs open so you are just adding drinks to their tabs. But even if they don't, you can definitely take more orders as you are collecting money. This is the multitasking part. You're making drinks and collecting money as you go, and even as I take that $20 bill from someone, I can look up and take another drink order, go cash the person out and start making the next order. Once you get the rhythm of this, your value will skyrocket and you will make more sales and therefore more tips. Thanks for stopping by. Cheers.

You should ring them up after everything is made, or add it to their tab if they started one.

Don't overwhelm yourself. Since you won't know where everything is try and learn where things go whilst it's quiet when it gets busier dont panic just serve 1 person at once if you've not done bar work before. Just remember to not rush anything if you need help with anything ask someone else behind the bar if you're not sure you're doing it right you'll be fine dont worry about it

I'm in the same exact place as you except I cant really ask questions without getting screamed or barked at my mixologist gets extremely hot-headed and sometimes condescending when its busy which just adds to my stress 😭

Nothing is easy without practice. Honing your skills makes you better at what you do and more valuable to the owner and manager.

Not quite right, Cesar. I believe I said an EXTRA $80 - $100 per shift if you learn to multitask so you can make more drinks.

@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman got you. Your awesome by the way.

Now you're making me blush

It certainly helps to be good at math, but as long as you can ring up the drinks on the POS system and enter the amount that was given to you, the POS will tell you what the change is.

No but it helps, there is a lot of counting but the numbers stay the same , like a cooler can hold 8 beer per row , you do some inventory and cash outs , but it’s definitely not rocket science . Really depends where you are working/ whAt you serve . Some cocktails can get intense but they are few and far between.

Nathan, Nathan, Nathan...I appreciate your passion, but I imagine you're one of those people on facebook who jumps on political soapboxes and blames rich people for ruining the country. I can see that you're passionate about arguing this topic so you can preach about all the shitty bartenders you have come across who are more interested in looking cool than providing a good experience, but your argument assumes that just because you are good at one skill that all others must be sacrificed. You've come up with your own formula that says "If you're good at multi-tasking: you make drinks with incorrect proportions, you give bad service and all you care about is money." And just because you've seen it true in other bad bartenders, it does not make it a rule. The point of the video is to give a few tips to show aspiring bartenders how to serve people quickly in a very busy environment so they don't get behind and people can get their drinks faster. Don't turn it into your social experiment. To say that a bartender who is good at multitasking is bad at everything else is placing a giant limiting belief of what we are capable of as bartenders. Cheers.

@@DaveAllredTheRealBarman Damn, I feel where the man is coming from. And then see that you’re also right. In my bar, managers just want me to keep getting faster at pushing drinks because some feel that a 10-second shake is too long lol. So I said 8 seconds would be the lowest I could do to not embarrass myself with a humiliating low washline on a couple of martini glasses. They reply to me saying this is not a craft bar. But I just can’t comprehend how a standard 10-second count could hurt our night sales.

Yes Gustavo, what people have to remember is that everything involves balance. If you go to far to one side (just pushing drinks quickly on people to make more money vs. over-chatting and doing nothing) then it's harmful for everyone. Balance, young grasshopper.

Oh no, over chatting is not my style at all. I totally agree and I understand that pushing drinks as fast as possible is what better profits the entire team, but I just do not want to become a messy, and sloppy bartender. That’s all. They do not mind, but I really do.
