A day in the life of a Head bartender

16:00 With a cup of coffee you prepare your shift and prepare the handover with your team. You do the handover together with the Food and Beverage Supervisor.

16:30 You check whether the preparatory work is going as instructed in all the outlets and assist where necessary.

17:30 After dinner with your colleagues, ensure the bar is ready for the evening rush and discuss any specifics with the kitchen/other outlets, if needed.

18:15 You work on your laptop in the office on schedules and payroll for last months. With the time left, you start working out teams' input on the autumn/winter menu.

19:30 During the peak hours in the bar, you keep your cool and ensure all guests have an unforgettable experience. You help the team achieve the same goal.

20:15 For one of the regular guests you shake her favorite cocktail, with your own twist of course.

23:45 Most of the guests left the bar and together with your team you discuss the planning for all the closing tasks and assist where necessary.

00:30 Bar is now closed. You complete the handover and head out with your colleagues for a well-deserved drink in one of the bars nearby.
