We're the 15% who worked hard enough at this job and are still passionate enough about it to care enough about posting to newbies at 6:05am after we got off working 5pm-3AM. Most of the regular people who post to this sub are 27+, this isn't a discouragement, it's just saying that we're posting from paying our dues. And none of that I am talking about coworkers. If you work in a restaurant, you'll meet people from restaurants, if you work in a better restaurant, you'll meet people from better restaurants. I got lucky because my first serving job was the day I turned 18 because my mom worked at a "southern restaurant with a country store attached" (1.5 years I worked there from 18 until I moved to go to college) and then my second restaurant job saw that and knew I had the skills to last in a restaurant so they hired me, then I kept moving cities because of reasons, or leaving that restaurant and knowing people. (I would say places around colleges, they expect the longevity of their hires to be about 4-8 months). If you've never worked in a restaurant but feel compelled to, go for it. But take 2 bottles of vodka, 1 bottle of gin (because what under 21 person drinks gin?), and 7 bottles of tequilla, give one bottle to each of your 3 friends in the bar and have them walk out with them. You could be put in a situation where you could have to restock 1 bottle of vodka, 1 bottle of gin, 5 bottles of tequilla. Because you could be dispensing them from the back room to the front room (And to your underage friends, which is what the law is really about). That in my opinion would disqualify you from barbacking capabilities. That means as a barback you're TECHNICALLY not allowed to restock liquor. If you're under 21 you LITERALLY have to have a coworker deliver your liquor drinks to a table if you're under 21. I lived there for 7 years, from the time I was 20 until 28. However, their duties cannot include accepting payment for alcoholic beverages." A person under 21, but not younger than 18, may dispense, serve and sell beer or wine while working as a waiter or waitress as part of his or her job and in accordance with North Carolina’s youth employment laws. "No person under 21 may mix or dispense alcoholic beverages containing spirituous liquor. 20% or $1/drink in North America is quite common (often because of our lower priced drinks and staff that is paid a lower amount) and a good guideline to follow overall.Ħ) I just started as a barback but know nothing where do I start? Check out this. Tips are always appreciated, and it is generally up to the patron to decide what to tip. See what other people are tipping and match that to be safe.

Ordering a Cosmo at a busy cocktail lounge on a friday night in New York, one would expect to tip more than ordering a bottle of beer at a pub in Ireland. Take a few minutes to read through some past threads posted about bartending as a career.Ĥ) Where can I find more information about X Alcohol? Try one of the subreddits listed below, or the website for that brand.ĥ) How much should I tip? That will always depend on the country you're in, the type of establishment, the time of day and the type of drink ordered. With odd hours, and an environment fueled by liquor and flirting, it can take a strain on ones personal life. This includes posting available jobs or searching for jobs.Ĭheck This Out!
