Job Description
Bartenders are beverage service attendants who mix and pour alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for guests in bars, lounges, nightclubs, restaurants, on cruise ships and at events. Depending on the establishment in which they work, bartenders may serve the drinks they make, or they may give them to a food and beverage server, who serves them to the customer. Like most tourism occupations, bartending allows you to work with people and as part of a team. Bartenders usually receive gratuities, and may also receive meals or discounts on meals when at work.
