These professionals may also handle cash transactions, enforce liquor laws and health regulations, and manage any issues or complaints related to the bar service.

Essential skills for a Bar Staffer include excellent customer service skills, strong communication skills, the ability to multitask, and physical stamina, as they spend most of their shift on their feet.
