Bartender Jobs in Waukesha, WI

A Bartender plays a crucial role in the hospitality service industry. They are responsible for preparing and serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to customers, interacting with guests, taking orders, and serving snacks and bar food. Bartenders also accept payments, keep the bar well-stocked and clean, and ensure that all standards and legal obligations are met. In addition, they are often the first point of contact for customers and play a key role in establishing a welcoming atmosphere.

Bartenders require a set of specific skills and certifications. In most areas, they need to have a valid bartender's license or certification in responsible alcohol service. Strong customer service skills, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, the ability to work under pressure, and knowledge of drink mixing and garnishing are crucial. Before becoming a Bartender, an individual might start with roles such as a Barback, responsible for assisting the Bartender, a Server in a restaurant or a Host/Hostess. These positions provide valuable customer service experience and knowledge of the food and beverage industry.
