FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
If tip jars are allowed, I offer my services for a lower rate. Generally I use a day rate, so that clients allow me to arrive early enough to set up, and I'm happy to stay as needed. My usual day rate is 400, without tips. If tips are allowed, it will be less, but varies with each event. Prices are negotiable. If you want me to purchase liquor, bring glasses, to set up a menu or if I have to acquire an event liquor license (some banquet venues require them, even though no liquor is being sold) that would cost more.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold all of my necessary licenses to pour, but not to sell. I'm a member of the local union and the US Bartender Guild.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've been bartending since 2006, and in the service industry since 94.
