FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
. And I will be honest here.. this is my first time advertising my services. I have always been word of mouth. So I am new to the pricing system. Because of my reputation the cost was never really an issue for me. Tell me what your budget is, how many people, the logistics, what I need to bring and what you are providing for the event. I am sure that we can come to a fair and equitable arrangement.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Ask them, hopefully me, after you give out the details what the event of what, where, why time etc. Tell the Bartender WHO is going to be there. Is it going to be younger crowd, women for business, mixed. A bartender who knows his craft will or should have a few special drinks for the occasion to match the mood. Plus it also makes the service that much faster for serving reasons. If you are having a 18 birthday party with some parents chaperoning, the last drink that should EVER be served at that event.. a Long Island Ice Tea.. The teens will snag it from the parents when they turn their head. As it looks like Ice Tea. To serve this at such an event is not a good idea. A Good bartender anticipates possible problems. It comes with the job to avoid such problems.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Fred Astaire made dancing look so easy. A good bartender should be able to do the same. Probably #1 thing a customer should know. Other than mixed drink ( Bourbon/Scotch and soda etc) you should NOT taste the booze. People seem to think that the ability to actually taste the liquor is important. They are only tasting the liquor and not the wonderful combination of different Liquors, Liqueurs, mixes that create this synergy for a truly remarkable drink. Also when people start to complain about NOT tasting the booze is a sign of intoxication.
