They must also be ready to check identification of customers to make sure that they are of legal drinking age. And they must ensure that customers don’t drink too much and get out of control.

Bartenders also can act as waiters for the bar, taking food orders from customers sitting at the bar, and serving their food when it is ready. They also collect payment for drinks and food at the bar, and they and food at the bar, and they operate the cash register.

Bartender must clean up after customers and keep their work area clean and tidy. Wiping down the bar, washing cups and utensils used for mixing drinks, sweeping and mopping, cleaning up spilled drinks and glass from customer accidents, and helping clean the rest of the restaurant/bar before closing time are some of their cleaning duties.

Bartenders must keep track of their liquor, beer, and other bar supplies, such as drink garnishes, glasses, ice, and order more when needed.
