How to Become a Bartender and Be Your Own Boss
By Chris Barney
How to Become a Bartender and Be Your Own Boss Are you a bartender and are you sick of getting bad shifts at your job? Do you want to control your work schedule and get paid top dollar for your bartending skills? You can become a private bartender with the tips I am about to give you. Even if you are not a bartender you can get the training you need and become a private bartender but it does take some time and money. Why would you want to become a private bartender? Private bartenders get paid as much as $30 an hour plus tips for their work. (I charge $25 to $30 per hour) Plus if you own your own company and get a catering liquor license you can provide the liquor and make a profit from your drinks as well. To become a private bartender you will need a few things. One, you will need to be extensively trained in drink recipes and you will need to know your liquors. A private bartender usually does not need to have as much speed as a restaurant or club bartender, but a private bartender needs to know as many drinks and liquors as possible and incorporate more of personal interaction and friendliness. The second thing you should do is get T.I.P.S. certified(Training for Intervention Purposes) . It is required for bartenders working in bar and restaurant establishments. A host looking for a bartender will be more apt to hire one that is certified. Once you have the training and the license you need to start finding private parties to work. Call all of the local catering companies to see if they need anybody to work any of their events. Also check local events and festivities and bring fliers and business cards to pass out. Be a salesman. In addition work with a catering company that does these events. Network for jobs through friends, family, acquaintances, post for hire ads on job website and look into creating your own webpage. I linked all of my ads on job search sites to my website so any perspective client can see everything about me and get answers to many questions they may have about me or my services You will want to get some business cards printed up with your name, company name(if you have one and you should), e-mail address, website(if you have one), and phone number. Take some time to make it look very professional. Remember, those cards represent you so you want them to look as good as possible. When you get work at a party or event put them on your bar and keep some in your wallet. Sometimes you will be away from the bar and someone will ask you for your business card so always have plenty on you at all times. You never know who you might potentially meet to increase business through word of mouth.
