Process drink Re-orders in the BAR / Lounge

Verifying with guests if they would like another beverage:

  • Suggest another beverage when the guest’s glass is one-half to three-quarters empty.
  •  Always count the number of alcoholic beverages each guest has.
  •  Provide complimentary snacks like nuts or other high-fat snacks to slow the absorption of alcohol into the blood.

Take down the second order on your scribbling pad:

  • Draw a line under the first order and write the new orders below the line. This will help to easily distinguish between the first order and the repeat or new order.
  •  You can also write the word “repeat” on the scribbling pad if all guests at the table re-order the same drink for the next round.

Serve additional beverages:

  • Clear any empty glasses when you serve or before you serve the repeat order.
  •  Always bring a fresh glass with a fresh bottle of beer.
  •  Never put your fingers inside glasses when you are removing them from the bar or lounge tables.
  •  Put used glasses into your service tray.
  •  Please a new beverage napkin in front of the guest.
  •  Place the new drink on the beverage napkin.

Monitor guests closely for signs of intoxication:

  • Stop alcohol service to intoxicated guests.
  •  Inform the Manager about the situation.
  •  Ask the help of a co-worker or manager to watch or help if you refuse to serve alcohol to a guest.
  •  Remove all alcohol from the table which is within reach of the intoxicated guest.
  •  Do not argue with the guest, Suggest Mock-tails, nonalcoholic beverages, or food instead.
