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 ManagerManager is a person in the hotel operations who is assigned to manage or supervise a group of employ... 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.
