Let’s face it the ultimate goal of being a better bartender is to make more money, by generating more tips. In order to do this, bartenders need to be at the top of their game. Some of the measures that can be implemented include:
 
• Always Maintaining a Good Attitude. No matter how bad a day you’re having, keep a good attitude and always smile.
 
• Always Be Professional. Maintain a professional attitude and appearance. Being professional will make customers trust you and therefore return to your bar time and time again.
 
• Make Suggestions. If customers are unsure of what to order Make a suggestion to show that you care. Most customers will look to you for advice as they view you as the expert and most will show their gratitude with tips.
 
• Don’t Fixate on Tips. Although the tip may be most of your income, being obsessive about tips and counting your tips each time someone hands it to you is unprofessional.
 
• If unsure, ask for proof. Part of responsible service is making sure the people you serve are of legal drinking age. If you doubt about a customer’s age, ask for a proof of ID.
