As a bartender or just a frequent visitor to a bar, it is important that you know the difference in potency between drinks as RSA training teaches. In this particular case, the difference between Everclear and Absinthe is examined, as can be seen here. This spread includes different drink mixes that can be made and also some general information about the taste and other features of the two most potent alcoholic drinks.
People that have been drinking alcohol can be very entertaining, but remember that it is your job to not allow their antics to go too far. Being the life of the party is a blast, but when the party tries to take you home it isn’t. Never allow a female to leave with a group of males that she obviously does not know, especially if she seems a lot more drunk than she should be. A good rule of thumb is to snap a picture of anybody that seems suspicious to you. Girls get their drinks spiked in all kinds of bars, don’t think it won’t happen in your bar. If you are able, ask the girl if she knows the men and offer to call her a cab. Get Your RSA QLD Course Online and learn more about Responsible service of Alcohol. Never allow a very intoxicated person to buy a round, always make sure they know that they are doing it. Sometimes they are talking out of their drunken state and don’t have the funds to pay. Many times, especially with credit card charges a sobered-up person may dispute the charges. Never turn your back on a customer at closing. While it is easy to get their last drink and start on your closing duties, it is just as easy for that person to steal from you or harm you. Just make polite conversation, reference the security cameras and how they need dusting, or say that your manager is late getting back. This will imply that they could be a witness or that he would be caught on camera, if he were to try to steal. Get Your RSA QLD Course Online and learn more about Responsible service of Alcohol.

Never allow a person drunk or sober to dance or stand on a table or bartop. Never bad mouth co-workers, management, or other patrons to customers. Never allow a patron to serve themselves. Never allow two members of the opposite sex in a gender specific bathroom. Never let people strip their clothes, this might be entertaining but can offend other customers and you might lose their business. Never allow an argument to last for more than a few minutes. Never allow a customer to be made fun of or the butt of a cruel joke. It is your job to make friends, not enemies.
In most popular bars and restaurants there is music playing and drinks are being served, as RSA training teaches. Which is the exact reason that this website has been invented. The website allows you to type in what you are listening to and will present you with a drink that goes with the according song, so next time you are playing a song at your bar, maybe you could serve a special drink that goes with each song! It’s sure yo liven up the atmosphere – Teaches RSA QLD (and any state)!
Just like customers, glasses come in all shapes and sizes. Each type of stemware has a specific purpose. From the Sherry glass to the Hurricane glass, each has a unique shape that changes the drinking experience. The stem, however, has a universal purpose, temperature control. The heat from the drinkers hand is constantly transferring heat, causing the drink to taste different. A drink that is served in stemware should always be held, either, by the stem or the foot (base of the glass). Sherry This little guy is made for sipping Sherry. Since Sherry is distilled wine, the temperature is very important. And since it is distilled, the alcohol content is higher, so you serve smaller portions than regular wine. Do your RSA Certificate and Learn more! Brandy Snifter Brandy is also a distilled wine. The very curvy shape of a Brandy snifter helps hold the alcohol that would normally dissipate into the air, inside the glass. The word snifter implies, correctly, that you should sniff the air in the glass, while drinking. Temperature is key with this glass, as well. You want the heat to transfer from the hand of the drinker, the warmer temperature helps the alcohol to evaporate. Swirling also helps to release the alcohol, as well as the brandy’s fragrance.

They also usually have smaller mouths to catch all the aromas and deliver them to your nose. Do your RSA Certificate and Learn more! Red Wines Red wine glasses are usually larger with larger mouths, perfect for swirling and smelling the wonderful fragrances. Since there are so many with a red wine, it is not important to keep it collected in a glass, so the mouth is wider. Though a Port glass resembles a champagne flute, it is still a red wine glass. The larger size is not for a larger portion, it is for swirling. Do your RSA Certificate and Learn more! Champagne In the 19th century, the Coupe was all the rage, but it allowed the bubbly to go bust. With the wide surface area, the Coupe served up flat glasses of champagne, and it was super easy to spill. Now, most people use the Champagne Flute. A proper Flute has a small bead, at the base of the bowl, that allows the bubbles to accumulate and release in the center of the glass. But a flute is so good at “not spilling” that it hinders the swirling aspect of the champagne experience. The Tulip glass is best for serving champagne, it allows the drinker to see bubbles right down to the last drop and allows them swirl and sniff until their heart is content.
In a recent report, it was found that the average consumption of alcohol was falling over the past 10 years. This means that more and more people are becoming aware of the effects of alcohol and this could be due to the effort all RSA certified workers put into keeping people at an acceptable level of drinking. This is the kind of report that we like to hear as it means that awareness is rising and the RSA course online is proving effective. So before you go to work in a bar or restaurant, you have to go online and get your Responsible Service of Alcohol certificate so that you can serve people alcohol properly, it pays off! For the full news report, you can check it out here and see how important it is to heed all the lessons that RSA Training Online teaches you!
1. When serving a chilled drink, that will be served with no ice, chill the glass first, while you make the drink. Fill the glass with ice and water then dump when you are ready to serve.
2. Set out the glasses as they are being ordered, to help you remember your order.
3. Keep your nails trimmed. There are loads of places to break a nail and little time to bandage it.
4. Always go either left to right or right to left when working your way down the bar. Be in the habit of going the same direction, so you don’t skip customers. Do Your Responsible Service Of Alcohol, RSA course online
5. Catch your beer caps and throw them away. They are very easy to get stuck to the bottom of your shoe and when you least expect it, cause you to slip.
6. Drink water. Soda and juice may give you a boost, but will also cause you to crash. On nights that you know that you will be really busy, eat plenty of complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. It sucks to lose wind in the middle of a rush! Do Your Responsible Service Of Alcohol, RSA course online
7. Always apologize. Whether you messed up a drink or ran over your co-worker, apologize on the spot. They may brood the rest of the night over it and cause friction. If you are in a big rush, sometimes you may forget all the little things that happened through the night.
8. Ask for help. There will be times that you can, in no way, serve everyone in the bar. This can lead to a melt down and nobody gets served. Your coworker may have gone on a break, or you have a much bigger crowd than usual, but you need help, so ask for it. The first place to ask is the barback, then anyone else that works in the bar. You can also ask your patrons to please be understanding of your situation, and to not yell out their orders. If a DJ is on hand, have them announce that everyone will be served, but to be patient. Whatever you do, don’t freak out! Do Your Responsible Service Of Alcohol, RSA course online
9. Have more than one blender. Frozen drinks are the most time consuming. Keep two blenders available for nights when time is minimal. You can use one for one kind and the other for a different kind, without having to stop and rinse out the Margarita so you can make a Pinacolada.
10. Stick a book of matches and a pen in your pocket at the beginning of the night, so you don’t have to stop and look for them if a customer asks for one. You can just toss it and go!
There are a lot of drink mixing websites that are out there, and they all offer different drink mixes. But one website that stands out is here, idrink offers over 32,000 different drink mixes so that your bar will not run out of ideas and will always be pulling new customers in. It is known that customers respond to new things they have not tried before, so it is also important that you advertise that you are offering a new drink, rather than simply adding it to the menu without telling anyone. A sign out the front of your bar will do the trick, and will be sure to keep the bar lively. So go online and get your RSA training certificate, so that you can work in a bar and start making some of these mixes.
