  • RSA Course And The Facts About Alcohol Intolerance

    The RSA Course lists a few of the reactions that occur in the most common cases of Alcohol intolerance. We are going to go into a bit more detail here. Some people will have a stronger reaction to alcohol than others, and in these cases you will see the signs and serve them appropriately. But this is not always the case, some people will have a strong reaction to alcohol in the sense that they almost get an allergic reaction when drinking it. This will likely be an uncommon occurrence when you are working behind a bar because people usually know if they are going to have this reaction to alcohol, and so they know when they should stop drinking to avoid getting any sort of injury to their body.

    So What Are The Symptoms?

    There are several symptoms that you can get when you have this kind of a reaction to alcohol. The symptoms may include: Congestion and Flushing Skin These symptoms are rather common, and usually they do not cause much harm and don’t really affect the person, apart from making them look rather red, as well as causing some congestion issues.  Sometimes, though, as the RSA Course teaches, people can be fairly oblivious to an alcohol intolerance and take it a bit over the line. If you know the symptoms you can point them out to the person and to their friends. In a severe allergic reaction, which could be because of the preservatives or additives in the drink, the person may suffer from swelling of the throat, difficulty breathing and life threatening reaction requiring an injection of adrenaline. This is extremely rare and you are unlikely to ever come across it. You are more likely to see this from an allergic reaction to a peanut or seafood.

  • Furniture for Your Bar – RSA Course

    The RSA Course won’t teach you things about day to day operation of a bar, other than your responsibility when serving alcohol. One thing that is useful to know, if you plan to set up a bar, is that bars usually need to replace their furniture after only a little while. This is simply because bars can be rowdy and they can also get a little wild. Furniture gets stained and ripped, so unless you have the sturdiest of furniture then you will have to be able to replace furniture all the time. This may be considered a downside to owning and operating a bar, but it is only a small cost, and so long as you invest in the right bar equipment and sturdy furniture, then the replacement of furniture will not be as often as you might think it will be. This means that you have to shop around, don’t just walk into a furniture depot and buy the first set of stools that you see, you first want to be able to look online at what is available and then make an educated decision on equipment and furniture that is strong and cheap!

    Choosing Furniture

    There are so many options that you can go with when choosing what furniture you would like to use in your bar, and you do need to shop around a bit. In case you are time poor, here are a few options that you could possibly go with. Remember that your options are not limited to these choices!

    Trading post – bar furniture search

    Bar furniture specializing site

    Bar Table Bases

    Regular Furniture Sale

    Bar Furniture Store Locator

    There are so many options, and you might find that sturdy bar furniture is often less appealing. Good looking bar furniture is not always sturdy and can sometimes be expensive, and if you find a mix of a sturdy appealing piece of furniture, it is often very expensive. It is for these three reasons that you need to shop around, because you don’t always have to go with the expensive option! Just know that tips like this are not in the RSA Course, but the course will allow you to serve drinks in a safe and responsible manner!

  • Maximising Your Bar’s Potential – With Responsible Service of Alcohol

    As you already know, alcohol must always be served with safety and responsibility, but the ways in which you can do this are taught in the responsible service of alcohol course online. It is important to know all the safety measures, but one thing you may not be realizing, is that while you know all this safety precaution – you can move onto working on larger projects. Essentially, you want to be able to make your bar as popular as possible, even if you are not the owner of it and won’t see the profit. You have to realize, that in the future you will see the profit in the form of the jobs that are offered to you. At this point you might be asking yourself, what is he talking about? All that is being said, is that if you work hard on the popularity of your bar, then you will instantly become more hire-able. Because in the night life industry, people are looking for good bar tenders as they are the real life blood of the bar. A dull and boring bar tender will slow the progress of the bar, and profits will be lowered.

    So What Do I Do? After Getting My Responsible Service of Alcohol Certificate

    So if you already have your responsible service of alcohol certificate, then you immediately want to make yourself hire-able, and to do this you need to study up on how to mix drinks as that makes you stand out more in any sort of interview process. The less they have to teach, the more of an asset you are to them.

    Secondly, you want to ask about improvements to the bar – A manager might not see the nightlife first hand, and if you have then you can give some good tips on what the people want. Don’t be afraid to share experience!

    Third: Be as friendly as possible on the job. As a bar tender, the Responsible Service of Alcohol course will teach you that you can’t lash out at anyone on the job – and it shows you how to avoid lashing out too. Develop your people skills so you are not afraid to talk to anyone, and you will be seen as more and more of an asset.

    Fourth, tone your attitude to the attitude of the place that you are working in. There is no sense in being laid back and easy in a bar that is the hot spot of a town, if your bar is going off, then pick up the pace and engage in some of the fun!

  • Using Absynthe Properly

    Absynthe is renowned as one of the strongest liqueurs that you can drink, and as such it has a ‘proper’ way that you can drink it. Check out this set of instructions on how to drink it properly. Also remember to serve it safely as the RSA Course outlines.

    29ml absinthe (any type) 29 ml  Solo
    Add the Solo to one cup and add absinthe to another. Then you need to set the absinthe on fire and wait 5 seconds before pouring it into the cup of Solo being careful. Finally, tip the absinthe cup upside down and inhale through a straw under the edge of the cup, finally, you take the shot! But this is a strong shot so be prepared to handle those who take it.
  • Bar Designs – Responsible Service of Alcohol

    Designing a Bar or Restaurant – Responsible Service of Alcohol

    Bars and restaurants need a flaring design to bring in customers and really get the atmosphere moving, but remember that the Responsible Service of Alcohol course teaches you to always serve properly! People  appreciate a bar that is not dull or boring; could you imagine if a bar was simply blank and boring? People would simply not find it interesting and the atmosphere would not get started! That is one of the keys to making your bar successful, along with being really knowledgeable and having bar tending skills; you need to have a bar that is interesting and fun. The Responsible Service of Alcohol course does not go into bar design, so we thought we would give some tips here and you can easily do some more research and find out for yourself.

    Some Examples of Designs – For Bar Owners Who Have Their Responsible Service of Alcohol Course Certificate

    There are so many different bar designs that you can choose from, and these designs are suitable for different bars, so you might want to use some of these for your own bar and increase its popularity. If you would like to take a look at some interesting bar designs, I recommend that you have a look at this site, which details a huge range of different bar designs that one person has made. These range from bars that are designed for just a casual drink, to a bar that is designed to go off when the nightlife starts. It is really up to you how you want your bar to look and feel. Just remember that a bar that is noisy, loud and busy will bring in the cash, but have high running costs. While a laid back bar is more likely to just have a steady and smooth income with lower running costs (less damage to the bar).

    A Few Things To Remember – Complementary to the RSA course:

    There are a few things to remember when you are opening a bar after choosing your own design. The primary thing to look out for is making the bar suitable for the environment that you plan to be hosted there. This just means that if you want your bar to be busy and go off, then you need to design it like a fortress! Make sure that things are tied down and limit the amount of glass that there is. This complies with the Responsible Service of Alcohol course, as the less there is to use as a weapon, the less chance of a dangerous fight. Another thing to remember is that your bar tending skills should match the environment too. You don’t want to work at a busy bar if you can’t handle it. So if you would rather a laid back bar, you should know your stuff (all the kinds of smooth mixes) and if you are looking to work in a busy and fun environment, know how to make things fast and simply, with some flare to your tending!

    The Responsible Service of Alcohol course allows you to work in a bar atmosphere of your choice! So get started today!
