  • Some Fun Bar Items – Not in the RSA Course!

    No, you wont find these kinds of fun items in the RSA Course online, but they can be useful to know about when you are working in a bar or restaurant, because fun items lead to a fun atmosphere. But then again, you always have to consider the situation, that you would probably not use novelty fun items in in a more relaxed bar or restaurant, they are really not designed for that. But if you work in a night club that’s really all about fun, then these items could liven up the atmosphere just as you might need. Check out some of these fun items!

    Shotz Bar Pack

    The ‘Shotz Bar Pack’ is an interesting set of novelty items for your bar that all involve shot glasses. This pack gives you, first of all – 500 shot glasses that are plastic. This is useful firstly, because as the RSA Course teaches, glass shot glasses can be dangerous as glass tends to cut and break, whereas plastic doesn’t. In addition  there are 500 shot glass caps, a shot glass tray, a bandolier to carry shots, and a belt for easy access to shots. These also come in different colours, depending on what suits your bar.

    The Leather Shooter Belt

    A leather shooter belt is exactly how it sounds, it is simply two leather belts that go around and over your chest and hold shot glasses. This adds atmosphere to a bar and adds excitement to serving. Give it a go and see if it adds to the environment of your bar!

    Jager Bomb Cups!

    That’s right, they are essentially specially designed cups that are designed for jager bombs (red bull and jagermeister). These cups can be easy to use and also mean that there is less chance of glass falling anywhere.

    Test Tube Shot Glasses

    There are another type of shot glass out there, and they simply look like a test tube. This is interesting and different, it gives people a new way to take shots, and again, they are plastic so they do not pose the danger that you would have with glass shot glasses. These test tubes also come in racks, and add a different type of atmosphere to the bar, one that steps away from the conventional shot glass approach.

    Grab your RSA Course Certificate To Use Such Things

    Before you can work in a bar and use any of these new tools, you first need to go online and complete your RSA Course, to get your RSA Certificate. This ensures responsibility and safety when serving.

     

  • Naming and Shaming Alcohol Ads

    The government is thinking about instituting new groups to name and shame alcohol ads they believe are inducing underage drinking. This means that there will be less underage drinking. However, as a bar tender you should be able to tell if someone is underage, and it teaches you how to in the RSA Course. This will ensure that you are not subject to any fines for serving underage patrons, which is always a huge benefit.

    This is the kind of news that you should keep up with when working in a bar or restaurant, so get your RSA certificate today, and you will be able to work in any bar or restaurant around Australia. The process is fast and straightforward, so that you can get back to work ASAP!

     

     

  • The Basic Bar Manouvers – RSA Course Necessities

  • The Spill Proof Beer

    Yes i know that there is really no such thing as the spill proof beer, but this ad by Hahn makes it seem so realistic, check it out below.

    If only something like this really existed! But still, it is true that alcohol is really easy to spill in a busy bar, but it is more than often spilled by those who have had a bit too much. This is one of the signs that the RSA Course teaches you to deal with!

  • What Kinds Of Beer Will You Serve Safely With The RSA Course Online

    There are a massive number of beers that a bar can choose to serve! The RSA Course will teach you how to serve any kind of beer safely so that you do not end up with patrons fighting and causing danger to themselves or others. But what you might be thinking now, is what kinds of beer do most people want? What will people settle for? and should I offer different and uncommon types of beer for a little intrigue?  Well we’ll try to help as much as possible.

    Serving an Uncommon Type of Beer

    The RSA Course will teach you how to serve alcohol correctly and safely behind a bar or in a  restaurant, but it will not teach you how to make your bar more popular, and it will not teach you which kinds of beer you need to serve to make your bar successful. But here’s a tip, you could serve at least one kind of beer that is ‘different’ or uncommon. This could be anything that is not served all that commonly in other local bars and is something that people will recognize you for. For example, ‘Bintang’ is a beer that is exclusively served in Bali, but is well known to a lot of Australians who visit the region. This beer is the kind of drink that, if you served, would allow you to distinguish your bar from others. You would become known for serving Bintang.

    Serving The More Common Beers

    There are several beers that are served more commonly in Australian bars and restaurants simply because they are a crowd pleaser and taste good to most people. But you still have a selection even if it is between the popular beers. You could choose between these, for example, Tooheys New, XXXX Bitter, Carlton Mid, and you could also have a dry beer in there like Tooheys extra dry or ‘teds.’ But ultimately the selection is up to you, so choose depending on what is a better crowd pleaser in your region, and ultimately what will bring in more customers.

  • The Three Main Types of Beer

    There are three main types of beer that you can usually choose from in a bar, but usually you won’t have to make the decision because you will just go with a brand that you like. The three main types of beer are : Lagers – Ferments in the cold and sinks to the bottom of the brew Ales – Ferments in warmer temperatures and flocculates (concentrates) at the top during brewing Specialty Beers – This is usually a brew of the two beer types and thus cannot fit into one, nor the other category So take your pick from these few beers, and pick a brand that most appeals to you! But if you want to serve these three types and thus expand your knowledge base, you first need to jump online and grab your RSA certificate! Also check out the video below on how to distinguish between different types of beer.

     

  • Delivery of Alcohol

    Alcohol can sometimes be a nuisance to pick up for the every day person, and for this reason you can have your alcohol delivered. A bar can easily find someone to deliver their alcohol and kegs etc. But what about home delivery. This kind of a tip is not something you will find in the RSA course, but it is still handy and can be really helpful. You can use the delivery of alcohol for a few reasons, from sending a birthday present to spoiling yourself, or even if you are just lazy!

    So if you are looking for someone to deliver your alcohol, check out this site. They give good deals and can deliver a whole range of alcohol.

     

  • Hiring Bartenders – They Need Their RSA Certificate!

    If you are planning on hosting an event of some sort then the chances are that you will need to hire bar tenders to serve drinks for you, but you need to know that they have to have their RSA certificate to serve for you, otherwise you could get in some serious trouble with the law. This is only really a problem if you are hosting a large enough event that you will need bar tenders, as people usually have BYO events where they serve themselves.

    Hiring Bartenders With An RSA Certificate

    It would be really uncommon for a bar tender hire company to not have the RSA certificate for each of their tenders, this is because, as you see in the RSA Course, it is illegal to serve alcohol at any establishment if you do not have your RSA certificate. But so long as you go with a company, you should be fine with the law, so long as you just ask them if they have their RSA certificate before serving. If you are looking for a site that you can go to when looking for bar tenders, then check out this site, it has some really good testimonials; one of which can be seen below. “Hi Luke, Thank you so much for a truly amazing evening on Saturday night. The compliments we’ve received back from our guests have been amazing. You and Chris made our night. I know our guests kept you really busy. I didn’t even see you stop for a minute. It was a special occasion and having you there to make those amazing cocktails added to the sparkle. Its been a few days since the party and the compliments keep flowing. Keep up the good work guys. Hey and you even clean up after yourself! Once again Cheers and thank you for making Micks 50th Birthday a memorable one. Linda, Ferntree Gully.”

    So Why Should I Get My RSA Certificate?

    There are a lot of reasons for you to get online and grab your RSA Certificate, and the main one is that you could even work as one of these bar tenders for hire. The pay is good, and you get to meet a lot of new people. So if you like being sociable and having fun at a job, then you should definitely get online and complete your RSA Certificate course, as it is fast, straightforward and is really useful.

     

  • Cider vs. Beer

    It is an interesting debate, whether cider is better than beer or not and in the end it really comes down to what taste you prefer. Some people like to say that beer is more of a ‘mens drink’ but really if you prefer cider then you should just drink it because there is no use drinking beer if you prefer something else. Cider is essentially fermented juice from a fruit, that has an alcoholic percentage and can really taste good, but only to certain people. Cider is also particularly Australian, and there is a big agricultural market in growing and producing it. So ultimately it’s up to you, but if you are working behind a counter then it’s up to the customer what they drink, your preference doesn’t matter as the RSA Course will teach you (it’s all about the patron).
