  • Do Your RSA Course And Be Squeaky Clean

    Your RSA Course Will teach You How To Be Squeaky Clean When It Comes To the Rules And Regulations And Cleanliness

    RSA Course and Squeaky Clean Glasses

    Try as you might, it can seem impossible to get glassware spotless.While shot glasses may be emptied so quickly that a smudge may go unnoticed and drinks served over ice may camouflage a dirty glass, a professional will never take the chance. Having a  customer point out that their glass is dirty wastes time and money, diminishes reputation, and creates more work. Washing is only the first step. When using a barsink brush set, remember to use a twisting motion not an up and down one. Pay special attention to the rim of a glass, lip products are sticky and can be harder to remove. Rinse well, detergents may leave residue that can cause cloudiness in the glass and diarrhea in the customer. Wipe dry with a NON-Terry cloth towel. Terry cloth towels leave lint behind. Stemware is the most likely culprit for being called out on water spots and lint. Sometimes additional steps are needed to ensure that wine glasses, which are scrutinized while customers examine the color and clarity of the wine through the glass, are smudge free. Simply pour very hot water in a bowl, hold glass over water, allowing condensation to accumulate on glass. Wipe clean with dry, non-terry cloth.

    RSA Course And Work Relationships

    There is a reason why office romances are frowned upon. When its over, you still have to see that other person. Throw alcohol into the mix, and you have a highly volatile situation. Bartender Sheri has been flirting with Mark, a Saturday night regular. They date and start to get a little serious, when all of a sudden, things go wrong and they break up. Most girls would have the luxury of avoiding their ex, but not Sheri. Sheri has the misfortune of watching her ex hit on other women every Saturday night. Most girls would be able to leave if things got too painful, but Sheri has to stand there and be professional. If she has a melt down, she has to work through it, in front of her customers, coworkers and Mark. Bartender Alex has the sweetest girlfriend. They have been dating for 4 months. Alex has decided that despite his coworkers warnings, he is going to have his girlfriend, visit him at work. After a few shots of tequila, Alex’s sweet girlfriend is an angry, jealous girlfriend who threatens every woman that looks at Alex. After causing a fight, management asks Alex to not have his girlfriend in the bar again. These are worst case scenarios, but they have happened. Not all relationships will end badly, or even humiliate you in front of your co-workers, in a bar. You should ask yourself, however, is it worth it if it does happen? The RSA course is is more about rules and regulations which is why we write blog posts on all sorts of situations that may occur when you are working behind the bar so you can think about what you might do.The RSA course teaches how to serve alcohol responsibly.

  • Pushing Over Stock

    Your bar’s distributor may have a special, there may have been a mistake when the order was placed or over stock could just be remnants of a special occasion. Every bar ends up with a larger than desired quantity of certain drinks, periodically. It is your job to move them. Management may give you a game plan to start with, but ultimately you have to sell it. Here are a few ideas for pushing overstocked alcohol. Run a special. This helps if you have a white board or black board, to alert patrons that there is a drink special. List the alcohol and suggest drinks. Say you have too much Rum, print RUM SPECIAL! List a few easy rum drinks like Rum Runners, Daiquiris, Pina Coladas and so on. List a discount price, or the difference. Listing the difference, say $1 off, is better than the price. People want to know how much of a discount they are getting. Make up a new drink and play it up. Buy one for a customer and get their take on it. Offer it to every customer who walks in. Just make sure that this drink is primarily made up of the overstock. When all else fails, make jello shots with it! When all else fails, make jelly shots with it. But making jelly shots in a bar is yet another thing that requires a responsible service of alcohol certificate, so go online and get yours today.

     

  • Training Your Wait Staff With The RSA Course

    RSA Course Online Training – Teaches Responsible Service Of Alcohol

    RSA Training Online teaches you that the key to a great working relationship with your waitress is fluidity. They give you their drink orders and you make them, no hitches, no questions, just a smooth interaction. How do you do this? You have to train your own wait staff. You have to be upfront and let them know what you expect. No, you are not their boss and you should not be demanding, but you need to be firm on how you would like to take their orders and so forth.

    First, the proper way to call drinks is shots, mixers, beers and non alcoholics. But, you may prefer to hear your nonalcoholics along with your mixers, since you will have the gun in hand already, or shots last. However you work better, be adamant that this is how you would like to hear orders called out. Every time they slip up and call out of order, let them know that it throws you off.

    If you want the wait staff to wait for you to ask them what they need before calling, tell him or her. If they leave empties on the bar and it is not your job to clear them, let them know that they need to clear their own, or tell them where to put them so the bareback man can do it. Or let them know that they are wasting time for both of you, by not having their money out to pay for the drinks. Tell them that they need to have it out and ready before you are finished making their drinks.

    RSA Course Online Teaches

    There is protocol in every establishment, so familiarize yourself with all the rules and regulations. If you have questions about what you should do in any situation go to your supervisor or manager. Don’t forget to ask your wait staff for their opinions on how to make things run smoother. Getting through a successful workday is a team effort.

    The RSA course is designed to make serving alcohol responsibly an easy task. There are rules and regulations set by the government to ensure the safety and well being of everyone.

    So if you are applying for your RSA course responsible service of alcohol certificate with the RSA Course online, then be prepared to put what you have learned here into action once you start working in a bar or licensed premises.

  • Bartenders Survival Kit – RSA Training

    RSA Training – Always be Prepared

    As a bartender, you will find that there are slow nights and there are nights that you barely have time to breath, luckily RSA training is here to help. There will be nights when you wish that you had never even clocked in. And there will be times when you find yourself ill prepared. You will kick yourself for not having extra this or one of those and you will learn from every situation, because RSA training Australia can only teach you preliminary requirements and your experience is crucial to learning. Some bartenders carry a bag of some sort, filled with their individual “must haves”. Here are a few things that you might want to keep packed in a bag and stored in your vehicle or behind the bar. This RSA Training will teach you what you need to keep handy and why.

    RSA – Training you in things to always have handy

    1. Extra Shoes: Sometimes you may come close to trading your soul for a pair of flip flops when you wear a new pair of shoes to work.
    2. Panadol: this can come in handy for you or a cranky customer,  but with RSA training you shouldn’t need panadol to calm a customer.
    3. Safety Pins: You never know when a wardrobe mishap will happen.
    4. Spare Change Of Clothes: In case the wardrobe mishap is bigger than a safety pin can fix.
    5. Super Glue: Band Aids just don’t work on a bartenders fingers, but super glue can close a wound and get you back to slinging drinks in no time.
    6. Snack: Museli bar, peanuts, crackers… anything to stave off hunger when you need a quick snack. Snacks will sustain you when trying to remember all those RSA training tips!
    7. Lighters: Even if you don’t smoke, it is nice to have a lighter for those who have lost theirs.
    8. Spare Keys
    9. Chewing Gum
    10. Condoms: Even if you don’t need them, someone will. And people who have been drinking will often overlook this sort of protection. You can’t keep people from going home with each other, but you can offer them some protection. Safe sex is nothing to be squeamish about.
    11. Ponytail Holders: Women who have been dancing and are sweaty will ask for them ALL THE TIME.
    12. (LADIES) Sanitary Napkins or Tampons: Not only is it a good idea to keep them for yourself, but women will ask you if you have them.
    13. Deodorant: You will sweat!
    14. Eye Drops: If you work in a smoking environment, you may find this handy.
    15. Nail File: You will break nails.
    16. Pens: It never fails, the busiest nights are when all the pens disappear.
    17. Deck of Playing Cards: There is a guy in every crowd who will ask for them, I don’t get it but there is.
    18. Phone Book: Never hurts to have one on hand, in case the bar gremlins hijack the bar’s phonebook.

  • Change: Getting it right, every time

    It sounds simple. People do it everyday. But giving change to people who have been drinking can sometimes spark a debate. You never know when a customer will become confused about  prices, the amount they gave you or the amount you gave back. Here are a few tips to help keep it straight.

    Always repeat the amount that you were handed. If a customer gave you a ten, state the amount that you are charging out of ten. This way, not only you and the customer know the amount of the transaction, but there will be witnesses. If the customer disputes that they gave you a lesser amount, it won’t be his word against yours.

    Keep the money in hand. Fold it lengthwise and wrap it around the inside of your middle finger with the ends sticking out the outside of your hand (this is an old cocktail waitress trick). Pull the change from the register, count it back and ask the customer if the amount is correct. If they argue and say that they gave you a bigger bill, you can show them exactly what they gave you. Then put the bill in the register.

    Don’t take offense to a customer accusing you of trying to rip them off. They have been drinking and may be intoxicated. If you always cover your own back, you can prove that you are honest and there will be no doubt as to who’s mistake the incident was.

    Dealing with customers and giving the correct change is all part of the RSA training Australia online course. Taking this course will allow you to work in a bar and keep your customers satisfied with their service.
