BARTENDER REQUIREMENTS

PURPOSE To keep the lounge operating smoothly and ensure uniformity of operation

All bartenders will be expected to report to work on time Early is- ON TIME On Time is LATE and Late is UNACCEPTABLE The bar opens at 4pm M-F 11 am on Sat and 1 pm on Sunday showing up 5 minutes 10 minutes even 2 minutes late prevents the bar from opening on time This is an inconvenience to our members and can be avoided if one arrives at least 15 minutes before opening (and clock-in) If the employee is going to be late a phone call will be made to the manager as soon as possible to allow arrangement for a substitute

All bartenders are expected to be dressed in proper attire No torn or tattered clothing is to be worn Cut-offs are not permitted Bartenders are expected to wear non-suggestive clothing For more specific details see Employee Dress Code section of this manual

Persons to be served are members in good standing or their guest(s) If the bartender is not sure if membership is current check the membership card of the member

All bartenders are expected to card anyone who is not known to be 21 years of age or older Should the guest or member be unwilling or unable to show proper identification she will not be served and will be asked to leave the lodge

Bartenders will prepare the requested beverage for the member or guest and be paid immediately unless a tab is being kept All sales will be rung on the register All tabs will be closed out and paid for when the member and guest(s) leave or when the lounge closes whichever occurs first unless approved by the Club Manager Only members can have a tab

All bartenders will prepare mixers (ie sour mix) and fruit garnishes for drinks as needed Old or spoiled fruit will be discarded

All bartenders are to make sure all members and guests are to be served without a long wait Conversations or visiting with friends should not cause the bartender to be distracted from other patrons

Members and guests are not permitted behind the bar If a member or guest needs to use the phone show them to the phone in the lobby or the second phone in the lounge on the tall bar table in the rear OPENING BARTENDER DUTIES

1 Turn on lights and unlock back door 2 Fill the ice bin with ice 3 Open liquor room and remove drawer Keep in mind you are responsible for this money you may want to

count it to make sure it is correct 4 Set up the well and call brands if not already in place 5 Stock all beer coolers 6 Fill three-part sink - first sink gets one packet of soap second sink gets 2 sanitizer tablets and the third

sink gets plain water all in rather hot water On longer shifts it is the bartenders responsibility to make sure water is at least warm If it gets cold the sink must be redone to ensure proper sanitation of glasses

7 Place clean ashtrays on bar and tables 8 Cut fruit and prepare mixes if needed 9 Stock napkins small and large straws toothpicks margarita salt and other bar items 10 Make sure all tables in lounge are clean

During Shift Duties

1 If members ask for snacks sell it to them However the snacks belong in the back room NOT on the back of the beer taps Putting them there is unattractive sloppy and lazy bartending

2 Make sure that all tabs are filled out properly with DATE NAME OF MEMBER and BARTENDERS INITIALS Write a description of beverage and price keep a tally of drinks ordered REMEMBER Happy Hour is only from 4 to 7pm M-F and all day Sat and Sun so make a slash to indicate price change All of this information makes it easier for another bartender to ring up a held tab clear up problems with a member and provide consistency for all staff to follow

3 If you have time to lean you have time to clean Ask oneself if the pourers have been soaked recently if the wells racks and bottles have been wiped etc Keep in mind that a clean bar is a bug free barand who wants bugs

4 Everyone who comes in is either a member or guest and should be treated as such While one may develop better relationships with some ALL should be treated with respect and prompt service

5 Tips are not required they are a benefit that most members give However if a member does not tip that is not license to refuse or decrease service

11

6 It is the bartenders responsibility to determine if the member has had enough and cut them off if this is the case The bartender has the right and frankly the responsibility to cut off anyone who seems drunk Remember no matter how much they have had to drink the bartender is the ONLY sober one in the bar

CLOSE OF SHIFT DUTIES

1 Wash ALL dishes beer grates and ashtrays and snack bowls 2 Last call is given 15 minutes before closing Once last call is given everyone has the chance to get one

Bartending is a great job When the bar is clean stocked and organized everyone benefits When the bar is dirty empty and disheveled everyone suffers Keep this in mind when tending bar It is the responsibility of the bartender to maintain a good working environment for all staff and a fun atmosphere for all members This is not a list of what could be done this is a list of what should be done

BARTENDER REQUIREMENTS

PURPOSE To keep the lounge operating smoothly and ensure uniformity of operation

All bartenders will be expected to report to work on time Early is- ON TIME On Time is LATE and Late is UNACCEPTABLE The bar opens at 4pm M-F 11 am on Sat and 1 pm on Sunday showing up 5 minutes 10 minutes even 2 minutes late prevents the bar from opening on time This is an inconvenience to our members and can be avoided if one arrives at least 15 minutes before opening (and clock-in) If the employee is going to be late a phone call will be made to the manager as soon as possible to allow arrangement for a substitute

All bartenders are expected to be dressed in proper attire No torn or tattered clothing is to be worn Cut-offs are not permitted Bartenders are expected to wear non-suggestive clothing For more specific details see Employee Dress Code section of this manual

Persons to be served are members in good standing or their guest(s) If the bartender is not sure if membership is current check the membership card of the member

All bartenders are expected to card anyone who is not known to be 21 years of age or older Should the guest or member be unwilling or unable to show proper identification she will not be served and will be asked to leave the lodge

Bartenders will prepare the requested beverage for the member or guest and be paid immediately unless a tab is being kept All sales will be rung on the register All tabs will be closed out and paid for when the member and guest(s) leave or when the lounge closes whichever occurs first unless approved by the Club Manager Only members can have a tab

All bartenders will prepare mixers (ie sour mix) and fruit garnishes for drinks as needed Old or spoiled fruit will be discarded

All bartenders are to make sure all members and guests are to be served without a long wait Conversations or visiting with friends should not cause the bartender to be distracted from other patrons

Members and guests are not permitted behind the bar If a member or guest needs to use the phone show them to the phone in the lobby or the second phone in the lounge on the tall bar table in the rear OPENING BARTENDER DUTIES

1 Turn on lights and unlock back door 2 Fill the ice bin with ice 3 Open liquor room and remove drawer Keep in mind you are responsible for this money you may want to

count it to make sure it is correct 4 Set up the well and call brands if not already in place 5 Stock all beer coolers 6 Fill three-part sink - first sink gets one packet of soap second sink gets 2 sanitizer tablets and the third

sink gets plain water all in rather hot water On longer shifts it is the bartenders responsibility to make sure water is at least warm If it gets cold the sink must be redone to ensure proper sanitation of glasses

7 Place clean ashtrays on bar and tables 8 Cut fruit and prepare mixes if needed 9 Stock napkins small and large straws toothpicks margarita salt and other bar items 10 Make sure all tables in lounge are clean

During Shift Duties

1 If members ask for snacks sell it to them However the snacks belong in the back room NOT on the back of the beer taps Putting them there is unattractive sloppy and lazy bartending

2 Make sure that all tabs are filled out properly with DATE NAME OF MEMBER and BARTENDERS INITIALS Write a description of beverage and price keep a tally of drinks ordered REMEMBER Happy Hour is only from 4 to 7pm M-F and all day Sat and Sun so make a slash to indicate price change All of this information makes it easier for another bartender to ring up a held tab clear up problems with a member and provide consistency for all staff to follow

3 If you have time to lean you have time to clean Ask oneself if the pourers have been soaked recently if the wells racks and bottles have been wiped etc Keep in mind that a clean bar is a bug free barand who wants bugs

4 Everyone who comes in is either a member or guest and should be treated as such While one may develop better relationships with some ALL should be treated with respect and prompt service

5 Tips are not required they are a benefit that most members give However if a member does not tip that is not license to refuse or decrease service

11

6 It is the bartenders responsibility to determine if the member has had enough and cut them off if this is the case The bartender has the right and frankly the responsibility to cut off anyone who seems drunk Remember no matter how much they have had to drink the bartender is the ONLY sober one in the bar

CLOSE OF SHIFT DUTIES

1 Wash ALL dishes beer grates and ashtrays and snack bowls 2 Last call is given 15 minutes before closing Once last call is given everyone has the chance to get one

more drink 3 If possible it is fine to stock beer during the shift but there are times when this is not feasible So the

BARTENDER REQUIREMENTS

PURPOSE To keep the lounge operating smoothly and ensure uniformity of operation

All bartenders will be expected to report to work on time Early is- ON TIME On Time is LATE and Late is UNACCEPTABLE The bar opens at 4pm M-F 11 am on Sat and 1 pm on Sunday showing up 5 minutes 10 minutes even 2 minutes late prevents the bar from opening on time This is an inconvenience to our members and can be avoided if one arrives at least 15 minutes before opening (and clock-in) If the employee is going to be late a phone call will be made to the manager as soon as possible to allow arrangement for a substitute

All bartenders are expected to be dressed in proper attire No torn or tattered clothing is to be worn Cut-offs are not permitted Bartenders are expected to wear non-suggestive clothing For more specific details see Employee Dress Code section of this manual

Persons to be served are members in good standing or their guest(s) If the bartender is not sure if membership is current check the membership card of the member

All bartenders are expected to card anyone who is not known to be 21 years of age or older Should the guest or member be unwilling or unable to show proper identification she will not be served and will be asked to leave the lodge

Bartenders will prepare the requested beverage for the member or guest and be paid immediately unless a tab is being kept All sales will be rung on the register All tabs will be closed out and paid for when the member and guest(s) leave or when the lounge closes whichever occurs first unless approved by the Club Manager Only members can have a tab

All bartenders will prepare mixers (ie sour mix) and fruit garnishes for drinks as needed Old or spoiled fruit will be discarded

All bartenders are to make sure all members and guests are to be served without a long wait Conversations or visiting with friends should not cause the bartender to be distracted from other patrons

Members and guests are not permitted behind the bar If a member or guest needs to use the phone show them to the phone in the lobby or the second phone in the lounge on the tall bar table in the rear OPENING BARTENDER DUTIES

1 Turn on lights and unlock back door 2 Fill the ice bin with ice 3 Open liquor room and remove drawer Keep in mind you are responsible for this money you may want to

count it to make sure it is correct 4 Set up the well and call brands if not already in place 5 Stock all beer coolers 6 Fill three-part sink - first sink gets one packet of soap second sink gets 2 sanitizer tablets and the third

sink gets plain water all in rather hot water On longer shifts it is the bartenders responsibility to make sure water is at least warm If it gets cold the sink must be redone to ensure proper sanitation of glasses

7 Place clean ashtrays on bar and tables 8 Cut fruit and prepare mixes if needed 9 Stock napkins small and large straws toothpicks margarita salt and other bar items 10 Make sure all tables in lounge are clean

During Shift Duties

1 If members ask for snacks sell it to them However the snacks belong in the back room NOT on the back of the beer taps Putting them there is unattractive sloppy and lazy bartending

2 Make sure that all tabs are filled out properly with DATE NAME OF MEMBER and BARTENDERS INITIALS Write a description of beverage and price keep a tally of drinks ordered REMEMBER Happy Hour is only from 4 to 7pm M-F and all day Sat and Sun so make a slash to indicate price change All of this information makes it easier for another bartender to ring up a held tab clear up problems with a member and provide consistency for all staff to follow

3 If you have time to lean you have time to clean Ask oneself if the pourers have been soaked recently if the wells racks and bottles have been wiped etc Keep in mind that a clean bar is a bug free barand who wants bugs

4 Everyone who comes in is either a member or guest and should be treated as such While one may develop better relationships with some ALL should be treated with respect and prompt service

5 Tips are not required they are a benefit that most members give However if a member does not tip that is not license to refuse or decrease service

11

6 It is the bartenders responsibility to determine if the member has had enough and cut them off if this is the case The bartender has the right and frankly the responsibility to cut off anyone who seems drunk Remember no matter how much they have had to drink the bartender is the ONLY sober one in the bar

CLOSE OF SHIFT DUTIES

1 Wash ALL dishes beer grates and ashtrays and snack bowls 2 Last call is given 15 minutes before closing Once last call is given everyone has the chance to get one

more drink 3 If possible it is fine to stock beer during the shift but there are times when this is not feasible So the

beer must be stocked and rotated after last call Fill front cooler with beer from the back and fill the back cooler with beer from the beer room New beer goes under older beer

4 After all glassware is washed the bar mat and the beer grates can be washed in the three-part sink 5 Wipe out and clean beer well 6 Pour a splash of bleach in each beer drain and follow that with very hot water Wipe all stainless steel

surfaces on all coolers to remove crumbs and spills 7 Wipe the countertop of the bar and adjust seating around the bar so that it is neat and orderly 8 Wipe all tables inside and on the patio clean ashtrays 9 Stock beverage napkins straws juices and can sodas 10 Drain the three-part sink one sink at a time 11 Put beer grates back on beer cooler standing up to dry 12 Place bar mat back in proper place and put away fruit 13 Due to the lack of locks on the liquor racks and wells all bottles must be put in liquor room 14 Make sure all glassware is put away then ring out the mat and lay it over sink to dry 15 Run credit card report count drawer and lock in liquor room Lock the back door and the beer room 16 Turn off all the lights fans and TVs 17 Check all doors to be sure they are securely locked 18 As one walks down the hall to clock out turn out the lights in the poolroom and its bathroom the mens

Bartending is a great job When the bar is clean stocked and organized everyone benefits When the bar is dirty empty and disheveled everyone suffers Keep this in mind when tending bar It is the responsibility of the bartender to maintain a good working environment for all staff and a fun atmosphere for all members This is not a list of what could be done this is a list of what should be done

BARTENDER REQUIREMENTS

PURPOSE To keep the lounge operating smoothly and ensure uniformity of operation

All bartenders will be expected to report to work on time Early is- ON TIME On Time is LATE and Late is UNACCEPTABLE The bar opens at 4pm M-F 11 am on Sat and 1 pm on Sunday showing up 5 minutes 10 minutes even 2 minutes late prevents the bar from opening on time This is an inconvenience to our members and can be avoided if one arrives at least 15 minutes before opening (and clock-in) If the employee is going to be late a phone call will be made to the manager as soon as possible to allow arrangement for a substitute

All bartenders are expected to be dressed in proper attire No torn or tattered clothing is to be worn Cut-offs are not permitted Bartenders are expected to wear non-suggestive clothing For more specific details see Employee Dress Code section of this manual

Persons to be served are members in good standing or their guest(s) If the bartender is not sure if membership is current check the membership card of the member

All bartenders are expected to card anyone who is not known to be 21 years of age or older Should the guest or member be unwilling or unable to show proper identification she will not be served and will be asked to leave the lodge

Bartenders will prepare the requested beverage for the member or guest and be paid immediately unless a tab is being kept All sales will be rung on the register All tabs will be closed out and paid for when the member and guest(s) leave or when the lounge closes whichever occurs first unless approved by the Club Manager Only members can have a tab

All bartenders will prepare mixers (ie sour mix) and fruit garnishes for drinks as needed Old or spoiled fruit will be discarded

All bartenders are to make sure all members and guests are to be served without a long wait Conversations or visiting with friends should not cause the bartender to be distracted from other patrons

Members and guests are not permitted behind the bar If a member or guest needs to use the phone show them to the phone in the lobby or the second phone in the lounge on the tall bar table in the rear OPENING BARTENDER DUTIES

count it to make sure it is correct 4 Set up the well and call brands if not already in place 5 Stock all beer coolers 6 Fill three-part sink - first sink gets one packet of soap second sink gets 2 sanitizer tablets and the third

7 Place clean ashtrays on bar and tables 8 Cut fruit and prepare mixes if needed 9 Stock napkins small and large straws toothpicks margarita salt and other bar items 10 Make sure all tables in lounge are clean

During Shift Duties

1 If members ask for snacks sell it to them However the snacks belong in the back room NOT on the back of the beer taps Putting them there is unattractive sloppy and lazy bartending

2 Make sure that all tabs are filled out properly with DATE NAME OF MEMBER and BARTENDERS INITIALS Write a description of beverage and price keep a tally of drinks ordered REMEMBER Happy Hour is only from 4 to 7pm M-F and all day Sat and Sun so make a slash to indicate price change All of this information makes it easier for another bartender to ring up a held tab clear up problems with a member and provide consistency for all staff to follow

3 If you have time to lean you have time to clean Ask oneself if the pourers have been soaked recently if the wells racks and bottles have been wiped etc Keep in mind that a clean bar is a bug free barand who wants bugs

4 Everyone who comes in is either a member or guest and should be treated as such While one may develop better relationships with some ALL should be treated with respect and prompt service

5 Tips are not required they are a benefit that most members give However if a member does not tip that is not license to refuse or decrease service

11

6 It is the bartenders responsibility to determine if the member has had enough and cut them off if this is the case The bartender has the right and frankly the responsibility to cut off anyone who seems drunk Remember no matter how much they have had to drink the bartender is the ONLY sober one in the bar

BARTENDER REQUIREMENTS

PURPOSE To keep the lounge operating smoothly and ensure uniformity of operation

All bartenders will be expected to report to work on time Early is- ON TIME On Time is LATE and Late is UNACCEPTABLE The bar opens at 4pm M-F 11 am on Sat and 1 pm on Sunday showing up 5 minutes 10 minutes even 2 minutes late prevents the bar from opening on time This is an inconvenience to our members and can be avoided if one arrives at least 15 minutes before opening (and clock-in) If the employee is going to be late a phone call will be made to the manager as soon as possible to allow arrangement for a substitute

All bartenders are expected to be dressed in proper attire No torn or tattered clothing is to be worn Cut-offs are not permitted Bartenders are expected to wear non-suggestive clothing For more specific details see Employee Dress Code section of this manual

Persons to be served are members in good standing or their guest(s) If the bartender is not sure if membership is current check the membership card of the member

All bartenders are expected to card anyone who is not known to be 21 years of age or older Should the guest or member be unwilling or unable to show proper identification she will not be served and will be asked to leave the lodge

Bartenders will prepare the requested beverage for the member or guest and be paid immediately unless a tab is being kept All sales will be rung on the register All tabs will be closed out and paid for when the member and guest(s) leave or when the lounge closes whichever occurs first unless approved by the Club Manager Only members can have a tab

All bartenders will prepare mixers (ie sour mix) and fruit garnishes for drinks as needed Old or spoiled fruit will be discarded

All bartenders are to make sure all members and guests are to be served without a long wait Conversations or visiting with friends should not cause the bartender to be distracted from other patrons

Members and guests are not permitted behind the bar If a member or guest needs to use the phone show them to the phone in the lobby or the second phone in the lounge on the tall bar table in the rear OPENING BARTENDER DUTIES

1 Turn on lights and unlock back door 2 Fill the ice bin with ice 3 Open liquor room and remove drawer Keep in mind you are responsible for this money you may want to

count it to make sure it is correct 4 Set up the well and call brands if not already in place 5 Stock all beer coolers 6 Fill three-part sink - first sink gets one packet of soap second sink gets 2 sanitizer tablets and the third

sink gets plain water all in rather hot water On longer shifts it is the bartenders responsibility to make sure water is at least warm If it gets cold the sink must be redone to ensure proper sanitation of glasses

7 Place clean ashtrays on bar and tables 8 Cut fruit and prepare mixes if needed 9 Stock napkins small and large straws toothpicks margarita salt and other bar items 10 Make sure all tables in lounge are clean

During Shift Duties

1 If members ask for snacks sell it to them However the snacks belong in the back room NOT on the back of the beer taps Putting them there is unattractive sloppy and lazy bartending

2 Make sure that all tabs are filled out properly with DATE NAME OF MEMBER and BARTENDERS INITIALS Write a description of beverage and price keep a tally of drinks ordered REMEMBER Happy Hour is only from 4 to 7pm M-F and all day Sat and Sun so make a slash to indicate price change All of this information makes it easier for another bartender to ring up a held tab clear up problems with a member and provide consistency for all staff to follow

3 If you have time to lean you have time to clean Ask oneself if the pourers have been soaked recently if the wells racks and bottles have been wiped etc Keep in mind that a clean bar is a bug free barand who wants bugs

4 Everyone who comes in is either a member or guest and should be treated as such While one may develop better relationships with some ALL should be treated with respect and prompt service

5 Tips are not required they are a benefit that most members give However if a member does not tip that is not license to refuse or decrease service

11

6 It is the bartenders responsibility to determine if the member has had enough and cut them off if this is the case The bartender has the right and frankly the responsibility to cut off anyone who seems drunk Remember no matter how much they have had to drink the bartender is the ONLY sober one in the bar

CLOSE OF SHIFT DUTIES

1 Wash ALL dishes beer grates and ashtrays and snack bowls 2 Last call is given 15 minutes before closing Once last call is given everyone has the chance to get one

more drink 3 If possible it is fine to stock beer during the shift but there are times when this is not feasible So the

beer must be stocked and rotated after last call Fill front cooler with beer from the back and fill the back cooler with beer from the beer room New beer goes under older beer

4 After all glassware is washed the bar mat and the beer grates can be washed in the three-part sink 5 Wipe out and clean beer well 6 Pour a splash of bleach in each beer drain and follow that with very hot water Wipe all stainless steel

surfaces on all coolers to remove crumbs and spills 7 Wipe the countertop of the bar and adjust seating around the bar so that it is neat and orderly 8 Wipe all tables inside and on the patio clean ashtrays 9 Stock beverage napkins straws juices and can sodas 10 Drain the three-part sink one sink at a time 11 Put beer grates back on beer cooler standing up to dry 12 Place bar mat back in proper place and put away fruit 13 Due to the lack of locks on the liquor racks and wells all bottles must be put in liquor room 14 Make sure all glassware is put away then ring out the mat and lay it over sink to dry 15 Run credit card report count drawer and lock in liquor room Lock the back door and the beer room 16 Turn off all the lights fans and TVs 17 Check all doors to be sure they are securely locked 18 As one walks down the hall to clock out turn out the lights in the poolroom and its bathroom the mens

room and the ladies room 19 Clock out and make sure all lights in dining room and kitchen are out as well 20 Punch in code turn out light switches in foyer and lock the front door Put keys in drop box 21 Clean out the popcorn machine

Bartending is a great job When the bar is clean stocked and organized everyone benefits When the bar is dirty empty and disheveled everyone suffers Keep this in mind when tending bar It is the responsibility of the bartender to maintain a good working environment for all staff and a fun atmosphere for all members This is not a list of what could be done this is a list of what should be done

1 Turn on lights and unlock back door 2 Fill the ice bin with ice 3 Open liquor room and remove drawer Keep in mind you are responsible for this money you may want to

count it to make sure it is correct 4 Set up the well and call brands if not already in place 5 Stock all beer coolers 6 Fill three-part sink - first sink gets one packet of soap second sink gets 2 sanitizer tablets and the third

During Shift Duties

2 Make sure that all tabs are filled out properly with DATE NAME OF MEMBER and BARTENDERS INITIALS Write a description of beverage and price keep a tally of drinks ordered REMEMBER Happy Hour is only from 4 to 7pm M-F and all day Sat and Sun so make a slash to indicate price change All of this information makes it easier for another bartender to ring up a held tab clear up problems with a member and provide consistency for all staff to follow

3 If you have time to lean you have time to clean Ask oneself if the pourers have been soaked recently if the wells racks and bottles have been wiped etc Keep in mind that a clean bar is a bug free barand who wants bugs

4 Everyone who comes in is either a member or guest and should be treated as such While one may develop better relationships with some ALL should be treated with respect and prompt service

5 Tips are not required they are a benefit that most members give However if a member does not tip that is not license to refuse or decrease service

11

6 It is the bartenders responsibility to determine if the member has had enough and cut them off if this is the case The bartender has the right and frankly the responsibility to cut off anyone who seems drunk Remember no matter how much they have had to drink the bartender is the ONLY sober one in the bar

BARTENDER REQUIREMENTS

PURPOSE To keep the lounge operating smoothly and ensure uniformity of operation

All bartenders will be expected to report to work on time Early is- ON TIME On Time is LATE and Late is UNACCEPTABLE The bar opens at 4pm M-F 11 am on Sat and 1 pm on Sunday showing up 5 minutes 10 minutes even 2 minutes late prevents the bar from opening on time This is an inconvenience to our members and can be avoided if one arrives at least 15 minutes before opening (and clock-in) If the employee is going to be late a phone call will be made to the manager as soon as possible to allow arrangement for a substitute

All bartenders are expected to be dressed in proper attire No torn or tattered clothing is to be worn Cut-offs are not permitted Bartenders are expected to wear non-suggestive clothing For more specific details see Employee Dress Code section of this manual

Persons to be served are members in good standing or their guest(s) If the bartender is not sure if membership is current check the membership card of the member

All bartenders are expected to card anyone who is not known to be 21 years of age or older Should the guest or member be unwilling or unable to show proper identification she will not be served and will be asked to leave the lodge

Bartenders will prepare the requested beverage for the member or guest and be paid immediately unless a tab is being kept All sales will be rung on the register All tabs will be closed out and paid for when the member and guest(s) leave or when the lounge closes whichever occurs first unless approved by the Club Manager Only members can have a tab

All bartenders will prepare mixers (ie sour mix) and fruit garnishes for drinks as needed Old or spoiled fruit will be discarded

All bartenders are to make sure all members and guests are to be served without a long wait Conversations or visiting with friends should not cause the bartender to be distracted from other patrons

Members and guests are not permitted behind the bar If a member or guest needs to use the phone show them to the phone in the lobby or the second phone in the lounge on the tall bar table in the rear OPENING BARTENDER DUTIES

1 Turn on lights and unlock back door 2 Fill the ice bin with ice 3 Open liquor room and remove drawer Keep in mind you are responsible for this money you may want to

count it to make sure it is correct 4 Set up the well and call brands if not already in place 5 Stock all beer coolers 6 Fill three-part sink - first sink gets one packet of soap second sink gets 2 sanitizer tablets and the third

sink gets plain water all in rather hot water On longer shifts it is the bartenders responsibility to make sure water is at least warm If it gets cold the sink must be redone to ensure proper sanitation of glasses

7 Place clean ashtrays on bar and tables 8 Cut fruit and prepare mixes if needed 9 Stock napkins small and large straws toothpicks margarita salt and other bar items 10 Make sure all tables in lounge are clean

During Shift Duties

1 If members ask for snacks sell it to them However the snacks belong in the back room NOT on the back of the beer taps Putting them there is unattractive sloppy and lazy bartending

2 Make sure that all tabs are filled out properly with DATE NAME OF MEMBER and BARTENDERS INITIALS Write a description of beverage and price keep a tally of drinks ordered REMEMBER Happy Hour is only from 4 to 7pm M-F and all day Sat and Sun so make a slash to indicate price change All of this information makes it easier for another bartender to ring up a held tab clear up problems with a member and provide consistency for all staff to follow

3 If you have time to lean you have time to clean Ask oneself if the pourers have been soaked recently if the wells racks and bottles have been wiped etc Keep in mind that a clean bar is a bug free barand who wants bugs

4 Everyone who comes in is either a member or guest and should be treated as such While one may develop better relationships with some ALL should be treated with respect and prompt service

5 Tips are not required they are a benefit that most members give However if a member does not tip that is not license to refuse or decrease service

11

6 It is the bartenders responsibility to determine if the member has had enough and cut them off if this is the case The bartender has the right and frankly the responsibility to cut off anyone who seems drunk Remember no matter how much they have had to drink the bartender is the ONLY sober one in the bar

CLOSE OF SHIFT DUTIES

1 Wash ALL dishes beer grates and ashtrays and snack bowls 2 Last call is given 15 minutes before closing Once last call is given everyone has the chance to get one

more drink 3 If possible it is fine to stock beer during the shift but there are times when this is not feasible So the

beer must be stocked and rotated after last call Fill front cooler with beer from the back and fill the back cooler with beer from the beer room New beer goes under older beer

4 After all glassware is washed the bar mat and the beer grates can be washed in the three-part sink 5 Wipe out and clean beer well 6 Pour a splash of bleach in each beer drain and follow that with very hot water Wipe all stainless steel

surfaces on all coolers to remove crumbs and spills 7 Wipe the countertop of the bar and adjust seating around the bar so that it is neat and orderly 8 Wipe all tables inside and on the patio clean ashtrays 9 Stock beverage napkins straws juices and can sodas 10 Drain the three-part sink one sink at a time 11 Put beer grates back on beer cooler standing up to dry 12 Place bar mat back in proper place and put away fruit 13 Due to the lack of locks on the liquor racks and wells all bottles must be put in liquor room 14 Make sure all glassware is put away then ring out the mat and lay it over sink to dry 15 Run credit card report count drawer and lock in liquor room Lock the back door and the beer room 16 Turn off all the lights fans and TVs 17 Check all doors to be sure they are securely locked 18 As one walks down the hall to clock out turn out the lights in the poolroom and its bathroom the mens

Bartending is a great job When the bar is clean stocked and organized everyone benefits When the bar is dirty empty and disheveled everyone suffers Keep this in mind when tending bar It is the responsibility of the bartender to maintain a good working environment for all staff and a fun atmosphere for all members This is not a list of what could be done this is a list of what should be done

BARTENDER REQUIREMENTS

PURPOSE To keep the lounge operating smoothly and ensure uniformity of operation

All bartenders will be expected to report to work on time Early is- ON TIME On Time is LATE and Late is UNACCEPTABLE The bar opens at 4pm M-F 11 am on Sat and 1 pm on Sunday showing up 5 minutes 10 minutes even 2 minutes late prevents the bar from opening on time This is an inconvenience to our members and can be avoided if one arrives at least 15 minutes before opening (and clock-in) If the employee is going to be late a phone call will be made to the manager as soon as possible to allow arrangement for a substitute

All bartenders are expected to be dressed in proper attire No torn or tattered clothing is to be worn Cut-offs are not permitted Bartenders are expected to wear non-suggestive clothing For more specific details see Employee Dress Code section of this manual

Persons to be served are members in good standing or their guest(s) If the bartender is not sure if membership is current check the membership card of the member

All bartenders are expected to card anyone who is not known to be 21 years of age or older Should the guest or member be unwilling or unable to show proper identification she will not be served and will be asked to leave the lodge

Bartenders will prepare the requested beverage for the member or guest and be paid immediately unless a tab is being kept All sales will be rung on the register All tabs will be closed out and paid for when the member and guest(s) leave or when the lounge closes whichever occurs first unless approved by the Club Manager Only members can have a tab

All bartenders will prepare mixers (ie sour mix) and fruit garnishes for drinks as needed Old or spoiled fruit will be discarded

All bartenders are to make sure all members and guests are to be served without a long wait Conversations or visiting with friends should not cause the bartender to be distracted from other patrons

Members and guests are not permitted behind the bar If a member or guest needs to use the phone show them to the phone in the lobby or the second phone in the lounge on the tall bar table in the rear OPENING BARTENDER DUTIES

1 Turn on lights and unlock back door 2 Fill the ice bin with ice 3 Open liquor room and remove drawer Keep in mind you are responsible for this money you may want to

count it to make sure it is correct 4 Set up the well and call brands if not already in place 5 Stock all beer coolers 6 Fill three-part sink - first sink gets one packet of soap second sink gets 2 sanitizer tablets and the third

sink gets plain water all in rather hot water On longer shifts it is the bartenders responsibility to make sure water is at least warm If it gets cold the sink must be redone to ensure proper sanitation of glasses

7 Place clean ashtrays on bar and tables 8 Cut fruit and prepare mixes if needed 9 Stock napkins small and large straws toothpicks margarita salt and other bar items 10 Make sure all tables in lounge are clean

During Shift Duties

1 If members ask for snacks sell it to them However the snacks belong in the back room NOT on the back of the beer taps Putting them there is unattractive sloppy and lazy bartending

2 Make sure that all tabs are filled out properly with DATE NAME OF MEMBER and BARTENDERS INITIALS Write a description of beverage and price keep a tally of drinks ordered REMEMBER Happy Hour is only from 4 to 7pm M-F and all day Sat and Sun so make a slash to indicate price change All of this information makes it easier for another bartender to ring up a held tab clear up problems with a member and provide consistency for all staff to follow

3 If you have time to lean you have time to clean Ask oneself if the pourers have been soaked recently if the wells racks and bottles have been wiped etc Keep in mind that a clean bar is a bug free barand who wants bugs

4 Everyone who comes in is either a member or guest and should be treated as such While one may develop better relationships with some ALL should be treated with respect and prompt service

5 Tips are not required they are a benefit that most members give However if a member does not tip that is not license to refuse or decrease service

11

6 It is the bartenders responsibility to determine if the member has had enough and cut them off if this is the case The bartender has the right and frankly the responsibility to cut off anyone who seems drunk Remember no matter how much they have had to drink the bartender is the ONLY sober one in the bar

CLOSE OF SHIFT DUTIES

1 Wash ALL dishes beer grates and ashtrays and snack bowls 2 Last call is given 15 minutes before closing Once last call is given everyone has the chance to get one

BARTENDER REQUIREMENTS

PURPOSE To keep the lounge operating smoothly and ensure uniformity of operation

All bartenders will be expected to report to work on time Early is- ON TIME On Time is LATE and Late is UNACCEPTABLE The bar opens at 4pm M-F 11 am on Sat and 1 pm on Sunday showing up 5 minutes 10 minutes even 2 minutes late prevents the bar from opening on time This is an inconvenience to our members and can be avoided if one arrives at least 15 minutes before opening (and clock-in) If the employee is going to be late a phone call will be made to the manager as soon as possible to allow arrangement for a substitute

All bartenders are expected to be dressed in proper attire No torn or tattered clothing is to be worn Cut-offs are not permitted Bartenders are expected to wear non-suggestive clothing For more specific details see Employee Dress Code section of this manual

Persons to be served are members in good standing or their guest(s) If the bartender is not sure if membership is current check the membership card of the member

All bartenders are expected to card anyone who is not known to be 21 years of age or older Should the guest or member be unwilling or unable to show proper identification she will not be served and will be asked to leave the lodge

Bartenders will prepare the requested beverage for the member or guest and be paid immediately unless a tab is being kept All sales will be rung on the register All tabs will be closed out and paid for when the member and guest(s) leave or when the lounge closes whichever occurs first unless approved by the Club Manager Only members can have a tab

All bartenders will prepare mixers (ie sour mix) and fruit garnishes for drinks as needed Old or spoiled fruit will be discarded

All bartenders are to make sure all members and guests are to be served without a long wait Conversations or visiting with friends should not cause the bartender to be distracted from other patrons

Members and guests are not permitted behind the bar If a member or guest needs to use the phone show them to the phone in the lobby or the second phone in the lounge on the tall bar table in the rear OPENING BARTENDER DUTIES

1 Turn on lights and unlock back door 2 Fill the ice bin with ice 3 Open liquor room and remove drawer Keep in mind you are responsible for this money you may want to

count it to make sure it is correct 4 Set up the well and call brands if not already in place 5 Stock all beer coolers 6 Fill three-part sink - first sink gets one packet of soap second sink gets 2 sanitizer tablets and the third

sink gets plain water all in rather hot water On longer shifts it is the bartenders responsibility to make sure water is at least warm If it gets cold the sink must be redone to ensure proper sanitation of glasses

7 Place clean ashtrays on bar and tables 8 Cut fruit and prepare mixes if needed 9 Stock napkins small and large straws toothpicks margarita salt and other bar items 10 Make sure all tables in lounge are clean

During Shift Duties

1 If members ask for snacks sell it to them However the snacks belong in the back room NOT on the back of the beer taps Putting them there is unattractive sloppy and lazy bartending

2 Make sure that all tabs are filled out properly with DATE NAME OF MEMBER and BARTENDERS INITIALS Write a description of beverage and price keep a tally of drinks ordered REMEMBER Happy Hour is only from 4 to 7pm M-F and all day Sat and Sun so make a slash to indicate price change All of this information makes it easier for another bartender to ring up a held tab clear up problems with a member and provide consistency for all staff to follow

3 If you have time to lean you have time to clean Ask oneself if the pourers have been soaked recently if the wells racks and bottles have been wiped etc Keep in mind that a clean bar is a bug free barand who wants bugs

4 Everyone who comes in is either a member or guest and should be treated as such While one may develop better relationships with some ALL should be treated with respect and prompt service

5 Tips are not required they are a benefit that most members give However if a member does not tip that is not license to refuse or decrease service

11

6 It is the bartenders responsibility to determine if the member has had enough and cut them off if this is the case The bartender has the right and frankly the responsibility to cut off anyone who seems drunk Remember no matter how much they have had to drink the bartender is the ONLY sober one in the bar

CLOSE OF SHIFT DUTIES

1 Wash ALL dishes beer grates and ashtrays and snack bowls 2 Last call is given 15 minutes before closing Once last call is given everyone has the chance to get one

more drink 3 If possible it is fine to stock beer during the shift but there are times when this is not feasible So the

BARTENDER REQUIREMENTS

PURPOSE To keep the lounge operating smoothly and ensure uniformity of operation

All bartenders will be expected to report to work on time Early is- ON TIME On Time is LATE and Late is UNACCEPTABLE The bar opens at 4pm M-F 11 am on Sat and 1 pm on Sunday showing up 5 minutes 10 minutes even 2 minutes late prevents the bar from opening on time This is an inconvenience to our members and can be avoided if one arrives at least 15 minutes before opening (and clock-in) If the employee is going to be late a phone call will be made to the manager as soon as possible to allow arrangement for a substitute

All bartenders are expected to be dressed in proper attire No torn or tattered clothing is to be worn Cut-offs are not permitted Bartenders are expected to wear non-suggestive clothing For more specific details see Employee Dress Code section of this manual

Persons to be served are members in good standing or their guest(s) If the bartender is not sure if membership is current check the membership card of the member

All bartenders are expected to card anyone who is not known to be 21 years of age or older Should the guest or member be unwilling or unable to show proper identification she will not be served and will be asked to leave the lodge

Bartenders will prepare the requested beverage for the member or guest and be paid immediately unless a tab is being kept All sales will be rung on the register All tabs will be closed out and paid for when the member and guest(s) leave or when the lounge closes whichever occurs first unless approved by the Club Manager Only members can have a tab

All bartenders will prepare mixers (ie sour mix) and fruit garnishes for drinks as needed Old or spoiled fruit will be discarded

All bartenders are to make sure all members and guests are to be served without a long wait Conversations or visiting with friends should not cause the bartender to be distracted from other patrons

Members and guests are not permitted behind the bar If a member or guest needs to use the phone show them to the phone in the lobby or the second phone in the lounge on the tall bar table in the rear OPENING BARTENDER DUTIES

1 Turn on lights and unlock back door 2 Fill the ice bin with ice 3 Open liquor room and remove drawer Keep in mind you are responsible for this money you may want to

count it to make sure it is correct 4 Set up the well and call brands if not already in place 5 Stock all beer coolers 6 Fill three-part sink - first sink gets one packet of soap second sink gets 2 sanitizer tablets and the third

sink gets plain water all in rather hot water On longer shifts it is the bartenders responsibility to make sure water is at least warm If it gets cold the sink must be redone to ensure proper sanitation of glasses

7 Place clean ashtrays on bar and tables 8 Cut fruit and prepare mixes if needed 9 Stock napkins small and large straws toothpicks margarita salt and other bar items 10 Make sure all tables in lounge are clean

During Shift Duties

1 If members ask for snacks sell it to them However the snacks belong in the back room NOT on the back of the beer taps Putting them there is unattractive sloppy and lazy bartending

2 Make sure that all tabs are filled out properly with DATE NAME OF MEMBER and BARTENDERS INITIALS Write a description of beverage and price keep a tally of drinks ordered REMEMBER Happy Hour is only from 4 to 7pm M-F and all day Sat and Sun so make a slash to indicate price change All of this information makes it easier for another bartender to ring up a held tab clear up problems with a member and provide consistency for all staff to follow

3 If you have time to lean you have time to clean Ask oneself if the pourers have been soaked recently if the wells racks and bottles have been wiped etc Keep in mind that a clean bar is a bug free barand who wants bugs

4 Everyone who comes in is either a member or guest and should be treated as such While one may develop better relationships with some ALL should be treated with respect and prompt service

5 Tips are not required they are a benefit that most members give However if a member does not tip that is not license to refuse or decrease service

11

6 It is the bartenders responsibility to determine if the member has had enough and cut them off if this is the case The bartender has the right and frankly the responsibility to cut off anyone who seems drunk Remember no matter how much they have had to drink the bartender is the ONLY sober one in the bar

CLOSE OF SHIFT DUTIES

1 Wash ALL dishes beer grates and ashtrays and snack bowls 2 Last call is given 15 minutes before closing Once last call is given everyone has the chance to get one

BARTENDER REQUIREMENTS

PURPOSE To keep the lounge operating smoothly and ensure uniformity of operation

All bartenders will be expected to report to work on time Early is- ON TIME On Time is LATE and Late is UNACCEPTABLE The bar opens at 4pm M-F 11 am on Sat and 1 pm on Sunday showing up 5 minutes 10 minutes even 2 minutes late prevents the bar from opening on time This is an inconvenience to our members and can be avoided if one arrives at least 15 minutes before opening (and clock-in) If the employee is going to be late a phone call will be made to the manager as soon as possible to allow arrangement for a substitute

All bartenders are expected to be dressed in proper attire No torn or tattered clothing is to be worn Cut-offs are not permitted Bartenders are expected to wear non-suggestive clothing For more specific details see Employee Dress Code section of this manual

Persons to be served are members in good standing or their guest(s) If the bartender is not sure if membership is current check the membership card of the member

All bartenders are expected to card anyone who is not known to be 21 years of age or older Should the guest or member be unwilling or unable to show proper identification she will not be served and will be asked to leave the lodge

Bartenders will prepare the requested beverage for the member or guest and be paid immediately unless a tab is being kept All sales will be rung on the register All tabs will be closed out and paid for when the member and guest(s) leave or when the lounge closes whichever occurs first unless approved by the Club Manager Only members can have a tab

All bartenders will prepare mixers (ie sour mix) and fruit garnishes for drinks as needed Old or spoiled fruit will be discarded

All bartenders are to make sure all members and guests are to be served without a long wait Conversations or visiting with friends should not cause the bartender to be distracted from other patrons

Members and guests are not permitted behind the bar If a member or guest needs to use the phone show them to the phone in the lobby or the second phone in the lounge on the tall bar table in the rear OPENING BARTENDER DUTIES

1 Turn on lights and unlock back door 2 Fill the ice bin with ice 3 Open liquor room and remove drawer Keep in mind you are responsible for this money you may want to

count it to make sure it is correct 4 Set up the well and call brands if not already in place 5 Stock all beer coolers 6 Fill three-part sink - first sink gets one packet of soap second sink gets 2 sanitizer tablets and the third

sink gets plain water all in rather hot water On longer shifts it is the bartenders responsibility to make sure water is at least warm If it gets cold the sink must be redone to ensure proper sanitation of glasses

7 Place clean ashtrays on bar and tables 8 Cut fruit and prepare mixes if needed 9 Stock napkins small and large straws toothpicks margarita salt and other bar items 10 Make sure all tables in lounge are clean

During Shift Duties

1 If members ask for snacks sell it to them However the snacks belong in the back room NOT on the back of the beer taps Putting them there is unattractive sloppy and lazy bartending

2 Make sure that all tabs are filled out properly with DATE NAME OF MEMBER and BARTENDERS INITIALS Write a description of beverage and price keep a tally of drinks ordered REMEMBER Happy Hour is only from 4 to 7pm M-F and all day Sat and Sun so make a slash to indicate price change All of this information makes it easier for another bartender to ring up a held tab clear up problems with a member and provide consistency for all staff to follow

3 If you have time to lean you have time to clean Ask oneself if the pourers have been soaked recently if the wells racks and bottles have been wiped etc Keep in mind that a clean bar is a bug free barand who wants bugs

4 Everyone who comes in is either a member or guest and should be treated as such While one may develop better relationships with some ALL should be treated with respect and prompt service

5 Tips are not required they are a benefit that most members give However if a member does not tip that is not license to refuse or decrease service

11

6 It is the bartenders responsibility to determine if the member has had enough and cut them off if this is the case The bartender has the right and frankly the responsibility to cut off anyone who seems drunk Remember no matter how much they have had to drink the bartender is the ONLY sober one in the bar

CLOSE OF SHIFT DUTIES

1 Wash ALL dishes beer grates and ashtrays and snack bowls 2 Last call is given 15 minutes before closing Once last call is given everyone has the chance to get one

more drink 3 If possible it is fine to stock beer during the shift but there are times when this is not feasible So the

beer must be stocked and rotated after last call Fill front cooler with beer from the back and fill the back cooler with beer from the beer room New beer goes under older beer

4 After all glassware is washed the bar mat and the beer grates can be washed in the three-part sink 5 Wipe out and clean beer well 6 Pour a splash of bleach in each beer drain and follow that with very hot water Wipe all stainless steel

surfaces on all coolers to remove crumbs and spills 7 Wipe the countertop of the bar and adjust seating around the bar so that it is neat and orderly 8 Wipe all tables inside and on the patio clean ashtrays 9 Stock beverage napkins straws juices and can sodas 10 Drain the three-part sink one sink at a time 11 Put beer grates back on beer cooler standing up to dry 12 Place bar mat back in proper place and put away fruit 13 Due to the lack of locks on the liquor racks and wells all bottles must be put in liquor room 14 Make sure all glassware is put away then ring out the mat and lay it over sink to dry 15 Run credit card report count drawer and lock in liquor room Lock the back door and the beer room 16 Turn off all the lights fans and TVs 17 Check all doors to be sure they are securely locked 18 As one walks down the hall to clock out turn out the lights in the poolroom and its bathroom the mens

Bartending is a great job When the bar is clean stocked and organized everyone benefits When the bar is dirty empty and disheveled everyone suffers Keep this in mind when tending bar It is the responsibility of the bartender to maintain a good working environment for all staff and a fun atmosphere for all members This is not a list of what could be done this is a list of what should be done
