Daily bar management

1. Manage the bar

　　 First of all, you must have rich knowledge of wine. Every new employee comes in, you are responsible for training them, and you must tell them the reason for everything you ask them to do. For example, replenishing the refrigerator is a simple matter, but you have to let them know that when replenishing the refrigerator, you must remember the location of each bottle of beer, the place of origin of this bottle of beer, in English. In this way, you can quickly know where the customer orders wine, and the same applies to foreign wines. The inventory of alcohol is also very important. Inventory is helpful to find out if someone flies the order, or secretly take the alcohol out or drink it by yourself at work, etc. One of the ways to effectively control costs.

Usually the shift is between the morning shift and the evening shift. The work of the morning shift and the evening shift is different. The morning shift is usually responsible for the replenishment of drinks, the cleaning of the bar, the opening of the bar, the production of ingredients, etc., while the evening shift As long as they are responsible for the production and supply of drinks and filing work, the foreman of the bar should be responsible for checking the replenishment of the drinks in the morning shift when the shift is transferred, and whether the warehouse is not enough for the goods and whether the early shift should promptly ask the warehouse management staff to report whether there are enough gas cylinders. Very small and many things, usually thinking about this and forgetting that, it is recommended to make an EXCEL form, write all the things to be done every day, check the work to be done on the form before the morning shift and tick it , When the shift is transferred, the foreman of the evening shift will check again and tick and sign. The supervisor is responsible for random checks. If you find a mess, you can find the person who signed it.

2. Night cheating methods and remedies

2.1 Document vulnerabilities

2.11 There is no record of receipt and use of documents. Once lost or there is no responsibility for the document, it cannot be verified. Establish collection records.

2.12 No one checks the number and quantity of the document. After use, if there is no one to check, there will be lucky employees to use such loopholes to cheat, and because there is no one to check and hide the truth, establish a daily review department to check the documents on a daily basis.

2.13 The single foot of the document is irregular. If the document is not regular, it is easy to be corrupted by people who continue to fill in the variety after use, and because there are too many people to take over and cannot be verified, many people will share the consequences. Fill out the wine list as required.

2.2 Waiter cheating

2.21 To borrow drinks, the waiter borrows drinks from familiar bar staff for sale. Bar counter drinks are not loaned out, and offenders are heavily punished.

2.22 For the remaining drinks, the waiter will privately hide the drinks after the guests have checked out and resell them to the guests for profit. After the guests check out, please check by a person above the supervisor level and return the remaining drinks to the bar.

2.23 The waiter stores the wine, and finds someone to sign the remaining wine and store it at the bar for sale on another day. The bar only stores high-end wines, one saves space, and two, so as not to give the service staff an opportunity to take advantage, the supervisor asks the guests to sign and send it to the bar for storage.

2.24 Waiters bring alcohol and cigarettes into the venue privately, and then sell them for profit. Before the employees enter the site, the security and supervisor-level personnel shall conduct inspection and supervision, including the brought-in cigarettes of the same brand as the company.

2.25 Drive up prices, earn price differences, do not send wine lists to customers, and falsely report prices. A wine list or card must be placed at each table, and guests must also leave a wine license after they come.

2.3 Disadvantages of cooperation between waiters and bar counters.

2.31 Using the method of returning the drinks, the bar will use the remaining drinks of the guests to make a second sale with the waiter, and establish a return registration book, and the hall supervisor and the bar supervisor will sign and confirm it together.

2.32 When using expired wine, the bar staff will take out the dated wine and sell it to the waiter. One stores high-end liquors, and the second bar supervisor regularly checks the stored liquors for registration and reporting.

2.33 Borrow the waiter's drinks, and deliberately carry out the policy of "I sell your drinks and you sell" to make profits. The bar manager will conduct a daily inventory of the drinks after the market closes. If it is found to be lacking, it will be supplemented on the day of the company's sales price.

2.34 Blending drinks, blending the remaining open bottles of drinks returned and selling them to the waiter next time, the bar supervisor and the hall supervisor jointly supervising the waiter cannot return the open bottle of alcohol to the bar, and the bar supervisor finds that the winning drink is immediately credited to the account when the market is closed. .

2.35 Items that can be used multiple times or have no account, such as flowers, ice cubes, etc., are directly produced without receipts. The bar supervisor and the hall supervisor often maintain communication and supervision.

2.4 The cooperation of cashiers and waiters.

2.41 Refund of drinks, after the customer pays the bill, if the remaining drinks are not returned to the bar in time, the cashier and the bar will return the drinks to obtain profit. The cashier immediately seals the bill after the customer pays the bill. If it needs to be changed, it must be signed by the supervisor. Subjectively, it must first agree with the hall supervisor and bar supervisor.

2.42 Void the bills, void the bills after the checkout, and use the remaining drinks or other drinks to replace them and return them to the bar to share the profits.

Bar supervisors and hall supervisors supervise and inspect in time.

Because every day when guests drink alcohol, a small amount of alcohol will be stained or overturned on its smooth surface to form a little blocky stain, which will harden after a night. When cleaning, first wipe with a wet towel, and then spray the cleaning agent on the surface to wipe until the stains are completely gone. After cleaning, spray wax polish on the surface of the bar counter to protect the smooth surface. The workbench is made of stainless steel, and the surface can be directly scrubbed with detergent or soap powder. After cleaning, it can be dried with a dry towel.

B Clean the refrigerator. In the refrigerator, oily dust masses are often formed at the bottom due to the stacking of canned beverages and food. The mesh compartment will also be drip-shaped and stained due to the overturning of juice and food. The refrigerator must be cleaned thoroughly once about 3 days. From the bottom, the wall to the mesh compartment. First wipe off the stain with a damp cloth and detergent, and then wipe it off with clean water.

C The floor is clean. The floor inside the bar counter is mostly paved with marble or ceramic tiles. Mop the floor several times a day.

D The surface of wine bottles and canned beverages is clean.

Due to the high sugar content in the wine, the residual liquor will harden at the mouth of the bottle. Granular; bottled or canned soda beer beverages are dusty due to long-distance transportation and storage. The surface of bottled wine and canned beverages should be wiped clean daily with a wet towel to meet food hygiene standards.
