A lot of small interviews, because it was a new store. Then they called and said I got the position. They asked to explain the basic drinks most bartenders should know and the order you would make the drinks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What order would you make these drinks (Beer, Shot, mixed drink)
Very simple, straight forward, would recommend it highly! The managers there are picky but they only want what's best for everybody. This is very very very true at least from what I've experienced.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dave & Buster's (Concord, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
The interview process was easy I asked were they hiring, they gave me a time to come in for an interview before I applied online but was told to apply online in the meantime. I applied online, then I called to let them know I applied. I was interviewed by the bar manager and manager. persons. They will train you to make their specialty drinks. Training is paid for hourly pay and you will not get tips until you reach your fifth day of training which is the end of your training. Pay was really good tip wise. I made a lot of types because I provided great customer service and you do have to share tips with other bartenders and the bar-back.
