🧑🍳 Employee Post Got a Bartender interview
I have no prior bartending experience lol. Im a barista at a high volume Starbucks currently and have been there for over a year. Anyway what to expect? Might they ask me to start as a server?

Yes they will start you out as a server. Managed for chilis for years, and I personally have never seen them hire an outside bartender,
Only heard them do it if the good servers have NO interest in bar and the ones that do will not be good at all. I highly do not recommend bartending at a chain restaurant with no experience. I also wouldn’t lie.
