Bartenders
Bartenders work behind the bar and take food and drink orders from patrons. They also prepare drinks to the patron's specifications. Bartenders need an extensive knowledge of the types of available alcoholic drinks, which they often gain by attending a specialized school. Along with washing plates and drink glasses, they keep the area around the bar neat and clean.
Servers
Servers wait on tables in the bar and take food and drink orders. Once the bartender or kitchen staff fills the orders, the servers deliver the items to the patrons at the tables. Servers transact the sale once the patrons are ready to pay, and may clean the tables once the patrons have left the bar.
Bouncers
Bouncers, sometimes referred to as doormen due to their station at the bar's entrance, check the identification of the patrons to ensure they have reached legal drinking age and are adhering to the bar's dress code if applicable. Bouncers tend to be large in physical stature since they need to intervene in altercations among unruly patrons.
Bar Managers
Bar managers oversee the operations of the bar. They hire and fire staff members and make the schedules for the workers. Bar managers may also order supplies such as alcohol, food and paper goods such as cocktail napkins. In some bars, the bar manager may act as a host or hostess by greeting patrons as they enter the establishment.
Cooks
Bars that serve food need cooks for its preparation. Depending on the establishment and its clientele, the type of food can range from short-order items such as hamburgers and chicken wings to more high-end cuisine such as filet mignon. Cooks often work under pressure when trying to keep pace with a high volume of orders during busier periods.
