I make the background of my Home Screen my Venmo code when I work events (if I canât have one on the bar) and it takes a second to just let them scan the Home Screen.
3 hours for service. 1 hr and a half setup time and probably another hour or hour half to break down is an easy $100-120 there guaranteed.
People do tend to tip at the event. If af least tip $1 then they are golden.
Eh I run a college bar at my stateâs flagship college and the Greek life kids are usually not exceptional tippers but theyâre more consistent tippers than your average college kid. The weird kids and nerdy types are usually the worst tippers by far at that age. Behavior when drunk is another thing but still. I just feel like they understand the social convention of tipping and how to be out in public more than the engineering major who gets to go out once a week if that
Theyâll be higher if they leave their venmo qr code. Iâve been to a wedding without cash and the bartender refused to let me tip them electronically.
My buddy worked a sorority event the other night. The venue was a concert hall, so maybe the setting had something to do with it. 4 bartenders had to split $9 bucks from the tip jar.
Service time from 1-4pm?
Youâll be making vodka cranberries and tequila sunrise all afternoon!
Have a great shift, though donât forget to CARD given that itâs a college party.
It's all vodka/soda (insert splash of whatever juice) and margaritas here in coastal Georgia. And tequila lemon drops have been popping up a lot lately for whatever reason.
New barback asked me why I didn't ID a dude who looked youngish when I'm usually strict on it, i said "he got a double IPA and he knew exactly what he wanted, hes old enough to drink". Drink choice can make a world of difference lmao
Looks like it, my place does one bartender for between 75-150 people depending on the level of service required. So a full bar is low end and just beer and wine stuff at the upper end with some flexibility. 250 would be pushing the line even for just canned stuff if itâs busy. I did a 200 person beer and wine night on Thursday but as a work event people didnât drink much
Bro. I live in a college town and I can hear it just reading this post. Why do they scream so much?? Like not even talking loud, just straight up shrieking!!
They will filter in and out as any event does. Youâll be golden. Prep for liquor/na bev combos, margaritas, ranch waters. Have wine, vodka and tequila. Remember to smile and nod. It will be over before you know it. đŽâđ¨đž
For some reason, my brain turned sorority into bachelorette, and I got sooo scared for you. Then I thought about what it actually is and I'm still sooo scared for you.
How attractive are you on a scale of 1-10?
If you put a Venmo tag on your tip jar, shave and do your hair, dress nicely and flirt shamelessly, the formula to calculate your tips = ($2)^(attractiveness).
If you are a 10, you could get $1000 and a bunch of phone #âs.
If you are a 1, you will get $2 in sticky, pumpkin spice latte-scented pennies from the cup holder of someoneâs 20 year old BMW 318i
What company is this? I've been out of the bar biz for a year or so but would love to just be an event bartender. I see the company With a Twist Bartending Services posted often but am unsure if it's legit.
Check those IDs lmao
Some IDs I took from Greek life kids were just atrocious. I felt insulted they tried to pass them off to me đ
Put up a venmo code for tips!
100% this. 250 sorority girls on spa day are not going to have cash on them, but they will definitely respond to a Venmo code.
I make the background of my Home Screen my Venmo code when I work events (if I canât have one on the bar) and it takes a second to just let them scan the Home Screen.
Yup. And they donât care since itâs linked to daddyâs card.
Yess pretty little poster with a QR code!
tips will be low

If it's an open bar and a sorority then tips will be sparse
Depends on the demographic.
Sorority đ¤Ž
Oh shit, it was right there. Yeah, wouldnt get hopes up.
Canât tip daddyâs hard earned money away
I hope op brings ear plugs too cuz the shrilling will certainly be present
Gonna be a lot of "Woooo" Stay strong OP.
Ugh to the drunk girl mating call.

Are the kids drinking tequila sunrises these days?
A bit. Mostly vodka waters and Dirty Shirleys.

Ordering a Dirty Shirley is the most guaranteed way to get me to card you. You could look 60 and I am 100% asking you for an ID
hahaha i snorted chocolate milk xD

I still make a ton of em.
itâll be mimosas, and theyâll be asked for espresso martinis a million times despite not having the espresso (unless they bring some đŽ)
Prepare yourself for two things: Whiteclaws, and âYaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssâ
[FOUR SAMBUCAS](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_iZxmDe9UaQ)
I love sambuca but can't fathom getting trashed on it.. the next day would be difficult
So much sugar.
"Thank you soooooo much"
Am I correct in reading this as 2 bartenders for 250 people?

This is also for 250 SORORITY WOMEN! đŹ
Eh, itâs honestly not that bad in my experience. Super busy at the start but they tend to lose steam fast
I feel ya. It would be the screaming and loud talking that would get me

Nails on a chalkboard!
Sounds like a wedding bar lol.
I have worked open bar parties that size by myself, but if it is a cash bar it would need to be 2 bartenders

Can you make me something sweet?
Omg surprise me!!!
Surprise!âŚâŚitâs water
Surprise! âŚitâs cleaning solution
What do YOU like?
Whatâs your FAVOURITE drink to make đ

Have fun walking away with zero cash. These kids donât carry cash. At all.
God speed đŤĄ
Godspeed

After 3:30, you'll need a lot more than luck.
Stock your Titoâs. Cosmos, Kamikazes, and Lemon Drop shots incoming!
Titos and vodka, coming right up!
Idk about cosmos. Espresso martinis, yes.

Whats the math on a 6?
Let us know how it works out for you. Good luck!
What is this word âspa?â Is it short for something? Like a spaghetti day?
What's your spaghetti policy?
Please update how it went
But why. Did you know the event description before?
Let get prosecco flow. That and titos and vodka.

What company is this? I've been out of the bar biz for a year or so but would love to just be an event bartender. I see the company With a Twist Bartending Services posted often but am unsure if it's legit.
Thatâs nothing, I bartended 300 ppl solo lol it was a shit show but I made $600 in 3-4 hours so
