I would
like to apologize for not being able to update my blog for months since I am
swamped. Philippine Flair Open 2013 will be on in 5 days time and well final
touches are underway.
As a bartender,
one of my past times is really going to different bars to have a drink, order
food, and enjoy the ambiance.
But not only that, I am also particular with the
service the bar staff renders whether am sitting at the bar or at the dining
area. This project is not meant to find faults but to rather make people aware
and understand the importance of service in the business and how it will make
or break one. The service I get in each and every bar is like my personal
mirror.
I would sometimes ask myself, ”Am I doing this as well?” "I don’t think
I will do this” ”I think I can do this too” and so on. If it is worth sharing to
people then I will not hesitate since the establishment or the person deserves
to be commended.
As a
trainer, one of the things I would preach is always to follow the GOLDEN RULE.
It is easier said than done yes but at the same time it also takes commitment
and consistency. We have good days, we have bad days, but in our profession we
don’t have to let our guests know about the later.
This is
just an opinion coming from an ordinary guest that wants to be treated well not
like a king but just enough that he will remember his stay there and will have
the urge to comeback not only because of the drinks, the food the ambiance but
the service.
To
achieve this goal I will go to different bars once a week and try to document
my “bar hop” as religiously and consistently as I can. This in itself is not as
easy as it sounds but I am up for the challenge.
Drink
moderately and don’t drink and drive.
So stay
tuned.
