CLOCKING IN & OUT: there will be a sheet on-site. Please let Zach or Tucker know your clock in and clock out times.
FLEXIBILITY: please arrive with enough time to park and to be ready to work in your station at your scheduled start time. We will try to make sure that you are out at your end time, but please make sure to leave some flexibility as there will be shift changes/swap duties and clean up duties at the end of the night.
ALSO, FLEXIBILITY: You'll be assigned a role at each bar (cashier, bartender, wrist band / ID checks) and we try to make sure that everyone is working in the place that best fits your skillset and our needs. Every position is vital to the whole bar team's success. Being willing to work at any position is huge.
DRINK LIMITS: None. Guests can buy as many drinks as they’d like. Do not serve intoxicated guests.
IDs: we are not able to accept a photo of an ID. Patrons must have a physical copy, or a government issued digital ID.
CASH TIPS: cash tips will be split among the number of people working. A team lead, or designated team member, will collect tips at the end of the night, count, and divide out to staff.
CREDIT TIPS: credit card tips will be divided by hours worked and paid via Gusto payroll.
SHIFTY: You are allowed to have a drink from the bar menu per shift. No other staff drinking is allowed while working. Intoxication is prohibited during your shifts.
VENDOR TRADE: Please do not trade products from the bar with other vendors. This is a common request (especially by food vendors). Politely tell them that they are welcome to purchase something but that you aren’t authorized to trade.
WATER: You are allowed to have bottled water. We will have a cooler at each bar. Stay hydrated.
BREAKS: The shift is short so please plan ahead for food and breaks. If you need a break for any reason, please communicate with the team at your bar. Please make sure to drink water throughout your shift.
DRESS CODE: We will have a bar staff shirt for you that we will give you at the training meetings. If you would like to purchase a Single Barrel hat you can purchase it at our cost. We ask that you do not wear any competing bar service merchandise/hats. If you have any merchandise from a brand that’s on the menu, you are welcome to wear it. Comfortable shoes, shorts/pants/jeans. Please prepare for whatever Montana summer weather decides to bring us.
Each of you play an important role in the success of the bar services at the Fair. Our aim is to provide a professional, responsible and fun atmosphere at the bars while we are serving the community and representing Single Barrel Liquor & Bar.
