• Respond professionally to customer questions and feedback, escalating issues to a supervisor or manager where appropriate
• Maintain excellent standards of bar presentation, organisation, cleanliness and product quality
• Follow all hygiene, health and safety, licensing and responsible alcohol service requirements

About you:
