Q.4. Explain different types of bar in detail. (10)
1. Pubs
It is a word derived from a public house that is licensed to sell alcoholic beverages. Pubs mainly serve all kinds of beers along with other alcoholic drinks. Most pubs were once owned by the breweries to market their products, but today they are operated by other business promoters.
2. Lounge Bar
Lounge it an area meant for relaxing which is normally located near the reception area. Some establishments have a lounge bar that serves all kinds of alcoholic beverages to the guests at the lounge. The drinks may be collected from the main bar and carried on a tray to the lounge and served. If the volume of business is more and there is an adequate area in the lounge, a separate bar may be set up to address the needs of the guests, the Lounge bar is often seen in airports, clubs, casinos, luxury hotels, ships, etc.
3. Wine bar
This bar sells only wines of all kinds, mainly the most expensive wines. It has a good collection of a wide range of wines. The guests are given free samples of wine for tasting before making purchase decisions. The guest may buy bottles of wine for consuming later or drink in the wine bar itself. This kind of bar is a comparatively new concept and becoming very popular amongst wine connoisseurs and affluent people.
4. Cocktail Bar
Cocktail bars are full-service bars serving an entire range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages but specializing in a wide range of cocktails and mixed drinks – both classical and innovative. Here, the focus is on the cocktail range featured on the menu and the skills & proficiency of the bartender. Cocktail bars are upmarket beverage outlets, commonly found in luxury hotels and are luxuriously furnished and lavishly equipped.
5. Banquet Bar
This is a temporary bar set-up in the banquet suites to serve alcoholic drinks during a specific function. The type and quantity of drinks to be served are generally predetermined at the time booking the function. The drinks may be either bought by those who wish to drink or paid by host for all the drinks consumed by his/her guests during the function. The banquet bar collects the required stock either from the main bar or from the cellar. Sometimes, the guests would bring their own bottles of liquor in which case corkage charges will be levied.
6. Dispense Bar
Here, bartenders do not serve the public directly but pour drinks that are picked up by servers and delivered to customers at different locations like the guestroom, a table in the restaurant or a poolside deck chair. In short, it fills drink orders brought by waiters and waitresses only. Generally, in such bars, a single pouring station is enough to handle the volume. Also, guests have no access to service bars and hence are characterized by the absence of barman-guest interaction.
It is of two basic types:
6 a) Back-of-the-house service/dispense bars:
As the name suggests these are located behind the scenes and hence hidden from the guest view. They are smaller and simpler in design. Backbar of such bars has a room for bulk supplies of beer, mixes, liquor stock, etc and has no display. These bars do not require hiding of ugly equipment and mechanical dispensing systems are often used to increase speed and reduce liquor loss.
6 b) Front-of-the-house service/dispense bars: As the name suggests these bars are in full view of the guests but used only for dispensing beverages to the servers against guest’s orders. These bars are less usual, are generally found in conjunction with food service and are a part of the dining room. These bars must harmonize well with the overall ambiance and due thought should be given to its layout, design, and decor for efficiency and economy of service. The emphasis is more on functional ambiance and is not lavishly equipped as a full-scale public or cocktail bar.

Explain different records maintained in a bar. (10)
Some common records maintained in bar
1.Daily consumption record
2. Requisitions
3. Inter bar Transfer
4. Ullages and breakages
5. Empties Return Book
6. Cellar control book
Daily consumption record
This record shows the daily consumption of liquors offered in the bar.
The first column carries the names of all the liquors. If the establishment procures bottles of different sizes, then the size must be mentioned against it.
The second column shows the par stock level for each drink which is predetermined.
The third column reveals the consumption of drinks in the preparation of straight drinks.
The fourth column shows the consumption in the cocktail.
The fifth column shows the total consumption of liquors.
The sixth column shows the stock in hand as per the record which is found out by deducting the consumption from the par stock.
In the seventh column, the actual stock is recorded after physically verifying.
Requisitions
Beverages should be collected from the cellar against the authorized requisition during the hours specified which is generally in the morning. The bartender should collect all empty bottles at the end of the day, sort, and keep them ready for returning the next day morning. These empty bottles form the basis for requisitioning. For example, if there are 10 empty bottles of VAT 69 and 5 empty bottles of Remy Martin, then the requisition should be made for those empty bottles. All requisitions should be made in triplicate and signed by the head barman or the person in charge of the bar. Empty bottles must be returned to the cellar along with the requisition slip while collecting the full bottles.
Inter bar Transfer
In establishments, where there are more bars operating, sometimes the beverages may be transferred from one bar to another as and when required. Such transfers should be recorded and authorized so that the costs and revenues can be adjusted to arrive at a meaningful result of each bar. The cost of the transfer out must be deducted from the total cost of the bar transferring and added to the cost of the bar receiving the stock
Ullages and breakages
It is necessary for any ullages and breakage to be recorded on a standard form, together with an explanation, and countersigned by a member of the food and beverage management department. The frequency of the recording of any ullages and breakages would determine the necessity for management to take corrective action.
The term ullage is used to cover all substandard beverages such as bottles of weeping wines, bottles of wine with faulty corks, unfit barrels of beer, etc., which whenever possible, would be returned to the supplier for replacement. Breakages of bottled beverages usually occur by mishandling by cellar and bar staff.
Empties Return Book
Many of the containers of beverages such as crates, kegs, beer bottles, soda siphons, etc. are charged for by the supplier against a delivery. It is, therefore, necessary that control is maintained on the recharged items to ensure that they are returned to the supplier and the correct credit obtained. A container record book is required which records all containers received from the various suppliers, containers returned and the balance matching the stocktake of containers.
Cellar control book
This provides a record of all daily deliveries to the cellar and the daily issues of each beverage from the cellar to the various bars and should cross-check with the entries on the bin cards and the perpetual inventory ledger held in the food control or the accounts office.

Nowadays, almost every mixed drink is considered to be a cocktail including long drinks, which originally were high balls on the point of view of the embedding technique.

(c) History of cocktails
Cocktails are mixed drinks that have become popular since the first quarter of the 20th century and all bars offer a list of selected cocktails. However, people have been drinking mixed drinks since the inception; no one could really establish the origin of the term ‘Cocktail’. It is claimed that the first recipe for a cocktail was lemon juice and powdered mixers, appreciated by Emperor Commodus in the second century AD.
One of many popular notions on the birth of the word cocktail is that during the American War of Independence, in 1779, an innkeeper, Betsy Flanagan of Virginia prepared of chicken, she stole from a neighbor who was pro-British. She then served the French soldiers with mixed drinks decorated with the feathers from the birds. Her merry French guests toasted her with the words Vive le cocktail. Since then the word cocktail was used to mean the mixed drinks. This is, of course, one of the stories.
The word cocktail was first described in an American magazine Balance as ‘a mixture of spirits, sugar water, and bitters’ in 1806
The cocktail gained ground and popularity in the USA, especially during the Prohibition period. The production, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages were banned in the USA from 1920 to 1933 due to the pressure from religious and political thinkers.
A cocktail is normally a short drink of 3 ½ -4 fluid ounces-anything larger being called a ‘mixed drink’ or a ‘long drink’.
(d) Bar staffing
The term ‘Staffing’ relates to the recruitment, selection, development, training and compensation of the managerial personnel. Staffing, like all other managerial functions, is the duty that the apex management performs at all times. In a newly created enterprise, the staffing would come as a. third step—next to planning and organizing—but in a going enterprise, the staffing process is continuous.
Bar staff – also referred to as bartenders – are mainly employed to serve drinks at pubs, restaurants, and other establishments that are licensed to sell alcoholic beverages. The main duties of a bar worker are to attend the customer’s needs, by either serving them drinks at the bar or with table service. The bar worker must also keep a clean and comfortable environment at the place of work
Bar staff should be able to interact with people well and be good listeners. They need to be warm, friendly and welcoming. It is important to possess some knowledge of alcoholic drinks. They also need to be a team player and able to work well under pressure.
Q.8. Explain how will you deal with the following situations: (5+5=10)
(a) Guest in hurry
Let your waiters inform the guest about the duration of the service. For instance, say “The burger will take ten minutes to make” or “I will be back with your drink in one minute.” By being very specific, one will quickly calm the guest down and he will be able to enjoy his rushed but yet nice meal.
(b) Guest who has had too many alcoholic drinks
Drunk customers can be intimidating and cross some of your staff’s personal boundaries. But there are three tricks that can help guide him out the door.
First, stop serving him alcohol when it’s getting to that point. Tell him nicely, “Sorry Sir, the bar is closed for tonight.“ Then, you could offer him something else instead of a drink: “What about a nice Ice Tea? Or perhaps a plate of our great snack selection?” Last but not least, you can call him a cab and let him know that a car is waiting for him outside to take him home. In this situation, it will be calming for your employees if you stay close and keep working on the floor. And remember, most of the time, those customers will only stay for a short time and continue somewhere else.
