Aside from food and wine knowledge I had to also open and close the FOH and patio each shift and make preparations for any large parties/reservations. As a bartender wine knowledge increased as did classic cocktail comprehension. My boss put more emphasis on making the guests feel at home and comfortable so my customer service skills improved as well. Had to stock the bar and take invoice orders for liquor and beer. Occasionally would sit in on wine rep meetings with my boss to discuss possible purchases.
