Why Experience Isn’t Enough When Hiring Bar Staff
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Experience does not always mean someone is a good hire.
In this episode, I talk about why hiring bar staff based on experience alone can backfire.
A resume may tell you they know the job.
But it will not tell you if they are warm, coachable, curious, resilient, or right for your culture.
And that is the part that keeps guests coming back.
We break down what to screen for in interviews, why technical skills are easier to train than genuine hospitality, and how to stop hiring experience just to fire attitude later.
Your next great team member may not have the longest resume.
They may be the person guests actually want to come back for.
