The barback is the assistant of the bartender. Many bartenders start with a bar porter job, where they are able to first learn the ropes of the establishment. The bar porter job will have a first-hand look at how a bar is run, and will help better your speed, agility, and professionalism. The ideal candidate should have a great work ethic and helpful attitude.
