Friday Night Bartending | 600$+ in Tips! (My Biggest Night Ever!) 

Austin was probably over there crying too realizing after he sobered up he added another 0 on that 50$ tip 😜

Only $1000 tip on an $8000 bill, that's terrible, as that's only what 12%. If a server is giving excellent service, especially to a group of VIPs, they should have paid that server 20% which is $1600. I worked at a high end restaurant in the Napa Valley in California. We added an automatic 18% gratuity to parties of 5 or more, but 9/10 times they would leave additional money for the tip. Maybe Canada does things different but here in the US, I would be LIVID if I only got $1k on $8k tab

@@asmrp2p903 there’s better things to be LIVID about lol

@@asmrp2p903 you'd seriously be livid with a grand wtf? in uk you get 10% max which gets split between ALL the staff. tbf tho, we actually get paid enough to live so...

@@asmrp2p903 dude literally is getting a $1000 tip by just doing his fucking job and is still complaining lol

For whoever doesn’t work in this industry, server has to tip out kitchen, food runner, host, etc. usually it’s around 6%-8% of the entire bill which mean $500 out of $1000 didn’t go to the server’s pocket in this case. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a huge amount money but server is not just working for him/herself.

No doubt!

Thanks man! Love what I do

You don’t want to be a bartender, I am, it’s pure torture

@@harrybarry621what job isn’t?

It works perfect!

Really?! If you live in California, Vegas or Nyc you'd get that plus tips.

@@beprettylife There really isn't a "tipping culture" over here in the UK though, same as fast food deliver services (uber eats etc), nobody really tips those guys either

@@Randymash It just seems the salary is low for no tip, I would think the wage would be 15-20.

@@beprettylife Not sure about wage in most places but cost of living isn't astronomical is a lot of places in the UK so the wage works out decently. Other than the likes of London and places like that obviously you definitely need a higher wage there

Very true!!!

I think it was simple syrup and lemon juice in the fever tree

Love back from Canada 🇨🇦 😀

Hey bud! It’s a go pro..you can buy a cheat strap for it!

It depends how you learn and the type of person you are. I learned my way up through Barbacking which is basically working under a bartender and you get to see, familiarize and understand not only how to make cocktails/Liqours but the problem solving ability as a bartender. It took me less than 6 months to be fully confident running the bar by myself but still made many mistakes which I learned from. I did try learning the recipes by myself prior to landing a job behind the bar but your self confidence has impact on how you'll work as bartender with no experience. There is no specific time for the latter in my opinion :)

That’s the seaside rendezvous 1.5 Malfey gin .75 oz Plum wine .75 oz Yuzu .25 oz campari 3 oz prosecco

Go pro 9 with a chest strap

Years back you'd claim say a $5 tip via the credit card transaction that you just closed out for a single customer. You'd do that however many times per shift and take the total of those tips out of the cash register. That claimed tip number is tracked easily. The restaurant would ask you to claim your cash tips also. If you made $100 in cash you'd undercut it and say you only made $75 or whatever you wanted to say to save a bit on the tax ahah.

I do believe this process has been adjusted in the last 5 years though.

Yes! It sucks. Debit/credit cards are a bartenders worst nightmare on busy nights. Then depending on the bar. The c.c. tip made. The employer will take out of yrr base pay check. Bartenders absolutely hate creit/debit cards. Cash is king in a bar.

It would help us learn what the drinks a called !

Drinks after he was eating: 5:30 - Vodka soda (soda on the side) 6:45 - Vodka Ginger Beer (ginger beer on side) 7:30 - Either Lemon Drop Martini or a Classic Daiquiri 8:45 - Draft Stout. Possibly Guinness 9:10 - Campari Spritz. Not sure which one though 11:48 - Cosmopolitan 13:14 - Negroni 14:40 - Gin Martini w/ Bombay Sapphire Gin

Yes, Vancouver is the most expensive city to live in North America!

Hello :):) thanks for watching!

Where is that located?? 🌎

Hmmmm the most is close to that 600$ I think it was like 640$! Really great money nights! Check out my Merch store aswell! www.etsy.com/shop/davidblakecocktails/?etsrc=sdt

@@davidblake1 savvy!

Me who is working 9hrs as a bartender with 0 tips a month..Sad

RU-vid user Darrell C is speaking for the people

Doing good! Working with new mic’s!

Thats cool man .. I DM you in IG can you check it when you have a chance plz?

Yup! But the ones I’ve made many many times I don’t taste anymore

Very professional

If you’re doing counts you have to account for air bubbles and inconsistencies in pouring time. Different syrups and citrus and spirits pour differently. Literally everyone has a different mental timer and most people are never going to be able to make 100 drinks the same way if you’re counting in your head especially when you’re having a conversation with someone simultaneously about what they want to order for example. As a server/bartender I prefer to see bartenders use jiggers. You say tacky I say counting looks sloppy and some might say lazy.
