PROPERTY BEVERAGE MANAGER

Create Beverage Program
Beverage Managers develop beverage programs, which include types of drinks to offer, which brands of liquor to use, pricing, and other menu aspects. This includes creating wine lists, beer selections, and cocktail items.

Order Beverages and Maintain Inventory
The Beverage Manager ensures adequate supplies of liquor and non-alcoholic drinks and maintains a sufficient inventory. This duty involves forecasting, inventory, and track of which drinks are most in demand. In addition, beverage managers must ensure a supply of non-drink bar items, such as snacks, napkins, mixers, and drink garnishes.

Manage Staff Training and Schedules
The training and scheduling of bar staff typically falls to a beverage manager. They train bartenders and bar service staff and create schedules for all full- and part-time employees associated with mixing and serving drinks.

Generate and Manage Cost Reports
Beverage Managers are assigned to oversee the cost of inventory and supplies and submit reports monthly. They review cost increases, communicate with vendors to review charges and apply strategies to lower costs when possible.
