Questions about hiring bartenders
Can I tell if someone can handle volume?
+
Yes. Bartenders show how they work through multiple drinks and reset their well, which separates high-volume experience from slower craft work.
Can I hire barbacks through the same post?
+
Yes. Post the barback role separately so applicants see the right expectations, then review both sets of candidates in the app.
Do you verify alcohol service certifications?
+
No. Vetano verifies identity with a government ID and shows demonstrated skill on video. Alcohol service cards are yours to confirm before a shift.
