Refuse and Waste Containers

Every day that you work you will need to deal with the issue of waste.
There are a few simple guidelines to follow in order to keep the working
environment clean tidy at all times:
There are many forms of waste in a bar – beer mats, drink, straws,
crisp packets and so on. You need to be aware of the procedures
used in disposing of each type of waste.
If the waste bins are not emptied on a regular basis they can
become a health hazard.
All the bins need to be cleaned on a regular basis to stop any
infestation.
Each type of waste has a corresponding refuse bin. Ensure you
dispose of the correct waste in the correct bin.
Empty full waste bins immediately.
Food waste needs to be disposed of in a totally separate bin.
All glasses should be disposed of in the recycling bins for glass.
Always line the bins with bin liners, to stop the bins from
becoming dirty and also to make emptying the bins easier.

Cleanliness of Customer Service Areas

Cleanliness and tidiness in the customer service areas is
imperative at all times. A busy establishment is the perfect
environment for the customer, but if it is dirty and untidy, this
creates an unwelcome atmosphere. If the establishment is clean
and tidy, this provides an enjoyable place for the customer to
consume their drink.
Look at the top of the bar and see if there are any torn or ripped
beer mats. Replace these regularly to give a clean, tidy appearance
of the bar.
Remember, you are part of a team, so work as one. Don’t expect
others to do the worst jobs – share out the responsibility. Your
workmates will thank you for it.
Remove all empty glasses on the bar immediately. This should be
an automatic reaction when seeing an empty glass, and don’t forget
to offer another drink, if appropriate.
Remember, make each journey you make through the bar count.
Pick up empty glasses, plates, etc. Keep cleanliness the top of your
list.
If you are moving about amongst the customers, make sure you
acknowledge them and ask how their evening is going.
Regularly wipe down the bar counter and empty drip trays. There
should be nothing sticky on the bar for customers to place their
arms into.
If cleaning equipment are malfunction you can do the cleaning
manually following the enterprise standards
Keep the ice buckets full.
Make sure you have enough sliced lemons, oranges, etc so that
you do not have to make a mess of cutting up fruit throughout
your shift.
If there are nibbles on the bar, ensure that they are kept topped
up.
Hygiene in the Bar
Even if your bar or pub does not serve food, it must meet the legal
requirements for food premises. This is because drinks are regarded as
food. Like food, drinks become unsafe if they are contaminated and
cleaning is done before, during and after operation (all the time/ clean as
you go).
Ways this can happen include:

Glasses are refilled when customers order another drink – bacteria
from customer’s mouth and hands spread on to beer-dispenser
nozzle or spirit measures, and from there to other glasses and
drinks.
Hygiene and Safety
A few guidelines to remember on hygiene and safety in a bar.
Always be clean, tidy and diplomatic.

Position the glasses upside down position after washing
Always rinse/wash bar equipment like cocktail shakers and
strainers after use, even between drinks.
Always wash and dry your hands frequently, especially after
contact with citrus fruit/juices. This helps prevent hand
dermititis.
Look after your hands, especially your fingernails, as these are
always in view. Keep fingernails short, and if using nail polish, use
neutral colours.
Don't smoke or drink while working behind a bar, it is considered
unsanitary and in many countries is also illegal.
Don't allow a champagne corks to 'pop' on removal, this is of bad
taste and dangerous.
Handle a glass soda siphon by the plastic or metal part only. The
heat of your hand may cause the glass to shatter.
Never fill a glass to the rim.
Apply 3 bucket system in washing - wash with proper detergent or
solution, rinse with clean water, and sanitize with warm clean
water.
Hand washing
Most infections are transmitted by hands.

Proper hand washing by staff will greatly reduce the
transmission of infections at least 20 seconds.
