What is meant by a well, a call, and a premium?
This refers to the quality and/or price
level of spirits you offer at your bar. Everything in life has
levels. With automobiles it’s compact, midsize, luxury,
and dream on. Behind the bar the vodka that you keep in your speed
rail is the well vodka. Next, Smirnoff will probably be the call
vodka then Absolut for a premium vodka and Ketel One for ultra
premium vodka. (Just so you know, there wasn’t an Ultra
Premium category until the Chopin and Greygoose type boutique
vodkas hit the market.)
What does the term "neat" mean?
A spirit poured and served at room temperature
straight from the bottle.

A term said in a bar at the end of the night
to let guests know that it’s time to order a last drink
because the bar will be closing.
What is a POS system?
Point Of Sale. The point where the sale
is made. In a bar, the POS Systems are the computers used to make
those transactions. The point of sale for a drug dealer is the

a POS system to do the sale on. Most POS systems are kept on the
back bar so they are out of public reach.

from the well.

about the height of your knees that holds the most commonly used
well liquors in your well. It’s usually connected to the

If a guest orders a Scotch on the rocks with a "water back"
what do they want?
They want a Scotch over ice in one glass
and a glass of water with ice in another glass. It’s usually
set about an inch back from the drink. And just so you know, you
don’t use a big tall water glass, you use around the same
type glass as the drink. For this Scotch on the rocks example,
I’d use a highball or old-fashioned glass.
At the end of a bar shift, what bottles are generally always wiped
clean and why?
Your well bottles because they’ve
been used the most and are usually very sticky.

call out their drinks to a bartender. If they say, I need a coke,

then that’s wrong. They need to group their order and call
out the Piña Colada first because it takes longer than
the others. So the calling order for this order would be, Piña
Colada, Screwdriver, Sam, Bud, coke diet coke. Notice how the
beers and soda are grouped together.
