What they are checking: Whether they will refuse service politely and protect the guest and the venue, even when it feels awkward.

How do you check ID at a private event where most guests assume nobody will card them?

These events are mostly nights and weekends. How does that fit your schedule?

What do you do to set up a bar before an event at a venue like Round Lake Farms or Stone Prairie?

What they are checking: Whether they plan stock, ice, glassware and garnish ahead so service runs smoothly away from a regular bar setup.

Walk me through a few classic cocktails you could make without a recipe card.

What they are checking: Whether they have a working base of drink knowledge so they don't slow down service looking things up.
