A CV never shows you how someone works a busy bar.
Bartender applications arrive in floods, ghosting is routine, and the qualities that matter — presence, pace, personality — only show up in person. By the time you have phone-screened a shortlist, the good ones have taken another shift.
- ✓Guest-facing personality
- ✓Real cocktail knowledge
- ✓Composure at peak service
- ✓Responsible service awareness
- ✓Communication & clarity
- ✓Reliability across shifts
- ✓Team attitude in the weeds
- ✓Upselling instinct
Live before your next batch of applicants.

An example AI bartender interview.
Six structured questions — each scored against the competencies that decide whether a shift runs smoothly.
“Tell us about the bars you have worked in and the style of drinks you make best.”
“A guest orders an Old Fashioned. Talk us through how you build it.”
“It is Friday night, six tickets deep and a guest is waving at you. What do you do?”
“How would you handle a guest who has had too much to drink?”
“Describe a shift where the team was short-staffed. What did you do?”
“A guest asks for "just a gin and tonic". How do you make it memorable?”

An explainable bar score — not a black box.
Every applicant gets a structured scorecard across bar craft, guest experience, speed under pressure, responsible service, teamwork and reliability. Each competency expands into a written explanation, so your managers can see exactly why someone ranked where they did — with the recording one click away.
“Candidate described building an Old Fashioned accurately, referenced sugar and bitters ratios, and explained how they would adjust for a guest's preference — strong bar craft with genuine guest focus.”
AI evaluates every competency, while managers make the final call.
