Real World Bar Manager Resume Sample

sample bartender resume

Below you’ll find the founder of BarsandBartending.com’s bar manager resume sample. We’ve included an older, written version as well as Reese Richards’ updated 4-page bar manager resume.

Writing a bar manager resume is pretty much the same as writing a bartender resume except that you’ll want to tailor your bar manager resume to areas of marketing and operations; showing your future employer what you can do to bring in more customers.
We’ve also broken down the sections that you’ll need to include when writing your own bar managers resume.

Keep in mind as you read through the resume writing tips below that your bar manager resume is an extension of you and your abilities – take as much pride in writing it as you will in the role for which you are applying.

There are certain things to keep in mind when writing each section of your bar manager resume:

Objective – For a bartenders resume, an objective can be included or not – depending on your particular situation and the position you’re applying for. But when writing your bar manager resume, it’s wise to include an objective.
Education – if you feel your education is one of your strong suits, then you can put it before Work Experience. Let’s say that you have a bunch of certificates from bartending courses, mixology courses, customer service courses etc, add these to your education and list it before your work experience.
Accomplishments & Special Interests – this area is for the hiring manager to get to know you a little better. You can list things here like clubs you belong to, awards you received in and out of school, volunteer work that you do etc. Anything that paints a good picture – you want your bar manager resume to be a complete picture of yourself.
Languages – you may want to consider adding a section titled “Languages” if you speak more than one.
Computer Skills – You can add this section to highlight your experience with P.O.S systems and other computer skills you may have including any accounting software or experience with Microsoft suite or Adobe products.
References – if you come from out of town, you may want to include them on your resume. Otherwise, simply putting “available upon request” is fine – but bring your references with you to the bar interview.
