Real-World Experience:

Too often in this industry, a great bartender is promoted to bar supervisor or manager, with no additional training. They usually lack the full skill set to perform their new job responsibilities at a high level. It is important to know all of the laws and regulations, and it also helps to have some new creative ideas for promotions.
