Mobile Bartender Experience Qualifications
Do you have what it takes?
I get this question fall of the time and it kills me that this misconstrued perception stops people from ever becoming a mobile bartender!
How much experience do you really need?
Time and time again I have had bartenders tell me that they do not have enough experience to do what I do!!
WHAT?! That is Loco! Each and every one of my bartenders that works for me, had ZERO bartending/serving experience before they started.
I trained each and every one of them in one afternoon. They had some drink recipes to memorize as well as a few other crucial elements, but every single one of my bartenders already had one key ingredient that made every host and customer LOVE them after their very first event.
They are personable!
When it is 12:30am and you are drunk, does it really matter if the bartender makes the best Dirty Martini in the world? He has been making you laugh all night and taking extra special care of you to make sure you feel like a king!
So…when I get that question, “How much experience do I need to start mobile bartending?” the answer is
NONE!
The Bartend-4-Profit System even includes a Bartender Crash Course which teaches you everything you would ever need to know to become the best damn mobile bartender!
Think about it! At a bar or restaurant, bartenders are forced to memorize specialty drinks, make blended cocktails, work a POS, serve food, restock everything, change kegs, and handle money! That is hard work!
At a private party, you can get paid WAY more to poor beer and wine and a few basic cocktails all night. No cash, no credit cards, no restocking, and no complaining customers!
It is so easy you have no idea! I love my job!
Actually, the only tricky (yet fun) part comes in your marketing. How can you book more gigs, charge more money, and pick the best clients & parties?! Oh! Don’t worry I teach you all of that!
For now, take a look at your current situation. Is the only thing holding you back from becoming a mobile bartender the fact that you feel you are not “qualified?” If you’ve learned anything from me, you will know that that is crazy!
Some Tips on Self-Teaching:
If you want to jump right into Mobile Bartending, but do not have the “bartending experience” or you havn’t purchased The Bartend-4-Profit System yet, here are some great tips on how to teach yourself how to bartend!!
- Don’t waste your money on bartending schools!
- Frequent bar & restaurants during peek hours and WATCH!!
- Come back to these bartenders when they are NOT busy and ask as many questions as possible!
- Pick up a drink recipe book and start learning the POPULAR drinks only! A few martini-style drinks, simple built ones, and any other one that sounds familiar
- Practice at home with old vodka bottles filled with water (get speed pourers)
- Practice with the REAL THING and enjoy! I your cocktails are too strong/weak, adjust!
That’s about it! Learn how to open beer and wine, and you are ready to start bartending private parties and events!! Now get your butt out there and start making some money!


























I was originally thinking about a mobile food co. now I am wondering about this mobile bartening thing.
Very little to no start up cost?? I never bartended a day in my life, so I would have to study on popular drinks.
1. But I don’t know – do you purchase your own stock of beer and liquor? if so how does this part play in the factor?
2. Dumb question) Is this mostly done wknds, nights, and events?? (Seems like all work no play)
