When we asked the question: What bartender skills is the hospitality industry looking for right now? The first response we got is simple: PEOPLE!
When bars and restaurants closed during the pandemic, many hospitality staff had to look elsewhere for work, polishing skills for different industries, and leaving a vacuum in the now recovering hospitality venues.
As the world opens back up and the money starts rolling through the doors again, venues simply do not have the necessary staff, and the ones they have are often overworked and/or not 100% ready for this new level of busy. Even the worldโs top bars are looking for people!
With this in mind, there is quicker forgiveness now when going out. Many clients donโt overly question someoneโs knowledge or bill time like they used to.
Because of the pandemic, the industry as a whole has had to acquire an array of new skills. Bars and restaurant are now multifaceted, and I believe that they will continue to grow this way all around the world.

They began creating merchandise to sell during the pandemic and sold out worldwide every time they created something new. They are loved around the world!
Also, when Spain said that only outdoor spaces could re-open, Two Schmucks couldnโt. So, they opened a whole new bar and now have two! It was great watching them flourish throughout the pandemic.
