Do you vet your bartenders and catering staff?

Yes—thoroughly. All of our bartenders and catering staff go through a multi-step vetting process to ensure professionalism, skill, and reliability. Here’s what that includes:

  • Training & Certification: All bartenders are certified through National Bartending School, trained in mixology, customer service, and responsible alcohol service (TIPS or LEAD certified as required).

  • Hands-On Testing: Before working events, each team member is evaluated in real-world bar simulations to ensure they’re confident behind the bar.

  • Background Checks: We conduct background screenings as needed based on event type and client requirements.

  • Experience Review: We assess each staff member’s event experience and skills, placing them in appropriate roles to ensure quality service.

  • Professional Standards: Punctuality, appearance, communication, and attitude all play a role in whether someone becomes part of our active event team.

When you book with National Bartender Staffing, you can trust that your event will be staffed with qualified, polished, and dependable professionals—every time.
