Austin Bartending Co. offers a full service, customized bar experience for you and your guests. We provide a consultation prior to the event date in order to create a customized drink menu for your event. Our bartender(s) will arrive 30-60 minutes prior to the time of the event in order to set up the bar area. Set up includes preparing garnishes (e.g. cutting limes), icing beer, wine, champagne, etc. Our bartender(s) will also be there up to an hour after the event is scheduled to end for clean up of the bar area.

The following is simply a guideline and not requirement. Usually bartenders can handle 1-100 people per bartender. However, in order to ensure proper tending of the bar area and minimize the waiting time for your guests, we recommend 2 staff for 75+ guests. This may be 2 bartenders or 1 bartender and 1 bar-back. The number of staff for your event will be discussed during your personal consultation. A Barback stocks the bar with liquor, ice, glasses, beer, garnishes, and so on. The bar-back receives a portion of the bartender’s tips. A barback helps the bartender.

Our bartenders are professional service providers and tips are customary. Gratuity is not included in our general fees posted above. We offer two options for handling tips: 1. Guest-Gratuity – This option allows for a tip jar on the bar. 2. Host-Gratuity – The will be no tip jar on the bar and the host will pay a minimum of $2.50 per guest. Some say: TIPS is an acronym for -To Insure Prompt Service-.
