"As it slows down, I do one final restock of the beer coolers. Then, I fill up the napkin dispensers and straws and remove trash from behind the bar. When I have those tasks done, I help the bartender close up. Then, I focus on cleaning the bottles, drinking wells, and the areas of the bar where guests are not sitting."
