How do you keep yourself busy during a slow night?

Let the hiring manager know that you find ways to be productive, especially during the slower shifts. In your response, demonstrate that you are a team player too.

"If it's a slow night and all my barback responsibilities are complete, I find ways to help the servers. I help run their food to the tables, help clean dirty tables and restock their side stations. Then, if it's quiet and the manager is not making cuts, I ask the bartender how to make the popular menu items or practice ringing drinks on the point of sale system (P.O.S.) system."
