Typically a barback doesn't ring in transactions or have a cash drawer. However, some establishments give the barback a drawer during busy periods or assist until the next bartender arrives.

The hiring manager asks this question to learn more about your experience ringing in orders or giving a customer change. Then, re-read the job description to know what system they use or visit the establishment to see for yourself.

"I am very comfortable using MICROS because of my experience as a server. I only ring in orders when the bar becomes too busy for the bartenders scheduled. Anytime I prepare a drink, our standard is to provide a receipt right away. Then, if that guest wants to settle up, the bartender completes the transaction on the register, and I change the guest."
