Bar Manager Cover Letter

As a Bar Manager, you are visible to guests and clients. So you must be a professional in hospitality service. Effective interaction with people is essential in this role. Focus your letter on your exceptional interpersonal and communicative skills and your ability to provide customer-oriented service.

Don’t forget to include your contact information. Your email and a phone number will do, but make sure they are sources of communication that you check regularly. Hiring managers are often very busy, so they won’t make multiple attempts to reach you if they want to schedule an interview. And they definitely won’t go through the trouble of looking up your contact information if it isn’t right on your application documents.

Bartender duties will include managing the beverages and handling large groups of patrons at one time. A strong work ethic, a passion for food and drink, tidiness, and good self-organization skills are a must under these working conditions.

Don't forget to change the recipient's name and company name for each cover letter you write! Having your letter addressed to the wrong company is a sure fire sign that you just use one generic letter to send to each vacancy. This will make you look lazy and will put your true interest in working for the company into question.

To run a bar successfully, it takes more than just strong interpersonal and soft skills. You also have to have an aptitude for the business side of the industry which includes training staff, scheduling, following safety and health regulations, taking inventory, setting pricing, and recording sales. Convince the employer that you possess the knowledge to run the business by mentioning your computer literacy, numeracy, leadership, and managerial skills.
