Sample Reference and Recommendation Letter for Bartender Position
August 14, 2023
To Whom It May Concern
I am delighted to write this reference letter for Eric Murphy who has worked as a bartender at ABC Company for 5 years. Always cheerful and dependent, Eric has seemed and felt like a permanent fixture at my restaurant all these years.
Interacting positively with customers to assess their ordering needs comes naturally to Eric. He possesses exceptional expertise in mixing and garnishing drinks. Moreover, he is known for effectively planning, organizing, and controlling the operations of the bar.
With him in the restaurant, I seldom have to worry about customer satisfaction. In many instances, Eric has also helped me with menu planning activities which resulted in a significant response from restaurant patrons. Additionally, Eric’s unique non-alcoholic concoction coined CLI (Cool Lily Image) was an instant hit with our patrons and increased bar sales by $4000 per month.
I believe in Eric’s outstanding abilities when he is in the role of a bartender, and it is satisfying to be able to give him my highest recommendation. I hope this information proves helpful. If you require any further information regarding Eric’s work, I will be pleased to answer.
Sincerely,
