Frequently Asked Questions

Regardless of someone's experience, all PBS staff must go through our extensive training program. The program consists of ten hours of hands-on training. All bartenders attend a two-day, ten-hour training session on how to work in a banquet bar setting. All bartenders are required to be TIPS certified, which is a four-hour class on alcohol intervention procedures.
