As same as the balance of the ingredients in a mixed drink, or an original dish prepared by the great chef, there should be balance behind the bar within the male-female ratio. I have met many great female bartenders, but the ratio is not in their favor. Cruise ships, in my opinion have a good ratio of those, more than a hotels and bars that are land based. Why is it so?
I believe that many of us that worked there will know the answer. But, that is not my point. Let's take in regard any organisation, company, establishment in the bar industry. I personally love seeing a female bartender, reminding myself constantly that I should not tip her more than a guy that served me a great drink as well and did a good job behind the bar. Regardless of the charm that radiates and smile that she gave me.
There is something else I have wanted to mention to that in my opinion is very important matter in bar business. And that is that healthy male-female ratio in the collective that can produce a good vibe, a healthier working environment on a longer period of time. Being a bartender, bar manager and eventually bar owner this question popped up as one of interesting ones to deal with when organizing interesting and long lasting bar concept. Taking all the standard bar matters in consider I see this question as one of the important ones to sort out and it had proven itself to create more positive vibe, better working relations and more positive energy within my staff, all together. Ratio of 7-3 in favor of male bartenders worked great.
So, bar managers get women in your bars as well and look at the customers come back and profits up and all staff producing a great vibe and being happy.
