WHAT DOES BARMAID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Bartender

A bartender is a person who serves usually alcoholic beverages behind the bar, usually in a licensed establishment. Bartenders also usually maintain the supplies and inventory for the bar. A bartender can generally mix classic cocktails such as a Cosmopolitan, Manhattan, Old Fashioned, and Mojito. The bartending profession was generally a second occupation, used as transitional work for students to gain customer experience or to save money for university fees. This however is changing around the world and bartending has become a profession by choice rather than necessity. Cocktail competitions such as World Class and Bacardi Legacy has recognised some very talented bartenders in the past decade and these bartenders, and others, spread the love of cocktails and hospitality throughout the world. In America, where tipping is a local custom, bartenders depend on tips for most of their income. Bartenders are also usually responsible for confirming that customers meet the legal drinking age before serving them alcohol. In certain countries, such as Australia and Sweden, bartenders are legally required to refuse more alcohol to drunk customers.
