Goal: Bar staff specialty week. Cocktail menu deep dive, Pill program training, batch and draft program, full bar release.
Bar staff who pass Day 14 enter Week 3. FOH (server, host) does not go through Week 3 — their training concludes at Day 14.
Bar lead is assigned as the trainee's Week 3 coach (typically a different person than the Week 1-2 floor coach). The bar lead owns the technical depth; the trainee owns the practice reps.
Trainee on Week 3 is at full tip share from Day 14 onward. Week 3 shifts paid at full bartender rate.
Day 21 review with bar lead + MOD. Bar release means the trainee can be the lead bartender on a shift (Monday-Thursday solo bar shift, or junior bar on a Fri/Sat partnered shift).
