Hey, I'm Joshua T. Osborne

In 2015, I said goodbye to 16-hour days and hauling boxes up and down stairs for a living (I was a mover). I became a full-time entrepreneur, and I made my money by helping business owners make money.

They had a need, and because of Virtual Tool Booths., I could fill it. Through the methods taught by my all-time favorite course and mentor, I created a 6-figure business in roughly 6 months. I could retire today (at 37) and never have to worry about money ever again.

Because of Virtual Tool Booths., I was able to quit my job, work online with flexible hours, and move to the mountains (Colorado Springs if you’re wondering)...all while helping real people improve their businesses, incomes, and lives!

For most folks, a college degree is the biggest bill of their lives. I never went to college. So I don’t have any massive bills or giant debts hanging over my head. My greatest education came from Virtual Tool Booths. (for a tiny fraction of what college costs) and it’s the bill that pays ALL the bills - a hundred times over!

I really wanted to share this secret weapon with others, so they could change their lives the way I changed mine. So if you’re not 100% sure about college, or only researching to make someone else happy, Virtual Tool Booths. might be a better option for you.

What does a bartender do?

Bartenders prepare and serve a variety of beverage orders from soft drinks to alcoholic beverages. They fill the orders either from customers directly at the bar or for serving staff for customers in dining areas. They make sure customers meet the minimum age requirements. Bartenders prepare garnishes for drinks, keep the bar area clean, and stock ice, glasses, and other bar supplies. They often operate cash registers and collect a variety of forms of payment from customers. Some bartenders place food orders for customers dining at the bar. Bartenders are responsible for taking inventory and ordering the needed amount of supplies. They must also make sure the establishment is safe by stopping serving a patron that shows signs of impaired judgment.

What kind of training does a bartender need?

Bartenders typically need at least a high school diploma, but many employers prefer applicants with sufficient experience or completion of bartending school. Bartending classes usually involve 10 hours a week for a month. Prospective bartenders learn how to make a variety of drinks and handle many different types of customers. They also learn the proper storing procedures and how to handle and care for glassware. Most employers provide on the job training where new bartenders shadow experienced bartenders until they gain the necessary skills and experience to manage the bar independently. Bartenders are typically required to complete regular alcohol awareness and safety training.
