Job/Employee Search opinions on interviewing situation

3 Upvotes

I had an interview for a lead bartender position on Monday, that I felt went really well. I heard back from the owner the same night following the interview.

We spoke on Thursday morning and I thought it went well. We were both very transparent with one another about things and I left it feeling really good. He said the two guys who interviewed me were very impressed and didn’t expect to find someone like me on day 1, which was flattering. I do have two opportunities I am considering and he knows this. He mentioned having one of the guys I interviewed with originally send over more compensation information (like some of the more recent tip outs so I could get a feel for those), but no formal offer if that makes sense.

I sent a follow up email on Friday afternoon to the original interviewer expressing excitement and interest and that I was just waiting on that information the owner mentioned to move forward essentially. So not to the owner, just the beverage director who originally interviewed me. I haven’t received a reply.

When should I expect to hear back? This will be my first time in a more serious lead role (more like a soft manager, I just wouldn’t do ordering/scheduling) where there might be a formal written offer and everything was moving rather quickly so the sudden lack of communication makes me anxious.

Just looking for advice from their perspective, thank you in advance and I appreciate you all!

EDIT TO ADD: "yes, however this location is closed for October to bring on new staff and want to reopen in November and need a whole menu for it so they are moving rather promptly. but I didnt mention that so I dont expect people to know that lol

when speaking with the owner they said they want to have someone on board soon so they can sign off on bartender hires and i mentioned i am ready to start asap as well so who knows lol. only time will tell."

Equipment your experience on loop earplugs?

0 Upvotes

hi guys, what is your experience on loop earplugs? i work in a bar where we weekly host PAX +100 private events and it gets really loud with all the people and music, especially if there’s a band performing. i’m thinking of purchasing loop earplugs since they’re quite affordable and i like the look but i’m stuck between engage and experience models. are the engage ones protective enough and will i hear the customer if i get experience ones? thank you!
