Woo hoo! Just got promoted, and the bossman is assigning new duties, the first one of which that is new to me is hiring staff. I know what it takes to waitress, and what makes a good one, but the problem is the ones walking through the door don't have it. I'm already thinking of just pickin' one, but I know that'll look bad to the bossman. How do I pick the best of the worst apps?

Congratulations!
I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit. If you know the business as you say you do, and you know what the job requires, then use your gut. Choose someone who you think is a "diamond in the rough". They may not have all the skills yet, but look for potential, just as you would for any employee for any position. If you just go with your common sense and your experience, your boss will see you make the best of a bad situation.

Your boss is lucky to have an employee that takes the job so seriously. Kudos to you.

There's always the "probation period". Try her out and see if she works well; if she doesn't, move on to the next one. Your boss should know that you don't just pick anybody that comes in.

If your manager isn't happy with the individuals you choose, he/she should be doing it themselves.

I'm advertising mainly by word of mouth right now; just kinda telling the regulars.

That's a good way to start, but if you're not getting the applicants you want, how about putting an ad in a publication? This site has a jobs section, you could start there.

I agree; there are lots of websites and job boards for experienced bar staff. Go there instead.

Yep-I've got two new girls and a new guy in the back. We'll see how they do.

Do you have to pay to view these ads, or are they free?

I can look through the help wanted offerings for free; the radio ads do cost.

I believe with most of these services you only have to pay if you place the ad.

I did find some that displayed only part of the ad; I had to register with their website to get full access, but it was free.
