Hello, I'm Rik.
I'm a hard working, enthusiastic bartender travelling around doing what I love.
I have about 6 years of experience in hospitality, of which 4 as a bartender. I have worked in all sorts of places. Amongst which beachcafes, high-end clubs which both taught me to work fast, controlled and never stress. Also I've had functions such as head bartender & supervisor FoH. Later I worked behind the cocktailbar, and eventually did the EBS course to make sure my basics are as good as they can be! Now I'm looking to travel around and offer my services as a bartender, or offer consultancy (cocktailmenus/workshops). I'm always up for a challenge and looking forward to what matchstaff might have in store for me!
