The social media specially created for the bartending community worldwide was launched on 25th August 2012.

The Global Bartending Exchange (GBE) is created by Scottish Fraser Campbell and Australian Hannah Keirl for bartenders and hospitality professionals to connect with each other. “It provides bartenders and industry professionals the opportunity to discuss, debate, share, co-ordinate, recommend and develop in one of the world’s most dynamic industries,” says Hannah.

Let’s look at the features in the website and see how it works. First of all, you have to sign up to use the features and it will ask you which hospitality profession you are in and which country you are based in. You can sign up as an individual or as a bar, the former allows you to post status and look for jobs and the latter lets you post your bar under the venue list.

Then choose a location which you are interested to find out about the latest happenings such as events, recruitments, job offers and even offers on accommodation if you wish to visit and work in that city. “If you’re wanting to travel, the forums are set up and connected in a manner that you can begin paving the way before you land so that you can potentially have a roof and a job to walk straight into – without having any contacts in that city to begin with,” explains Fraser.

So whether you are offering a job at a bar or looking for one in another city, try this website and get connected with the bar community in that city. This forum will see much exchange among the people with a good heart. Show your good bartender side and share a drink on the forum.
