bartendertohospitality establishment receptionist
A bartender already meets 22% of what the hospitality establishment receptionist role asks for. The move turns on 15 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 76.3 of 100 · career change
1 Share of the hospitality establishment receptionist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the bartender profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hospitality establishment receptionist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a bartender background worth leading with.

- already held comply with food safety and hygiene assisting and caring
- already held process payments management skills
- already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held identify customer's needs communication, collaboration and creativity
All 6 carried skills, including the 5 the hospitality establishment receptionist role treats as required.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
