Deputy Bar Manager Tabaco Lounge, Schaffhausen

10 Questions for Ted Haupt

Ted Haupt grew up in Rheinau as the youngest son in a family of four. Irregular working hours are nothing unusual in the Haupt household, as both parents worked in care.

After school, Ted starts an apprenticeship twice - and drops out twice. The repetitive nature of a 9-to-5 job doesn't really suit Ted's go-getting nature.

When he sees an ad on the internet for the European Bartender School in Berlin, he signs up and starts at the Cuba Club after graduation.

Since 1 January 2020, he has been mixing behind the bar at Tabaco Lounge as Barkeeper and assistant bar manager.

The 10 questions

1. who would you have liked to serve a drink to?
My late grandfather. He used to drink his Citroen Brandewijn with 7 Up. I would create a cocktail for him with these two ingredients.

2. The first thing you do when you start working?
I turn on the Music and the coffee machine.

3. What do you love about your job?
The variety. I never enjoyed the 9 to 5 style of work.

4. What gets on your nerves the most?
When guests whistle. That's a no-go.

5. A world without social media would be...
... probably quite nice. But actually, you can't really imagine it without it anymore.

6. What was your craziest trip?
When I was 18, we went by car to Prague for the Silver Star night. You saw a lot there.

7. the most unusual cocktail you've ever made.
An espresso martini twist with homemade gingerbread syrup and a mezcal chilli infusion.

8. the last luxury you allowed yourself.
In October, I spent a few days in Basel at the Hotel Märthof with my girlfriend at the time.

9. three qualities to describe you.
I am ambitious, hospitable and reserved.

10. The last 100 francs and only 24 hours left...
I would first get a good bottle of wine. Then I would tell the father to cook something good so that we can have a good time in the family.
