FAQ
Do I provide the alcohol, or does the bartender?
Hosts typically provide the alcohol, mixers, ice, and glassware. Bartenders can list whether they're able to help you plan a shopping list or provide additional bar tools.
How are rates set?
Each bartender sets their own rates based on experience, event type, and demand. You'll see hourly rates and any minimum booking requirements before you confirm.
Where does Corkscrew operate?
Corkscrew is currently focused on the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and surrounding areas.
How do I report a problem?
Contact our support team immediately via the 'Help' button in your dashboard, or email support@corkscrew.app. For urgent issues during an event, use the emergency contact number provided in your booking confirmation.
Why you don't see reviews (yet)
Corkscrew is a new marketplace built for the DFW community.
We're starting with a smaller group of experienced bartenders and hosts so we can:
- •
Make sure the booking experience is smooth
- •
Collect honest feedback from real events
- •
Grow reviews the right way — from actual hosts and bartenders
As more events are booked through Corkscrew, you'll start to see ratings and reviews from real weddings, parties, and corporate events across DFW.
Why Corkscrew was built
Corkscrew was created by someone with both service industry experience and tech experience who saw the same problem over and over:
- •
Hosts didn't know where to find reliable bartenders.
- •
Bartenders wanted more flexible, event-based work.
Corkscrew connects the two in a simple, transparent marketplace built specifically for the DFW area.
