"A Klingon food and/or beverage preparer is a {vutwI'} (for convenience, 
this will continue to be translated as "cook"). A bartender, on the other 
hand, is a {chom}." (KGT 83)

"If there is a separate bar ({tach}), the bartender ({chom}) will mix 
drinks; otherwise, these chores fall to the {vutwI'}." (KGT 100)

Cf. also *{tach QorghwI'} "tavern-keeper" used in Roger Cheesbro's (DloraH) 
"ghIlghameS: A Klingon Translation" published by the KLI.
