AFAIK never used in a canon sentence.
KGT 83: In fact {vut} can also be used in reference to making a beverage, whether simply mixing ingredients together (such as putting cream in coffee) or starting from scratch (such as brewing ale). 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 101: If there is a separate bar ({tach}), the bartender ({chom}) will mix drinks; otherwise, these chores fall to the {vutwI'}.
KGT 102: If the restaurant [{Qe'}] is large enough to have a separate bar ({tach}), the dining party, upon completion of the meal, is likely to move to the bar and continue drinking and, probably, toasting and singing.
Similar words:
jabwI' server, waiter, waitress (n)
tebwI' food server in a {Do Qe'} (n)
vutwI' cook (n)
*{tach QorghwI'} tavern-keeper (n) (Gilgamesh)
