Corporate Bar Manager

Corporate Bar Manager

This is not a desk job. The Corporate Bar Manager is equally comfortable behind the bar on a busy Friday night as they are in a vendor meeting on a Tuesday morning. They are the connective tissue between ownership's vision and the bartenders executing it every shift leading by doing, coaching by example, and bringing genuine enthusiasm to every interaction.

The Corporate Bar Manager oversees bar operations across multiple venues, ensuring consistent guest experience, beverage quality, compliance, and profitability. This role supports local bar teams, develops standards, and works with leadership on menu strategy, labor control, inventory, training, and promotions.

Core responsibilities include:

• Training, coaching, and supporting bar managers, bartenders, and barbacks to maintain service quality and brand standards.
• Reviewing customer feedback, resolving operational issues, and supporting consistent guest experience improvements.
• Coordinating with vendors, general managers, and corporate leadership on purchasing, promotions, and rollout of new programs.
• Standardizing bar operations across locations, including opening, closing, service, sanitation, and guest recovery procedures.
• Monitoring beverage costs, labor costs, waste, inventory levels, and sales performance to improve profitability.
• Overseeing menu development, recipe specs, pricing, and seasonal beverage program updates.
• Ensuring compliance with alcohol service laws, health and safety rules, licensing requirements, and company policies.

We are seeking an experienced Corporate Bar Manager to oversee bar operations across multiple locations. This role is responsible for maintaining consistent service standards, developing beverage programs, training bar leadership, managing inventory and labor performance, and ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and company policies.

Qualifications include:

• 5+ years of bar, beverage, or hospitality management experience, ideally in multi-unit operations.
• Strong knowledge of inventory control, labor management, POS systems, and beverage cost analysis.
• Proven leadership in hiring, training, scheduling, and performance management.
