Bartender at Mamani

Mamani (1 Michelin Star)

Mamani, the newest restaurant from the Dallas-based hospitality group FLHO, features French cuisine with an Italian accent from Executive Chef Christophe De Lellis. The cooking is at once approachable, celebrates simplicity, clarity of flavor, and the excellence of the ingredients. The founders drew inspiration for the project from their French-born grandmother, whom they fondly call “Mamani.” Paris-born chef De Lellis brings inspiration from his food-loving grandparents as well; all four are Italian. Mamani is the flagship restaurant for the new Quad development in Uptown.

We are dedicated to offering opportunities to learn, grow, and develop as we build our team, which is focused on genuine hospitality, teamwork, and mutual support.

Our bar program is an extension of that commitment. It is built around precision, hospitality, and an intimate knowledge of spirits, champagne, and wine. We are looking for a bartender who does not simply execute drinks — but who understands that behind the bar at Mamani is one of the most visible and consequential positions in the room.

The Role

As a Bartender at Mamani, you will be responsible for the full bar experience from pre-service preparation through close. You will work closely with our sommelier team and floor captains to ensure seamless continuity between bar and dining room service. You will be expected to hold the same standard of precision, poise, and guest awareness as every other member of our front-of-house team.

This is not a high-volume cocktail bar position. It is a fine dining role that requires discipline, restraint, and an elevated sensibility about hospitality.
