Responsibilities

As a Bartender - Catering and Events (Seasonal or Permanent), these are the results you'll be hired to accomplish:

  • Quick & Accurate Drink Execution
  • Mix and serve drinks quickly and accurately, maintaining quality and consistency throughout the event.
  • Smooth, Guest-First Bar Service
  • Deliver a warm, welcoming bar experience that keeps guests happy, lines moving, and the energy high all night.
  • Efficient Bar Setup & Breakdown
  • Set up the event bar efficiently at the start and break it down completely at the end, leaving the space clean and better than we found it.
  • Clean & Organized Event Bar
  • Keep your bar area clean, organized, and stocked at all times during the event.

Pay

We pay a base wage of $18.00 - $20.00 per hour, plus tips. Base wage depends on relevant experience. Tips are based on your level of hospitality, events worked, and how busy the bar is - the busier, the better! Tips are shared amongst the bar staff at that event.

Work Schedule

This position can be part-time or full-time, with a flexible schedule designed around the demands of our catered events. All-day, 10-12 hour weekend shifts are most common. Weekday shifts are also available, but typically reserved for full-time employees.

  • You're a high-energy self-starter who jumps into action, and doesn't need hand-holding to get things done.
  • You're Scrappy
  • You're a resourceful problem-solver who makes things happen; if there's no door, you get in through a window.
  • You Take Your Work Seriously
  • You take pride in your work, big and small, and you have a natural reflex to do things the *right* way.
  • But, You Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously
  • You're a positive team player who owns up to your mistakes, is open to feedback, and is humble about your wins.
