Bartender

Bartender — Pupatella

Pupatella brings authentic Neapolitan pizza — the same way it’s been made in Naples for generations — to neighborhoods across the DC area. We’re VPN-certified, import our San Marzano tomatoes, and hand-tear our mozzarella fresh every day. No shortcuts, just real Italian tradition served with modern, easygoing hospitality.

We’re looking for a Bartender who loves great food and drinks, genuinely enjoys people, and knows how to create a welcoming bar experience — whether a guest is stopping in for a quick Aperol Spritz or settling in for pizza and a bottle of wine.

• Deliver warm, attentive hospitality and create an inviting experience at the bar

• Prepare cocktails, beer, wine, and other beverages accurately, consistently, and efficiently

• Guide guests through our beverage and food menus with knowledgeable, enthusiastic recommendations

• Provide timely beverage service for both bar guests and the dining room

• Coordinate smoothly with servers, hosts, and the kitchen to keep service moving

• Maintain a clean, organized, and properly stocked bar throughout your shift

• Follow responsible alcohol service, food safety, and sanitation standards

• Jump in and support the team during high-volume service

• Uphold Pupatella’s standards for quality, cleanliness, and guest experience

• Prior bartending experience preferred

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume restaurant environment

• Strong communicator who works well as part of a team

• Stays composed, organized, and upbeat during busy rushes

• Working knowledge of classic cocktails, beer, wine, and spirits

• Curious about Italian food, wine, aperitivo culture, and hospitality

• Responsible and attentive when it comes to alcohol service and guest safety

• A genuine passion for hospitality and making people feel welcome
