Offsite Catering Server - Bartender

SanTan Brewing Company is looking for an Offsite Catering Server - Bartender to join our team in Chandler, AZ.

Located in the Phoenix metro's East Valley, SanTan was founded in 2007 in downtown Chandler, where we continue to operate a 15-bbl brewery & restaurant in our original location.
