Bartender | Saint James French Diner | Palihotel San Diego

Bartender Position at Saint James French Diner

We're looking for a friendly bartender that's enthusiastic about making well-crafted drinks and forging authentic connections with guests at The Saint James French Diner at Palihotel San Diego.

Palihotel San Diego features Saint James French Diner, a restaurant and bar that blends the utilitarian nature of an American diner with the subtle elegance of French bistro cuisine. Our menu is hearty and simple, yet refined by nature, paying homage to roadside food halls in Southern France. It's shared mussels and a beer in the afternoon and it's a burger and two martinis at night. It's sensible, unpretentious, and totally chic! If you're passionate about creating memorable dining experiences, thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced restaurant environment, and find joy in providing delightful, consistent service that turns first-time visitors into regulars, we invite you to join our team at Saint James French Diner!

Tasks at Hand:

• Making whatever the mood calls for mimosas at brunch, craft cocktails with our chef's tasting menu, or espresso drinks to-go.
• Creating a warm, friendly, and laidback atmosphere that turns first-time guests into regulars.
• Learning our steps of service, products, menu, and systems inside and out.
• Working with the team to ensure the restaurant and bar run smoothly with everything in its place. We like to keep things tidy and fun for patrons and our staff.
• Restocking, replenishing, and prepping the bar as needed.
• Communicating openly with bar and restaurant managers when it comes to customer feedback.
• Collaborating with the hotel staff to ensure overnight guests visit the bar and know about all the great offerings (and promotions!) available exclusively to them.

What We Are Looking For:

• Excellent knowledge in mixing, garnishing and serving drinks
• Ability to keep the bar organized, stocked and clean
• Fluency in English; both verbal and non-verbal preferred
• Ability to provide legible communication and directions
• Compute basic arithmetic
• Proven working experience as a bartender
• 1-3 years of experience as a Bartender

What's In It For You:

• A competitive compensation package including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• 401(k) retirement plan (future you will love this one!)
• Paid time off, holiday pay, and sick pay when you're under the weather.
• Career advancement in an organization committed to helping star employees thrive.
• There's also an opportunity to expand your career trajectory as we are a fast-growing company with hotels and restaurants in multiple cities.
• Professional development that sets you up for success across multiple hospitality career paths.
• A collaborative work environment where your creative ideas can come to fruition.
• Amazing employee discounts on hotels and dining across our entire portfolio (18 hotels and more to come!)
• Hands-on training with a nimble team.
