Applicants without bar management, nightclub management, or alcohol inventory experience will not be considered.

This is not an entry-level management position. Applicants should have a proven track record of successfully leading teams, managing bar operations, controlling inventory, and maintaining accountability in a fast-paced hospitality environment.

• Train staff on bartending standards, cocktail construction, cleanliness, safety, and responsible alcohol service.
• Conduct regular inventory counts and maintain accurate records.
• Ensure all areas of the venue meet cleanliness, maintenance, and operational standards.
• Address guest concerns professionally and effectively.
• Assist with cash handling, opening procedures, closing procedures, and nightly reporting.
• Work nights, weekends, holidays, and special events.

• Ability to prioritize tasks, manage time effectively, and perform under pressure.
• Reliable transportation and dependable attendance.
• Must currently reside in the Greater New Orleans area.
• Must be available to work evenings, weekends, and holidays.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
The successful candidate is a self-motivated leader who does not require constant supervision. They are organized, accountable, detail-oriented, and willing to work alongside their team when necessary.
They understand that leadership in hospitality means setting expectations, enforcing standards, solving problems, developing employees, maintaining inventory controls, and delivering consistent execution every shift.

COMPENSATION

• Competitive salary based on experience.
• Performance-based bonus opportunities.
