Barback Jobs in Sandy, UT (NOW HIRING)

Lucky's Iron Door Roadhouse | Jordan Landing, West Jordan, Utah
The Engine That Keeps the Bar Moving.
Great bartenders get a lot of attention.
But behind every great bartender is someone making sure they have everything they need to be great.
That's the Barback.
At Lucky's Iron Door Roadhouse, our Barbacks are the engine behind the bar. They're stocking, cleaning, anticipating, communicating, moving, and solving problems before most people even realize there was a problem.
When the bar is packed and everything is running smoothly, there's probably a great Barback somewhere behind it making that happen.
We're looking for smart, driven, responsible people who aren't afraid of hard work, move with purpose, pay attention to what's happening around them, and take pride in being the person their team can depend on.
No previous restaurant or bar experience is required.
We'll train the right person.
This position pays hourly plus tips, with full-time and part-time opportunities available.
And for the right person, this position can become a pathway to training behind the bar.
About Lucky's Iron Door Roadhouse
Lucky's Iron Door Roadhouse opened in Jordan Landing in 2019 as the second home of the award-winning burgers that began with Lucky 13 in Salt Lake City.
We serve brunch, lunch, dinner, handcrafted cocktails, beer, and the burgers our guests have come to know us for.
But none of it happens because of one person.
Great restaurants are teams.
And behind our bar, the Barback is one of the most important members of that team.
A great Barback doesn't simply respond to what the bartender needs.
They learn to anticipate it.
A Day in the Life of a Barback
Your job is to keep the bar moving.
Ice is getting low.
You already noticed.
Glassware is disappearing.
You're bringing more.
A bartender is burning through a particular bottle.
You've already grabbed the backup.
Guests leave.
You're clearing and cleaning.
The trash is full.
It's handled.
The bar gets slammed.
You don't wait for someone to tell you what to do.
You look around, figure out where you're needed most, and get there.
You're stocking.
You're cleaning.
You're carrying.
You're communicating.
You're moving.
And while much of what you do happens behind the scenes, your work directly affects every guest sitting at the bar.
When you're great at this job, bartenders can focus more of their attention on taking care of guests because they know you're taking care of them.
That's hospitality too.
Who You Are
You're someone who works hard even when nobody is watching.
You notice things.
You don't walk past something that needs to be done.
You move with purpose.
You're dependable.
You can take direction without taking it personally.
You don't disappear when things get difficult.
When everyone else speeds up, you speed up too.
You ask questions.
You want to learn.
You help without keeping score.
You understand that no task is beneath you when it helps the team succeed.
And you take pride in becoming the person people know they can count on.
If you eventually want to become a bartender, even better.
But first, we want you to become an exceptional Barback.
