  • Oversee bar equipment maintenance and coordinate repairs and vendor service calls
  • Ensure responsible alcohol service and compliance with all applicable regulations; serve as the team’s point person on licensing and compliance matters
  • Act as a key point of contact for guest concerns and service recovery at the bar
  • Lead pre-shift briefings and communicate menu changes, promotions, and service standards to the team
  • Partner with the Beverage Director and General Manager on cost control, purchasing decisions, and beverage program strategy
  • Communicate effectively with service, kitchen, and management teams to support smooth operations
  • Complete opening, closing, and side work responsibilities, and ensure bar staff do the same
  • Contribute to a positive, collaborative, and team-oriented work environment
Qualifications
  • 4+ years of bartending experience in a hospitality-driven restaurant, cocktail bar, or wine-focused environment, including 1+ years in a lead, shift-supervisor, or management role preferred
  • Deep knowledge of cocktails, spirits, wine, beer, and beverage service, with a passion for mentoring others
  • Proven leadership, coaching, and team management skills
  • Strong organizational skills with experience in inventory management, ordering, and cost control
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to liaise between bar staff, service teams, kitchen, and management
