Mixologists often encounter challenges such as handling high customer volume, managing multiple drink orders simultaneously, and maintaining consistent quality under pressure. Effective time management, strong organizational skills, and clear communication with bar staff are crucial in these situations.

Job description

POSITION SUMMARY

Our jobs aren't just about mixing drinks. Instead, we want to build an experience that is memorable and unique. Our bartenders have the basics down, but are constantly on the look-out for new trends, micro-local offerings, and discoverers' evolving needs. They are not just a beverage enthusiast, but also the host of the space. Their role goes beyond the bar itself to take ownership of discoverer service more broadly and do what needs to be done. Mixologists will use their knowledge and expertise to make the bar look and function flawlessly. They will build relationships with others across the hotel and in the community, to anticipate and deliver on our discoverers' needs. They should be passionate about the discoverer service experience, but also have an eye for detail - from the money that moves through their hands, to the information they provide to discoverers, to the quality of their drinks.

No matter what position you are in, there are a few things that are critical to success - creating a safe workplace, following company policies and procedures, protecting company assets, maintaining confidentiality, and ensuring your uniform and personal appearance are professional. Mixologists feel comfortable answering discoverer questions or concerns regarding the origin, vintage, and style of various wines. Mixologists will be on their feet and moving around (stand, sit, or walk for an extended period of time) and taking a hands-on approach to their work (move, lift, carry, push, pull, and place objects weighing less than or equal to 25 pounds without assistance; reach overhead and below the knees, including bending, twisting, pulling, and stooping). Doing all these things well (and other reasonable job duties as requested) is critical for Mixologists - to get it right for our discoverers and our business each and every time. They will partner with management in creating a team of individuals who will provoke unique experiences for our Discoverers by assisting in the hiring, training and development process of our ambassadors.
