Requirements
  •  Must have reliable personal transportation and be willing to travel throughout the Portland metro area and surrounding cities 
  •  Valid OLCC Service Permit (or ability to obtain before employment) 
  •  Ability to lift and move kegs, cases of beverages, and bar equipment 
  •  Comfortable standing and walking for extended periods 
  •  Available to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as events require
