Footman Hospitality is looking to hire a Bartender for Bangers & Lace!

Who we are:

Our goal is simple, we're a Chicago based hospitality group that strives to create authentic dining & drinking establishments that are memorable and focus on quality.  

Marked by a high level of collaboration with an array of talented hospitality professionals, each concept is unique. In 2013, after 10 years of "one off" projects, the partners formed Footman Hospitality. This was the natural evolution of the company, who now manage, brand and have expanded their unique hospitality ventures under one cohesive operation and vision.

In the early 19th century, a footman was no ordinary man. Charged with running the most precious and precarious tasks in a household, a footman’s purpose was to apply a relentless attention to detail to household affairs that often escaped other staff. The footman undertook every task, from greeting guests to serving dinners, with a refined sense of style and a gracious demeanor.

Expectations:

The Bartender is responsible, hard working & has attention to detail. They are dedicated to the systems that management has put in place. They set an example for the rest of the service team & must be representative of the kind of people we want to bring into our bars & create the vibes & culture we want to present to our guests.
