Bartenders, like Servers, guide our guests through their meal creating an excellent, cared-for experience for anyone who chooses to join us at the bar. In addition to attending to the beverage needs of bar and dining room guests, Bartenders serve an additional audience—every member of the Service team becomes their “guest” while in service. Bartenders must engage fellow colleagues on the Service team with patience and empathy. Bartenders also assist in monthly inventory, cocktail development, Service Team education, and more. Additionally, as an extension of the Host/Maître d’ role, Bartenders are expected to recognize regular guests, friends and family, hospitality industry peers/ key press and reviewers, and warmly welcome first-time diners.
