Bartender

What you will be doing

• Make everything on the list exactly to recipe: coffee, juices, mocktails, cocktails, wine and beer.
• Prepare ingredients and tools and set up the counter before service starts.
• Take orders at the bar and send drinks out promptly and in the right order.
• Keep portioning consistent so the drink does not change between one bartender and the next.
• Clean as you go: glassware, spoons, the machine and the grinder, and the counter itself.
• Check ingredients through the shift and pull anything spoiled.
• Restock the bar during and after service, and flag what is running low.
• Work with the floor and kitchen so drinks land with the food rather than ahead of it or behind it.
• Meet food hygiene and safety standards in preparation and storage.

Background we are looking for

• At least one year as a bartender or in beverage preparation, in a venue where drinks are made to a written spec.
• Both machine coffee and alcoholic drinks, or a strong side in one and a willingness to learn the other properly.

Skills and tools

• Espresso machine and grinder, and the classic and contemporary cocktails you would expect on a small list.
• Working knowledge of spirits, wine and beer.
• Service speed: several tickets at once without losing the spec on any of them.
• Conversational English, enough to take an order and explain a drink.
• Hygiene as a habit rather than a task at the end of the night.

Nice to have

• Basic latte art.
• Vietnamese drip coffee alongside machine coffee.
• Any events or private function experience.

What good looks like here

Good is consistency that a guest never has to think about. Two people at a quiet table get the drink made the same way as a full Saturday. You hand over a counter that the next person can walk straight into, and you say when something is running out before it runs out.

Pay and benefits

There is a group benefits programme across the team. We would rather go through pay and what comes with the role with you directly than publish a list, so ask us when we talk.
