Lounge Barback

Barback

The Barback is the right hand of a bartender, providing a welcoming experience for guests by ensuring our bars are kept fully stocked, set up properly and clean and sanitary throughout the day. The Barback works in a team environment and will perform various duties, e.g. moving kegs, removing empty bottles, filling up ice, cleaning the bar area, clearing guest dishes and performing various light housekeeping duties, as they recognize that a happy guest is a win for all. As the Barback you will:

• Be a Service Star - provide exceptional service to guests by promptly welcoming and courteously assisting with serving/clearing in a can-do fashion, engaging in polite conversation with guests when appropriate and time allows. The barback anticipates bartender and guest needs so they can assist in the delivery of highly attentive service. Keep your assigned area fully stocked, e.g. liquor, glasses, garnishes, napkins, etc. so guest needs can be quickly taken care of by the bartender.

• Be a Clean Guru - maintain assigned areas so they provide a safe and clean environment at all times including, bars, service areas and the equipment servicing these areas. Report any non-functioning equipment for repair to management ASAP.

• Be a Safety & Security Agent -- follow your hotel's established safety and security policies & procedures as well as all OSHA guidelines, reporting issues to maintenance.
