Job Summary
We are looking for a personable and multitasking Server/Bartender to join our dining team. In this role, you’ll be the face of the club’s social hub, where members come to relax after a round of golf or a day at the pool. We need someone who can balance high-energy service with a friendly, "home away from home" attitude, ensuring every member feels like a VIP. We are looking for a service professional who can lead by example and uphold our clubs’ standards while maintaining a fun and upbeat environment.
Key Responsibilities
-
Create Relationships: Build genuine rapport with members. You aren't just taking orders; you’re the person who knows their "usual" drink and asks how their golf game went.
-
Fast-Paced Versatility: Pivot quickly between pouring draft beers and craft cocktails behind the bar to running casual fare (burgers, wings, salads) to patio tables.
-
Standards: Maintain a clean, organized, and inviting bar and dining area. Even in a casual setting, the "Club Standard" for cleanliness and organization applies. Maintain a professional demeanor with both staff and members alike.
-
Effortless Upselling: Suggest seasonal drafts or the chef’s daily special in a way that feels like a friendly recommendation rather than a sales pitch.
-
Simple Transactions: Accurately ring in member house accounts and guest charges, ensuring the billing process is seamless and unobtrusive.
-
Team Support: Be a "team-first" player, help run food for others, clear empty glassware quickly, and keep the ice bin full during the midday rush.
Requirements & Qualifications
-
Experience: 1+ year in a casual dining restaurant, sports bar, or country club setting.
-
The "Vibe": Outgoing, approachable, and high-energy. You should enjoy a social work environment and be able to handle a "rush" with a smile.
-
Knowledge: Solid understanding of beer, wine, and standard cocktails (Transfusions, Margaritas, Gin & Tonics).
-
Reliability: Dependability is key—our members look forward to seeing their favorite staff on their regular visiting days.
-
Physicality: Ability to stay on your feet and move quickly between the bar and outdoor dining areas/patios.
