? We're Looking for a Beverage Leader. Not Just a Bartender.
Can you build a cocktail program that people talk about?
The Maggiore Group is searching for an experienced Mixologist to lead the cocktail experience at one of our award-winning restaurants.
This is a unique opportunity where you will still work behind the bar AND shape the beverage identity of the restaurant brand, create unforgettable cocktail programs, help to develop a talented bar team, and have a direct impact on profitability, guest experience, and company growth. This is a salaried position but you will still be able to earn tips whenever you bartend – the best of both worlds!
If you're equally passionate about creativity and operational excellence—and know that a great cocktail program is built with systems, training, consistency, and innovation—we want to meet you.

- Design innovative seasonal cocktail menus and signature beverage programs.
- Create recipes, specifications, and standardized operating procedures.
- Develop bar training manuals, checklists, and educational materials.

- Analyze and control beverage COGS, pricing, inventory, and pour costs.
- Establish purchasing standards, spirit selections, and par levels.
- Evaluate bar layouts and workflows to improve speed, efficiency, and guest experience.
- Ensure every beverage meets company standards for quality, presentation, and consistency.
- Work alongside Operations leadership to continuously improve beverage performance.
- Develop systems that reduce waste while elevating quality.
- Maintain the highest standards of sanitation, organization, and operational excellence.
- Deliver exceptional guest experiences each and every time you’re behind the bar
We're Looking For Someone Who...
- Lives and breathes hospitality.
- Has a passion for creating cocktails guests can't stop talking about.
- Understands the business behind the bar—not just the drinks.
- Can inspire, coach, and elevate bar teams.
- Thrives in a fast-paced, multi-unit environment.
