Join a growing taproom with a fun, community driven atmosphere.
Ruzzo's Retreat is looking for a Seasonal Patio Cocktail Server who wants to be part of more than just a typical serving job. We are a small and growing company, and we are looking for someone who is excited to be part of a tight knit team, help create a great customer experience, and take pride in helping the taproom run smoothly.
This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys being part of a small team, taking ownership, and helping create a great experience for guests specifically in our outdoor beer garden and patio area.
We have 30 taps featuring beer, wine, and non alcoholic options, a full cocktail menu, a small food menu, and a huge outdoor beer garden. During the warmer months, we host large live music nights every Friday and Saturday, creating a high energy and fun environment with strong potential for busy shifts and increased tips.
What you'll do
- Provide friendly, efficient cocktail and beverage service exclusively in our outdoor patio and beer garden area
- Serve and deliver drinks to patio guests, including cocktails, beer, wine, and non alcoholic beverages
- Take drink and food orders from patio guests and communicate them accurately
- Help guests with drink and food menu questions
- Maintain the cleanliness and appearance of the patio area throughout your shift, including tables, chairs, and surrounding spaces
- Monitor and restock the patio service area as needed
- Operate the POS system accurately and efficiently
- Support small food service as needed for patio guests
- Help identify small issues early and keep the outdoor area running smoothly
- Support the team during private events, busy weekends, and summer live music nights
- Jump in where needed to help the overall success of the taproom
What we're looking for
- Serving or cocktail experience preferred
- Comfortable taking orders and delivering beverages in a fast paced, outdoor environment
- Friendly, outgoing, and great with customers
- Strong work ethic and willingness to be part of a team
- Organized, proactive, and attentive to the upkeep of the patio area
- Able to stay calm and efficient during busy shifts
- Comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions
- Willing to take ownership and help beyond the basic responsibilities of serving
- Excited to be part of a growing local brand
- Looking for part time shifts mainly working Fridays and Saturday evenings through the summer
Why this role is a great fit
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys an active, outdoor work environment and likes being part of a team where their work matters. Because we are a small company, this role offers more variety and more opportunity to contribute than a standard serving job. You will get the chance to build relationships with customers, be part of a unique brand, and play a real part in the growth of the taproom all while being the face of our beloved outdoor space.
