The Role

Every position at Ridglea contributes to the member experience. In the Banquet Bartender role, you will help deliver the consistent, elevated hospitality that defines the Ridglea Experience.

• Working knowledge of beer, wine, spirits, standard drink recipes, garnishes, responsible alcohol service, accurate pouring, and basic beverage inventory control.
• Ability to read and execute Banquet Event Orders, follow recipes and service standards, and communicate clearly with members, guests, coworkers, and managers.
• Ability to stand and walk for extended periods; bend, reach, push, and pull; safely transport beverage supplies and portable bar equipment; and lift or carry up to 40 pounds.
• Flexibility to work variable event schedules, including early mornings, late evenings, weekends, holidays, and extended shifts when banquet needs require.

• Banquet, private-club , hotel, catering, wedding, fine-dining, or high-volume event bartending experience.
• Knowledge of wine service, classic cocktails, current beverage trends, and efficient service from portable or temporary event bars.
