Job description

In it's reimagining, the 407 room downtown hotel recalls a grand European home.

Seeking the silent hero: the individual who understands that behind every glass of cabernet or craft cocktail is the attention to detail that makes an experience truly memorable. Spotless glasses, fresh ingredients, and bottles at the ready don't happen by accident. A bar back efficiently stocks, cleans, and organizes the bar while communicating and working seamlessly with the bartenders.

Requested Tasks

• Eyes are always on the critical 6: ice, juice, syrups/mixers, spirits, glassware, bar top cleanliness
• Anticipate items to stock during shift - prior to running out
• Understand bar equipment and how to troubleshoot problems during shift (Low CO2 in tap lines, dishwasher cycling, changing beer keys, etc.)
• Maintain bar cleanliness from all angles - the bar top where guests are seated, the bar back where spirits, glassware, supplies are located, waste bins, and floors
• Thorough knowledge of menu and beverage offerings and supporting knowledge of brand vision and standards of quality

Requested Capabilities

• Prior experience highly preferred
• A proactive and detailed demeanor
