We’re seeking friendly, polished bartenders to join our private Events team.

Founded in 2020, Events by Olive + Oak is the events and private dining arm of the O+O Hospitality Group. Our vision is to service events with a restaurant touch, offering uniquely crafted food and beverage menus for each client’s needs while providing unparalleled hospitality throughout.

Given the nature of the events world, applicants should be comfortable with menus that change regularly, variation in venue set-up, and accommodating unique beverage requests from hosts and guests. Flexibility, professionalism, and a positive attitude are key.

Daytime and nighttime hours are both available, and we ideally prefer our team members to work a mixture of both. Weekend availability is strongly preferred for this position. However, we do accommodate student schedules.

• Provide exceptional hospitality and attentive beverage service at all times
• Possess comprehensive knowledge of event beverage menus, specialty cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic offerings
• Prepare cocktails, pour beer and wine, and execute beverage service accurately and efficiently
• Communicate inventory needs, guest requests, or service concerns to Event Management
• Maintain a clean, organized, and guest-ready bar throughout service
• Assist fellow team members when needed to support smooth event execution
• Follow responsible alcohol service standards and uphold all company and legal alcohol service requirements
• Perform light side-work duties, breakdown, and bar clean-up after service

Scheduling

• Flexible schedules with weekday, weekend, and evening availability needed, especially during peak entertaining season.
• Both full-time and part-time positions are available.

• Competitive hourly and tipped compensation.
• Paid-time-off, 401(k), and Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance available to full-time employees.
• Opportunities for growth and cross-training within the broader O+O Hospitality Group.
• A welcoming, team-oriented environment focused on professional development and shared success.
