Prep — Bar Mezzo

Part-Time or Full-Time | $15+/hr + Tips | St. Petersburg, FL

About Bar Mezzo

Bar Mezzo is a neighborhood cocktail bar with a higher bar. Our cocktail program holds its own against any bar in a major city — and behind every great drink is a great prep operation. The syrups, the batches, the garnishes, the infusions — none of it happens by accident. Every element is made intentionally, to spec, and to a standard we're proud of.

The Role

The Prep role is one of the most important positions in our operation. You are the foundation every bartender stands on when service begins. You'll work in the hours before service — generally 10am to 3pm — producing the batches, syrups, infusions, and garnishes that make Bar Mezzo's cocktail program possible.

Think of this role the way a Michelin kitchen thinks about its mise en place — everything in its place, made with precision, and executed the same way every single time. You won't be behind the bar during service, but every drink we pour has your fingerprints on it. That's not a small thing. It's the whole thing.

This position is seasonal during our Miracle pop up for the holiday season. Full time positions may be available after the season ends but not guaranteed.

What You'll Do

• Prepare batch cocktails to spec, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and proper labeling
• Make syrups, infusions, and house-made ingredients according to Bar Mezzo's recipes
• Prep garnishes to spec — cuts, portions, and presentation all matter
• Maintain cleanliness and sanitation of prep areas throughout your shift
• Monitor and restock inventory, flagging shortages to the Bar Lead or GM
• Leave the bar fully prepped, organized, and ready for the evening team

What We're Looking For

• Some prior kitchen or bar prep experience preferred — a background in a serious kitchen or bar program is a plus
• Exceptional attention to detail — you follow recipes exactly, measure precisely, and treat consistency as a non-negotiable
• Clean, organized, and intentional in how you work — your station reflects your standards
• Self-directed and reliable — you work independently in a quiet environment and take full ownership of your output
• Someone who understands that precision in prep is a form of craft, not just a task
• Must be 21 or older

Compensation & Details

• $15/hour
• Seasonal
• Daytime hours — generally 10am to 3pm
• Located in St. Petersburg, Florida

Why Bar Mezzo

You'll be a behind-the-scenes contributor to one of St. Pete's most respected cocktail programs — working with real recipes, real techniques, and a team that genuinely cares about what goes into every glass.
