Working closely with your team, you'll support timely, accurate, and engaging beverage service by cleaning/organizing bar stations, monitoring product levels, and restocking supplies before we run out. You'll properly label products, help prevent waste, and help in other areas as needed while following all alcohol-service, age-verification, food-safety, cash-control, and loss-prevention requirements.
