Job description

Cart-Driver LoHi | Bartender

Cart-Driver is a restaurant built around wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, thoughtful wine, and genuine hospitality. The bar is central to that experience. Guests come here to be taken care of, and the bartender sets the tone for the entire room.

We're not looking for someone who just makes great drinks. We're looking for someone who understands that a great bar experience is about how people feel from the moment they sit down to the moment they leave.

What the Role Looks Like

You'll run a full-service bar, executing cocktails and wine service to a high and consistent standard. But the technical execution is only part of it. You'll read the room, anticipate needs, and create the kind of warm, unhurried experience that turns first-time guests into regulars. You'll work in close partnership with the FOH and BOH teams because great hospitality doesn't happen in silos.

Every member of our team has a voice in what we do. We welcome input on the cocktail menu, seasonal specials, and how we continue to grow the guest experience at Cart-Driver.

Who We're Looking For

Someone who leads with hospitality and backs it up with craft. A strong foundation in classic cocktails and genuine curiosity about wine. The ability to connect with guests authentically, not performatively. Composure and efficiency in a high-volume environment. Weekend availability required. Food handler and liquor service certifications (or willingness to obtain).

What We Offer

$30-40/hour total compensation via base pay plus an equal tip-share model split across all hourly FOH and BOH staff. Health insurance eligibility after 90 days. Profit sharing eligibility after 6 months. A team that takes hospitality as seriously as you do.
