Job description

Dallas, United States | Posted on 09/28/2026

Barsella is a new upscale Italian restaurant and cocktail room on SMU Blvd, opening in December.

Projected Start Date: Mid November

Your shift starts as dinner service ends, the lounge crowd comes in. More focus on drinks than food, more personality than strict service. You take the whole room, not just a section, from 10pm to 2am, keeping drinks in front of people and the late-night menu moving.

The bar has a dedicated service well for you, so you're not building drinks or fighting for the bartender's attention. You lead the guests with our house cocktails and your favorites. Our service here is hands-off but attentive, you're not hovering or interrupting the table, you're reading it from across the room and offering the next round as glasses run out. Late-night guests want to be left alone and taken care of at the same time, and doing both at once is the actual skill.

11pm to 2am is our strongest block for cocktail service, and it's a different job than dinner service. It's louder, faster, and the tabs turn over more. Further, we run lean to help you make as much money as the work you put in.

What we actually care about:

you like people and you're good with a crowd. You can hold a full tray through a packed room and keep the whole floor under your control. When something goes sideways, you fix it fast and professionally, because a guest who watches you handle a mistake walks out trusting you more, not less.

We're hiring for personality and respect. Training is run by a management team that worked the floor for years, and we genuinely want our people to succeed. Frequent tastings and training, so you can maximize your tabs and be confident in the menu.

The facts of the job:

• Wage // 2.13 an hour plus tips, shared tip pool between only lounge servers (1-3 people in pool)
  
• Floor // The full room, no dedicated sections. 70 seats.
  
• Projected base PPA // $60
  

Promises to you:

• Consistent scheduling, we're focused on a reliable, consistent schedule. Respectful of availability and requested time off.
  
• Family meals during pre-shift, and closing duties.
