Job description

About Mammoth Fieldhouse

Mammoth Fieldhouse is where Southern Illinois comes to get off the bench. Pure Putt. Flight Deck. Pickleball. Battle Bats. A scratch kitchen and a full bar that would draw a crowd on their own. Open play, leagues, tournaments, and private events, all night, every night.

Three rules run our buildings: No Sidelines, No Spectators. Elite Isn't Exclusive. Competition Is Community. Everyone plays, everyone belongs, and a good time beats a good score. We do not shout. We cheer. There is a big difference, and everybody who works here learns it fast.

About the Role

You bring the drinks to the game.

Food at Marion is ordered at a walk-up counter, so our servers are cocktail servers. You take the drinks to the bays, courts, cages, and Pure Putt across two buildings and three bars.

Your read on a group sets the night. You know when to sell the next round, when to suggest food from the counter, and when to let them play. Speed and personality earn the tips here, and you keep every dollar of them.

What You'll Own

The round

• Approach every group fast and take the first drink order before they tee off.
• Know the drink menu cold: beer, wine, cocktails, and zero proof. Recommend with confidence and sell the next round.
• Ring every order accurately in the POS and open and close tabs correctly.

Responsible service

• Check ID every time, for anyone who looks under 40.
• Know the signs of over service, slow it down early, and bring in a manager when it matters.

Your section

• Own your section across bays, courts, and cages, and keep it clean and cleared.
• Work with the bartenders, runners, and bussers so nothing waits on you.

Your First Year

• First 30 Days: You are certified in your section and can run it alone on a full Saturday.
• First Year: You are training new servers, and the shift lead path is open to you.

What You Bring

• Energy and a personality that people want more of.
• Speed and memory. Five orders, no notepad, no mistakes.
• Comfort walking up to strangers who are in the middle of a game.
• Cash handling and POS experience.
• Availability for nights, weekends, and holidays.

Certifications

Required

• 21 years of age or older, with a current Illinois BASSET certification.
• Food handler training through an ANSI accredited program, completed within 30 days of hire. Illinois requires it. Valid three years.

A plus if you already have it

• CPR and AED certification through the American Heart Association or American Red Cross.
• Allergen awareness training.

Preferred

• 1 or more years of serving or cocktail experience in a high volume venue.
• Sports bar, golf entertainment, or event venue background.
• Bilingual in English and Spanish.

Working Conditions

• Extended periods of standing, walking, and moving throughout the venue for a full shift.
• Must be able to lift up to 25 pounds.
• Carrying full trays through crowds and moving between floors and buildings all shift.
• Loud, high-energy environment with variable lighting.
• Nights, weekends, and holidays are our busiest shifts. Availability for them is required.

What We Offer

• $9.00 per hour plus tips. Tips are yours. No tip out.
• Accrued paid time off. Every hour you work earns time toward it, and you can use it for any reason. You do not have to tell us why.
• Christmas Club. A deferred payroll program. If you choose to participate, $15.00 comes out of each weekly check and is combined with a $5.00 contribution from ownership. Funds are disbursed only on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
• Paid training. Every teammate starts with in-person training, on the clock, before working a solo shift.
• A real path up. We fill trainer, shift lead, and manager roles from inside the building first.
• A part-time schedule built around two shifts: morning to mid, and mid to close.

Mammoth Fieldhouse Marion is an equal opportunity employer. We hire on merit, character, and the ability to make people feel like they belong here. Elite isn't exclusive. Everyone plays.
