Bartender & ServerHello there, we are looking to fill a full-time position as one of Bartenders/ Servers at Gather!
We are a small Cafe & Bar that specializes in Costa Rican Food and Local Coffee. We are a small operation, so the position takes on many roles, but we promise it is fun! Hours are very flexible and can range anywhere from 30-40 if you'd like.
Previous experience on Coffee would be useful as we make quite a bit lattes too!
Shifts are usually 2pm-9/10pm. May include serving of staffing is short.
Cocktail knowledge is super helpful, we do a lot in a small space, but happy to train the right person.
Tips are good, free a coffee and drink every shift, half off food. Consistent hours and good coverage if you can't work. We often switch from serving and bartending depending on who wants to do what, either job has its challenges.
We've had some of the same staff members for 2-4yrs as a small operation, we think that says a lot about us. We recently welcomed a baby and are looking for someone with experience that wants to work with some great people.
