Late Night Bartender

Our late night bartenders’ primary focus is managing both speed and hospitality in a high-paced enviornment. Our late night bartenders work in a separate pool from the rest of our services so income is directly related with crowd results and drink sales. All late night transactions automatically put on a 18% gratuity to contribute to the late night tip pool. We receive our DJ programming schedules monthly, so scheduling for the upcoming month will often be posted all at once.
