Bartender (H09)

Role Purpose

After a big meeting far away from home, or a long wait for a delayed flight, is there anyone more welcoming than a smiling bartender? As the friendly face of our hotel bars, you'll also be a helpful host, a local expert, and a proud brand ambassador. Whether you're preparing drinks exactly as our guests want or serving them delicious food, you'll be devoted to creating relaxing, memorable experiences.

• Creating a warm and welcome to everyone and setting the tone for each guest's experience.

• Prepare and serve drinks to high standards, and highlight promotions to guests.

• Work with your restaurant colleagues to offer a seamless food service.

• Set up your bar - stock up on all the supplies you'll need, manage your inventory and make sure all your equipment works.

• Change beer barrels.

• Look after your bar - keep it clean and tidy and make sure the alcohol is always secure.

• Handle cash and credit transactions.

• Look smart - wear your uniform with pride.

• Be ready to jump into other ad-hoc duties when your colleagues need your help.

• Always follow safety procedures.
