The Barback position at Home Team BBQ is a vital role working under the supervision of the Restaurant Manager and Bartender. This role is suited for individuals passionate about hospitality and eager to support the bar staff in delivering outstanding service. Barbacks assist with opening and closing duties, ensuring the bar is fully stocked with garnishes, straws, napkins, ice, liquor, wine, and beer.

Additionally, Barbacks perform minor repairs such as changing kegs and checking bar equipment to ensure proper functionality.

The position requires a combination of physical stamina—such as standing for the entire shift, carrying up to 45 pounds, and frequently reaching, bending, and stooping—and interpersonal skills to communicate effectively and courteously with customers and team members. Barbacks are expected to learn about the menu, including beers, wines, cocktails, and liquors. They assist with preparing drinks, managing orders, handling payments, and addressing customer inquiries or complaints, especially during busy periods.

The role demands strong problem-solving abilities and the capacity to remain calm and rational in potentially tense situations with coworkers or customers.
