Job Description

Applebee's is one of the largest casual dining concepts in the world, known for its vibrant community atmosphere and dedication to delivering memorable guest experiences. This well-established restaurant chain prides itself on creating connections within the neighborhood by bringing energy, excitement, and fun to the dining experience, all while upholding its 'Make it Right, Serve it Fast' promise. Serving craveable food and beverages, Applebee's caters to a diverse clientele ranging from friends enjoying a Ladies Night Out to families gathering for Sunday dinners. Every day presents a unique opportunity to contribute to authentic experiences that resonate with the local community, making Applebee's a cherished destination for casual dining.

As a Bartender at Applebee's, you will play a crucial role in delivering these enjoyable moments by mixing and serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks according to the brand’s specifications. While prior experience as a bartender or mixologist is preferred, it is not a mandatory requirement, making this an excellent opportunity for individuals eager to develop their skills in a popular, fast-paced restaurant environment. This position involves operating blenders, frozen drink machines, and other bar equipment, all while maintaining a clean and organized bar area. You will engage actively with guests, ensuring prompt and friendly service that aligns with Applebee's commitment to customer satisfaction. This role demands physical stamina, as bartenders stand throughout their shifts, frequently immerse their hands in water, and perform regular cleaning and maintenance tasks within the restaurant space.

Applebee's values an inclusive workplace, emphasizing equal opportunity and fair hiring practices compliant with all federal and local laws, including Ban the Box and Fair Chance Hiring guidelines. They encourage candidates to participate in open interviews held Monday through Thursday from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, providing a welcoming entry point into the hospitality industry. The physical demands of the role include the ability to remain stationary for extended periods, as well as the capability to lift and transport items up to 50 pounds, ensuring the bar operates smoothly during all shifts.
