Job Description
Boston's Restaurant and Sports Bar is a well-established franchise known for its unique blend of family-friendly dining and vibrant sports bar atmosphere. The franchisee operates independently from Boston Pizza Restaurants, LP, which means they have full control over their wage and benefit programs, allowing for flexibility tailored to each location's needs. Boston's is renowned for its handcrafted pizzas, scratch-made gourmet meals, craft cocktails, and a selection of local beers, positioning itself as America’s Sports Restaurant. It serves as a community hub where patrons gather not only to enjoy sports events on numerous screens but also to celebrate life’s special moments such as birthdays, family reunions, coworker happy hours, and fundraisers.
As a franchisee-run establishment, the work environment at Boston's combines the personalization of local ownership with the robust brand identity of a nationally recognized sports restaurant. This setting creates a dynamic workplace with opportunities to grow, learn, and excel in the hospitality industry. Employees become part of a team that values cooperation, communication, and a commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences.
The Bartender role at Boston's Restaurant and Sports Bar is integral to the guest experience, combining the art of mixology with vigilant service and responsible alcohol management. The primary responsibility is to produce quality, appealing, and consistent drinks while adhering to established Boston's Pizza Restaurants Franchise Standards. This position demands a balance of creativity and discipline to maintain both the integrity of beverages served and compliance with all licensing and safety regulations. The Bartender also plays a key role in managing the bar's stock levels, ensuring order and security of the bar area, and participating in the service of food items alongside drink preparation. This dual role enhances team synergy and efficiency within the restaurant.
Moreover, the Bartender is expected to maintain a high level of visibility in the dining area, engaging with guests to elevate their dining experience. This includes promptly addressing guest needs, offering genuine hospitality, and collaborating with management to resolve any issues that may arise. The job also involves business operations such as handling cash and credit card transactions securely, practicing responsible alcohol serving protocols, and sometimes facilitating take-out orders through phone or online platforms.
Training and mentoring new team members may also be part of the Bartender’s duties, emphasizing the importance of leadership within the restaurant team. Additionally, maintaining a professional appearance and following uniform standards are required to uphold the brand’s image.
The role demands a commitment to safety and sanitation practices aligned with local health department regulations, ensuring that cleanliness and food safety standards are rigorously maintained. This includes proper labeling, rotation, and storage of products as well as regular cleaning and maintenance of bar equipment.
