Job Description

Cheba Hut is a distinctive and dynamic restaurant brand that has been serving Tempe, Arizona since 1998. What started as a modest vision to craft delicious, stoner-approved toasted subs and munchies has grown into a thriving establishment that values individuality, creativity, and community. Cheba Hut's culture is built around providing a laid-back and relaxed environment where both employees and customers can escape the everyday grind. This company prides itself on being authentic and genuine, creating a workplace that is not only friendly and fun but fosters growth and creativity without the restrictions of scripts, uniforms, or excessive rules.

At Cheba Hut, the focus is on real people making real food for other real people. The atmosphere is casual yet professional, with a strong emphasis on taking pride in one's work, embracing diversity, and fostering a supportive community where everyone is welcome. This makes Cheba Hut an appealing destination for those who desire a job experience that is fresh, empowering, and uniquely enjoyable.

The position of Bartender at Cheba Hut offers an exciting opportunity to be part of this vibrant team. This role is responsible for managing daily bartending duties along with tasks related to the line, lobby, and patio areas. The bartender works closely with management including the MOD (Manager on Duty), AGM (Assistant General Manager), and GM (General Manager) to ensure that all responsibilities meet the high standards expected by the company. Bartenders are expected to strictly uphold all liquor laws to protect the establishment’s liquor license, ensure customer safety by enforcing the company’s drinking policies, and foster a welcoming and comfortable environment for patrons.

This role is designed for someone who enjoys multitasking and thrives in a lively setting. Core duties include serving drinks, managing inventory deliveries, maintaining cleanliness, and actively promoting specials. The bartender also plays a pivotal role in customer relations, from greeting and serving guests to intervening responsibly if someone has reached their limit, offering water, food, or arranging alternative transportation if necessary. This contributes to creating a safe and enjoyable bar atmosphere.

Cheba Hut offers a competitive pay range of $12.14 to $25.25 per hour, including tips, and employees typically work 30 or more hours per week as regular, variable-hour staff. The working conditions require the ability to work evenings, weekends, and late nights until 2 AM, especially on weekends. This role demands physical stamina to stand and move for long periods and the capacity to handle diverse tasks ranging from customer service to logistical responsibilities like inventory management.

Employees at Cheba Hut benefit from an impressive suite of perks including medical, dental, and vision insurance, accident and disability coverage, virtual healthcare options, life insurance, and a 401k plan with company match. Additional benefits include free Cheba Hut merchandise, complimentary meals and bar drinks, and access to free concert tickets, which underscore the company’s commitment to offering an inclusive and rewarding employment experience.

In summary, the Cheba Hut Bartender role is ideal for individuals who value a work environment where they can be themselves, grow professionally, and contribute to a unique dining experience. The position involves both customer-facing responsibilities and behind-the-scenes work to ensure the bar and the entire restaurant operate smoothly and safely. With a strong culture of inclusivity and respect, Cheba Hut provides a refreshing alternative for job seekers looking for a supportive and engaging hospitality role.
