Job Description
Bardenay Restaurant and Distillery stands proudly as the very first combination of its kind in the nation, blending a unique dining experience with a renowned distillery presence. Established on principles that emphasize quality and freshness, Bardenay is not just about serving food and beverages; it is about delivering an extraordinary experience to each guest who walks through its doors. The restaurant is widely recognized for its commitment to sourcing top-of-the-line spirits and outstanding ingredients that contribute to its fresh, innovative menu offerings. This dedication to quality extends into providing an inviting atmosphere where team collaboration and mutual respect are paramount.
As a 100% employee-owned company, Bardenay offers a distinct advantage where every team member has a vested interest in the establishment's success. This ownership model fosters a deep sense of pride, alignment, and motivation among employees, ensuring that their ideas, opinions, and contributions are valued and impactful. The team environment encourages employees to succeed collectively, making Bardenay not just a place of work but a thriving community of hospitality professionals. Employees receive exceptional perks including dental and vision insurance starting from the first day, the chance to enjoy meals at half price during shifts, and health insurance after one year of employment for those averaging over 30 hours weekly. Furthermore, the restaurant is closed on major holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the Fourth of July, providing well-deserved time off for its staff. Those invested in the company can earn annual shares, amplifying the sense of shared success.
The Bartender role at Bardenay is central to creating an enjoyable and memorable experience for all guests. Bartenders serve as key ambassadors of the brand, combining expert knowledge of beverages with vibrant interpersonal skills to engage with visitors warmly and professionally. The position involves not only mixing and serving drinks to guests and servers in a timely, precise manner but also maintaining a welcoming and attentive presence. Bartenders utilize their comprehensive understanding of food and beverage selections, including the distillery's unique offerings, to guide and enhance the guest experience. The role demands vigilance in checking identification for legal compliance with alcohol sales and managing cash handling procedures accurately. Beyond drink preparation, bartenders are responsible for maintaining an organized and clean workspace, ensuring that all necessary tools and supplies are well-stocked and ready. This role is ideal for individuals who are passionate about hospitality, detail-oriented, and thrive in a team-oriented setting that celebrates shared achievements.
