Job Description

The Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel is a prominent entertainment and hospitality establishment located in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico. Known for its vibrant atmosphere, delicious dining options, and exceptional service, the casino hotel attracts a wide range of guests looking to enjoy gaming, fine dining, and entertainment experiences. It operates as a full-service resort with several bars, restaurants, and a hotel, delivering a high level of customer satisfaction with attentive and professional staff. Being a Tribal enterprise, the casino values community involvement and provides employment opportunities with strong emphasis on customer service, cultural respect, and professionalism. Employment with Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel is full-time and offers competitive pay, along with opportunities for career development, especially for Tribal members.

The role being offered is that of a Bartender, a vital position within the high-paced bar outlets of the casino. The bartender is responsible for providing professional, friendly, and exceptional service to every guest, ensuring their experience is memorable and enjoyable. This is a demanding role requiring the ability to multitask, maintain composure in a busy environment, and adhere to all regulatory guidelines regarding alcohol service. The bartender prepares drinks with accurate portions and ingredients, operates the cash register, handles transactions, monitors alcohol consumption for guest safety, and maintains a well-stocked bar.

The job demands a strong commitment to the casino's core values which include treating co-workers with dignity and respect, dependability, honesty, acceptance of constructive criticism, and maintaining professionalism at all times. The bartender must also align with company culture by being prepared for scheduled shifts which include nights, weekends, and holidays. There is a preference for qualified Santa Ana Tribal members as this helps the organization support local community employment initiatives.

Throughout their daily duties, bartenders are expected to foster a welcoming atmosphere, communicate clearly with patrons, and handle conflict adeptly when necessary. The role also requires proficiency with modern technology including the use of smartphones for company applications, emails, and texts, often facilitated through a payroll deduction program. Additionally, the bartender needs to obtain and maintain several licenses and certifications including the New Mexico liquor server’s license, a Food Handlers card, and a Pueblo of Santa Ana Gaming and Regulatory Commission non-key license.

The physical demands of the role are significant given the nature of bartending. Employees stand for extended periods, handle heavy lifting (up to 100 pounds at times), and work within a fast-paced environment which requires physical endurance, agility, and focus. The working environment is controlled, clean, and non-smoking, contributing to a professional atmosphere. Essential mental functions focus on strong verbal and written communication abilities, conflict management skills, and multitasking competence.

This position is perfect for someone who thrives in dynamic environments, enjoys interacting with diverse clientele, and possesses a willingness to learn and grow within a team-oriented setting. Bartenders at Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel play a crucial role in enhancing the guest experience and supporting the establishment's reputation for excellent service. For those interested in a rewarding career in hospitality with a respected tribal casino, this opportunity offers the chance to develop professionally while contributing positively to the local community.
