Job Description

Maggiano's Little Italy, a distinguished name in the casual dining category, is part of the esteemed Brinker International family. This organization revolutionized casual dining by offering a warm, inviting alternative to both formal eateries and fast-food chains. Since its establishment in Chicago at the corner of Clark and Grand, Maggiano's has become synonymous with Italian-American culinary tradition and a welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of family gatherings and celebrations. At Maggiano's, the focus extends beyond exceptional food; it is about creating memorable experiences where guests feel at home and understood, embodying what they proudly call The Maggiano's Way. This approach combines quality dining with heartfelt hospitality, making every visit a special occasion. The company's commitment to community involvement amplifies this ethos, as evidenced by their support for various charitable initiatives such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the North Texas Food Bank, and internal assistance programs like the Brinker Family Fund to support employees in need.

Additionally, they support servers and cocktail servers by preparing drinks ordered on behalf of guests in the dining room and cocktail section, contributing to seamless, efficient service throughout the restaurant. This position demands more than technical skill with drinks; it requires an energetic, upbeat attitude and the ability to stay composed during the busyness of service, embodying the friendly, family-oriented spirit Maggiano's fosters. Bartenders participate actively in creating a convivial atmosphere where guests can celebrate special occasions, big or small, and enjoy the authentic Italian-American dining experience that Maggiano's is known for. Career growth is actively encouraged, with pathways leading to development opportunities, including global training roles and tuition assistance. The compensation is competitive, enhanced by comprehensive benefits that reward hard work and dedication. At Maggiano's, you’re not only joining a team but embracing a culture that values diversity, inclusion, and above all, the joy of working happy. Join Maggiano's Little Italy as a Bartender, and be part of a journey that celebrates family, friendship, and the love of good food and drink in a vibrant, historic setting.
