Job Description

Bloomingdale's is a renowned and iconic department store that exemplifies fashion, style, and innovation. Established as a flagship brand of Macy's, Inc., Bloomingdale's has carved a distinctive niche in the retail industry by offering customers a rich and personalized shopping experience. The company prides itself on being aspirational yet approachable, making fashion fun and accessible to a broad and diverse clientele. Bloomingdale's mission is to inspire customers to embrace style as a creative energy source in their lives, elevating everyday moments through unique and thoughtful designs. As part of an esteemed group — including Macy's and Bluemercury — Bloomingdale's values diversity, collaboration, and the entrepreneurial spirit, creating an environment where every employee's voice is heard and leadership remains accessible.

The role being offered is that of a Bartender within a full-service restaurant environment operated by Bloomingdale's. This position is crucial to delivering caring hospitality by preparing and serving alcoholic beverages following company standards, as well as local, state, and federal regulations. The Bartender not only creates beverages but also serves as an educator and ambassador of the brand by showcasing a strong knowledge of wines, beers, and spirits, and providing excellent customer interaction. The job demands attention to detail and responsible alcohol service, including verifying age requirements and preventing intoxication. In addition to beverage preparation, bartenders must maintain cleanliness and organization of their workstations in alignment with health department guidelines.

Key responsibilities include delivering exceptional customer service by sampling and educating customers about available food and drink options, managing transactions via the point of sale (POS) system, and ensuring accurate accounting of all sales and cash flow. The position requires multitasking skills, clear communication with management on customer needs, and timely restocking and presentation of products to maintain high standards. This is a customer-driven role involving both day and evening shifts, as well as weekends and holidays, offering flexibility and the opportunity to work in a dynamic, fast-paced retail environment.

Candidates joining Bloomingdale's as bartenders will benefit from a competitive pay structure, including performance-based incentives and bonuses. The company supports its employees from day one with medical, dental, and vision benefits for eligible colleagues, as well as 401(k) retirement plan options. Additional perks include paid time off, flexible holiday scheduling, instant access to earned wages through PayActiv, and a variety of enhanced benefits such as pet, home, and auto insurance. Employees also enjoy discounts at Bloomingdale's and Macy's stores and have opportunities for professional growth within the company. The comprehensive benefit package and supportive work culture make Bloomingdale's an attractive employer for hospitality professionals seeking rewarding and stable employment.
