Job Description

MetroLagoons is a premier entertainment and water park destination located in the United States, known for its vibrant attractions, serene lagoon settings, and family-friendly environment. Renowned for offering a perfect blend of thrilling rides, refreshing water features, and diverse dining options, MetroLagoons attracts visitors from all age groups and backgrounds. Serving as a cornerstone of leisure and recreation, the company prides itself on maintaining high standards of guest services and safety, ensuring every patron enjoys an unforgettable experience. Operating primarily in the spring and summer seasons, MetroLagoons is a dynamic workplace that values flexibility, enthusiasm, and a passion for hospitality.

The role of bartender at MetroLagoons is crucial in ensuring that guests feel welcomed and well-cared for during their visit. This seasonal position offers flexible scheduling across all shifts, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekdays, and weekends, allowing team members to find hours that complement their lifestyle. Bartenders at MetroLagoons are responsible for mixing and serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages with a high level of professionalism, cleanliness, and attentiveness. They create both classic and innovative drinks that exceed customer expectations, fostering guest loyalty and enhancing the overall experience at the park.

This position demands an individual who can engage with guests warmly, take orders accurately, and recommend drinks based on customer preferences. Working in a fast-paced and exciting outdoor environment, this role includes responsibilities such as checking IDs to comply with legal drinking age requirements, monitoring alcohol consumption to adhere to company and state guidelines, restocking bar inventory, and maintaining sanitary conditions according to food and beverage regulations. Bartenders contribute significantly to the ambiance and success of the venue by planning and presenting the bar menu in an appealing and efficient manner.

The company also values individuals who can multitask effectively and remain focused during busy periods. Experience with POS systems, such as Focus, is advantageous but not mandatory. The role provides a unique chance to work outdoors, sometimes in varying weather conditions, and requires physical stamina for lifting and moving supplies. MetroLagoons offers certification in Food & Beverage Safety for those who need it, supporting professional development and compliance with safety standards.

Joining MetroLagoons means becoming part of a diverse and inclusive team dedicated to providing top-notch service in a fun and supportive work atmosphere. With employee discounts on park entry, food and beverage, and merchandise, working here extends beyond typical employment, offering a community experience.
