Job Description
Uchi Charlotte is an upcoming premier Japanese dining establishment set to open in Plaza Midwood's Commonwealth development, bringing an exciting new culinary experience to Charlotte, North Carolina in early April 2026. Uchi, which means 'house' in Japanese, was founded by the acclaimed James Beard Award-winning Chef Tyson Cole. Known for its innovative approach, Uchi offers a delicate balance of elevated, non-traditional Japanese cuisine paired with impeccable service. The restaurant features a curated menu including signature tastings, sushi, and a seasonal omakase, creating an experience that is both unexpected and unforgettable for its guests.
As part of the Hai Hospitality group, Uchi Charlotte is joining a family of multi-concept, award-winning restaurants with locations in Austin, Houston, Dallas, Denver, Miami, Los Angeles, and Scottsdale. Hai Hospitality is known for fostering an exciting atmosphere that values creativity, craftsmanship, and hospitality. Employees at Uchi enjoy working in a supportive environment that promotes growth, inclusivity, and a strong sense of team pride.
The Bartender position at Uchi Charlotte is a critical role in the restaurant’s front-of-house team, designed for individuals passionate about delivering exceptional customer experiences while showcasing their expertise in mixology and beverage service. Bartenders at Uchi are expected to create artistically crafted cocktails that complement the innovative Japanese menu and pair beautifully with the restaurant’s drink selections. This role requires a candidate who can engage guests with professionalism and enthusiasm while maintaining the high standards of service and presentation synonymous with the Uchi brand.
Bartenders will undergo a comprehensive orientation starting in early March 2026, in preparation for the grand opening.

Bartenders will also be responsible for delivering drink orders accurately and efficiently, restocking supplies, and ensuring that all safety guidelines and standards are met.
Uchi Charlotte offers a dynamic work experience where employees can grow their careers, supported by robust employee benefits including medical, dental, vision, and accident insurance options, as well as a matched 401k savings plan. The company emphasizes internal promotions and provides an Employee Assistance Program focused on mental health services, ensuring a well-rounded and supportive workplace for all team members. Employees also enjoy dining discounts and the opportunity to be part of a celebrated and growing hospitality group dedicated to excellence and innovation in the restaurant industry.
