Job Description

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews is a leading full-service restaurant chain recognized across the United States for its distinctive atmosphere, delicious burgers, and commitment to exceptional guest experiences. Known for its laid-back, quirky vibe, Red Robin is more than just a burger restaurant—it is a vibrant community that values unbridled hospitality, fun, and connection. Founded with a mission to "Make it fresh. Make it fun. Make it memorable. And above all, make 'em smile," the company thrives on delivering more than just food; it offers guests a memorable experience that keeps them coming back. Red Robin's dedication to quality and customer satisfaction has made it a respected name in the casual dining industry.

As a part of the Front of House service team, Red Robin's bartenders play a crucial role in maintaining this memorable experience. The bartender position at Red Robin is designed for those who are confident, efficient, personable, and experts in the world of beverages. Bartenders here are tasked with delivering exceptional guest service by crafting drinks with precision and style while engaging with guests to enhance their dining experience. Unlike typical burger restaurants, Red Robin offers bartenders variable tip earnings on top of base pay, ensuring that excellent service and skill are rewarded.

This role requires individuals with a passion for hospitality and strong communication skills. Bartenders at Red Robin are not only beverage experts but also key team players who contribute to a lively and welcoming environment. Prior experience in bartending, bar backing, or serving is preferred, highlighting the importance of industry knowledge and customer interaction skills. Candidates must be 21 years or older to meet legal requirements for handling alcoholic beverages.

In addition to competitive compensation, Red Robin provides numerous benefits that make this position highly appealing. Flexible work schedules enable bartenders to balance work and personal life effectively. Employees enjoy generous food discounts of 50% for themselves and 25% for their family members, making dining at Red Robin both enjoyable and affordable. Referral bonuses reward team members who help grow the Red Robin family by introducing new talent. The company also offers excellent opportunities for career growth, with many managers having started as hourly team members themselves, illustrating Red Robin's commitment to developing its staff internally.

Moreover, Red Robin supports its team members' well-being with a comprehensive benefits package. Health insurance that includes medical, vision, and dental coverage is available to employees aged 18 and above. Additional plans such as accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity insurance provide extra security. For long-term financial planning, eligible employees can participate in a 401k retirement plan with company match up to 4% of pay. Paid time off accrues based on hours worked and tenure, offering time for rest and rejuvenation. All these benefits contribute to a supportive workplace where employees can thrive both professionally and personally.

Red Robin is an equal opportunity employer, embracing diversity and a sense of belonging. The company values both similarities and differences, ensuring that everyone feels welcome. Applications for the bartender position are accepted continuously, reflecting Red Robin's ongoing commitment to building a passionate and dynamic team. If you are looking to grow your career in an energetic, fun, and supportive environment, joining Red Robin as a bartender offers a rewarding opportunity to be part of something special. Be ready to serve up smiles and create unforgettable moments for guests each day while advancing your skills in a well-established restaurant brand.
