The Bartender role at Proper Hospitality involves preparing and serving a wide variety of beverages including cocktails, mixed drinks, beers, wines, and non-alcoholic options according to established recipes and quality standards. This position demands efficiency and attention to detail to ensure every drink is made accurately and presented with flair to meet the company's high standards of taste and appearance. Bartenders will maintain a clean, organized, and well-stocked bar area, including managing glassware, garnishes, and all necessary ingredients.
Guest engagement is a central part of the role, as bartenders create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere by responding promptly and courteously to guest needs.

Stock management is essential, as bartenders assist with inventory control by monitoring and replenishing liquor, mixers, garnishes, and other supplies, while adhering to secure storage and company policies.
Effective teamwork with other bartenders, servers, and kitchen staff ensures smooth operational flow throughout service hours.
