El42 is Hiring Server/Bartender

This opportunity is with a vibrant and well-established cantina located in Washington, known for its lively atmosphere, strong team culture, and loyal neighborhood following. The cantina delivers an engaging hospitality experience through a blend of flavors and a friendly environment that attracts both regular patrons and new visitors alike. The restaurant operates with a dedicated team that works cohesively to ensure every guest receives exceptional service, whether they are dining in the cozy indoor space or enjoying the bustling patio during the warmer months.

The position available is a true hybrid hospitality role, combining multiple facets of service. This means you will not only be serving and bartending but also hosting, bussing, running food, and providing support wherever the shift demands. This role requires versatility and a dynamic approach to restaurant work, ideal for those who thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy variety in their daily tasks. You will be engaging directly with customers, preparing and serving drinks, maintaining the flow of service, and collaborating closely with your teammates to keep the operation running smoothly.

The cantina offers a competitive wage aligned with Washington's minimum wage standards, starting at $17.13 per hour plus tips. The current team averages around $50 per hour when adding in tips, reflecting the establishment’s busy and profitable service dynamics. Employment here is part-time, ranging between 30-35 hours per week, with shifts scheduled across days, nights, and weekends. Flexibility is essential, as Saturday and Sunday availability is mandatory. The shifts vary between serving and bartending, providing opportunities to develop skills in both areas and grow your hospitality expertise.

The ideal candidate will be someone who moves with urgency, thrives under pressure, and genuinely enjoys being part of a cohesive team. You should be comfortable handling busy shifts without drama and be capable of delivering hospitality that feels authentic and welcoming. The role also encourages growth behind the bar and on the floor, so a willingness to learn and develop is crucial. While experience behind the bar is beneficial, the cantina prioritizes attitude, reliability, and work ethic over formal experience, making this an excellent opportunity for motivated individuals seeking to advance in the hospitality industry.

Successful candidates will be expected to have or obtain a valid MAST permit and Washington Food Worker Card as part of the regulatory requirements to work within the state’s food and beverage sector. Additionally, candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States.

This position promises great food, a fun and energetic work environment, and the chance to be part of a respected cantina with a strong community presence. As busy patio season approaches, you will be joining a team ready to deliver memorable dining experiences to an enthusiastic clientele. If you’re looking for a challenging yet rewarding hospitality role where no two days are the same, this cantina could be the perfect fit for you.
