The Beacon Pizza Bar is currently expanding its team by offering two pivotal roles: Kitchen Team Member and Bartender/Server Hybrid. This opportunity is perfect for individuals looking for flexible work hours and a chance to contribute to a friendly and efficient dining experience.

The Kitchen Team Member position requires individuals who are willing to work nights, weekends, and adjust their schedules according to the business needs. This role involves preparing ingredients such as chopping, slicing, and dicing, as well as using kitchen equipment safely including meat slicers and dishwashers. Candidates will assist ownership with various tasks and maintain high standards for food safety, cleanliness, and overall kitchen organization. Although prior kitchen experience is preferred, candidates with a strong work ethic and foundational knife handling skills will be trained to succeed in this hands-on role. The position necessitates physical stamina, including the ability to safely lift between 50 and 100 pounds, and punctuality supported by reliable transportation. The team member will also be responsible for preparing appetizers, salads, grinders, desserts, and completing end-of-shift cleaning duties to ensure the kitchen remains clean and orderly.

The Bartender/Server Hybrid role is designed for those who have some bartending or serving background, whether current or past, but it also welcomes newcomers eager to learn. This position is ideal for individuals seeking extra income with flexible working hours. Bartenders at The Beacon Pizza Bar serve guests both at the bar and in the dining room, preparing cocktails according to specified recipes and providing excellent customer service in a friendly and respectful manner. Responsibilities include answering phones promptly, accurately taking orders, maintaining cleanliness of the bar and dining area, and efficiently managing table turnovers. Proficiency in operating a point of sale system and reconciling the cash drawer at the end of shifts is also required. Similar to the kitchen role, bartenders must be physically capable of safely lifting 50 to 100 pounds and have reliable transportation to ensure timely arrival for shifts. Both positions demand adherence to the management's directives and a positive, responsible attitude.

For candidates interested in either role, The Beacon Pizza Bar offers a competitive starting wage of $17.00 per hour, with compensation and hours varying depending on the position. Employment at The Beacon Pizza Bar requires candidates to be at least 18 years old and to have authorization to work in the United States. A background check is also part of the hiring process. While no relocation assistance is offered, the position is based on-site in Beacon Falls, CT, under a fully in-person work model. The management team emphasizes minimizing cell phone usage during work hours to maintain focus and professionalism throughout shifts. The company values reliability, strong work ethic, and a commitment to quality service and cleanliness. If you’re looking for a flexible, rewarding position in a lively restaurant environment with an engaged team and leadership, The Beacon Pizza Bar could be the ideal workplace for you.
