Job Description

With over fifty years of experience, our establishment began as a single family-owned restaurant with a strong dedication to seafood and fostering a sense of coastal connection. Over the decades, we have expanded our footprint and now operate a family of over 500 restaurants, all committed to creating memorable dining experiences for our guests while contributing positively to the communities we serve. Our company culture is rooted in hospitality and community engagement, making us a vibrant and dynamic workplace dedicated to nurturing talent and encouraging growth. We take pride in our rich heritage and the lasting relationships we maintain with our customers and employees alike.

The role of Mixology Specialist at our company is an exciting opportunity for individuals passionate about customer service and the art of crafting beverages. As a Mixology Specialist, you will be the face of our bar area, welcoming guests with a warm smile and creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment they arrive. Your responsibilities will include preparing the bar area by setting up pour stations and organizing glassware, ensuring everything is pristine and ready for service. You will be expected to suggest drinks, appetizers, and desserts that complement the guest’s dining experience and personalize recommendations to enhance enjoyment. Crafting drinks accurately according to established recipes and presenting them with proper garnishes and glassware is central to this role.

This position requires attentiveness and accuracy in taking orders, entering them into the POS system, and regularly checking in with guests to ensure their satisfaction. A keen focus on maintaining high standards of food safety and cleanliness in the bar area is also essential. You will handle the presentation and processing of checks efficiently while expressing gratitude to guests and encouraging their return to create loyal customer relationships. We value flexibility and offer a competitive pay range of USD $16.90 to USD $25.00 per hour with weekly pay, supporting a work schedule that adapts to your lifestyle. Benefits include affordable medical, dental, and vision insurance options with premiums starting at less than $10 per week, access to life insurance, short-term disability, and voluntary benefits, and a 401(k) retirement savings plan with company matching after one year of employment. Additional perks include anniversary pay, discounted shift meals, and guest dining discounts, alongside opportunities for continuous training and career advancement. Joining our team means becoming part of a thriving family that values diversity, equal opportunity, and a supportive, welcoming work environment.
