This job opening is for a seasonal, part-time Pool Bar/Restaurant Bartender at the Renaissance Austin Hotel. The role is positioned within the Food and Beverage & Culinary category and entails a non-management position focused on delivering exceptional guest service through bartending. The bartender's responsibilities extend beyond merely mixing drinks; it involves crafting an engaging and hospitable atmosphere where guests feel valued and catered to. Successful bartenders at Renaissance Austin are not only experts in beverage preparation but are also attuned to the latest trends and micro-local offerings, ensuring that the bar remains a dynamic and inviting space. The position demands a proactive approach in anticipating guests' evolving preferences and meeting needs effectively. Bartenders are critical in maintaining the flawless operation and appearance of the bar, handling transactions accurately, and providing relevant information to enrich the guest experience.

The role requires standing, walking, and moving for extended periods, demonstrating physical endurance and the ability to lift, carry, or push objects weighing up to 25 pounds. Attention to detail is paramount—from the quality of drinks served to the professional presentation and adherence to company policies aimed at creating a safe, confidential, and respectful workplace. The ideal candidate should be passionate about guest service, possess an eye for detail, and be ready to engage hands-on with their work environment.

Candidates should have a minimum of a high school diploma or GED equivalent, along with at least one year of related work experience in bartending or service-oriented roles. There is no supervisory component expected at this level. Although no specific licenses or certifications are required, familiarity with beverage service standards and compliance with company protocols is essential. This seasonal position offers an excellent opportunity for individuals eager to join a prestigious hotel brand, grow within the hospitality industry, and contribute to creating memorable guest experiences within the vibrant Austin community.
