This position is for a part-time Pool Bar/Restaurant Bartender at the Renaissance Austin Hotel. The role goes beyond just mixing drinks; it is about crafting an experience that is memorable and unique for every guest. Bartenders here are expected to have a solid foundation in beverage preparation but also to stay ahead by keeping up with new trends, micro-local offerings, and the evolving preferences of guests. They serve not only as beverage enthusiasts but also as the hosts of their spaces, taking ownership of guest service beyond the bar itself and stepping in to fulfill whatever needs arise during their shifts.

The role requires bartenders to leverage their knowledge and expertise to ensure that the bar operates smoothly and looks impeccable. They will build strong relationships with colleagues across the hotel and with the community, anticipating guest needs and delivering personalized service. Passion for the guest service experience is essential, along with acute attention to detail—whether it be managing financial transactions, providing accurate information, or delivering high-quality drinks.

Successful bartenders at the Renaissance Austin Hotel contribute to creating a safe and enjoyable workplace by adhering strictly to company policies and procedures. Protecting company assets, maintaining confidentiality, and upholding professional appearance and uniform standards are critical components of the job. Physical stamina is also important, as bartenders must be on their feet for extended periods, engaging in activities such as standing, sitting, walking, and lifting objects weighing up to 25 pounds without assistance. The role involves reaching overhead and below the knees, including bending, twisting, pulling, and stooping.

This position is seasonal and non-management, focusing on part-time commitments suitable for individuals seeking flexible schedules in a dynamic and guest-focused environment. It is ideal for individuals with at least one year of related work experience who have a high school diploma or GED. The thriving hospitality scene in Austin makes this an exciting opportunity to work in a bustling hotel environment where every day brings new challenges and rewarding interactions with guests and team members alike.
