Job Description

About the Role: We're seeking an experienced, driven bartender to lead operations for our mobile bar service. This is more than a bartending position—it's an opportunity to grow into a management role and become an integral part of our business. The right person will help us continue to grow while building their own career path within the company.

About Our Business: Alco-Haul Mobile Bar is an event-based business serving approximately 55+ events annually.

• Flexibility for occasional weekday corporate events
• Off-season: Opportunities for paid administrative/management work
• Start date: February (training period)

Compensation:

• Event bartending: Starting at $20/hour + gratuities
• This is a W-2 position

This role is ideal for someone seeking flexibility, leadership opportunities, and growth potential rather than guaranteed full-time hours. Event gratuities supplement hourly pay, though event tips differ significantly from high-volume bar environments.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Lead bartender for all events
• Occasional shopping for supplies, pick up and delivery services
• Event supply pickup and drop off 
• Cleaning and organization of all supplies
• Setup, breakdown, and equipment management
• Staff recruitment, training, and scheduling according to company standards
• Ensure all services meet company standards
• Protect and maintain company property and equipment
• Maintain clean, organized, efficient operations at all events

Growth Opportunities (Hourly Increase) - Management Advancement Includes:

• Client consultation and event planning
• Liquor ordering and inventory management
• Menu creation and development
• Social media content creation
• Event quoting, contracting, and invoicing
• Networking and business development (attending events to build relationships)
• Internal event planning
• Off-season business development to grow year-round revenue

Required Qualifications:

• Previous leadership or management experience
• Ability to lift 30+ lbs. regularly
• Strong organizational skills
• Reliable, hardworking, detail-oriented
• Weekend availability throughout peak season
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
• Excellent customer service and going above and beyond attitude
• Professional demeanor
• Excellent with time management and shows up early for events

Preferred Qualifications:

• Banquet/special event bartending experience strongly preferred
• Understanding that special events require different skills, pace, and service style than traditional bar work
• Experience with mobile or off-premise catering operations

What We're Looking For: We need someone who is protective of our business, interested in long-term growth, respectful of company property, efficient, clean, and genuinely eager to help Alco-Haul Mobile Bar thrive. You should be someone who values quality over quantity , takes pride in excellent service , and sees the bigger picture beyond just pouring drinks. This is an opportunity for the right person to build a career and grow with us, not just fill a position.

Not the Right Fit If: You're accustomed to high-volume bar tip earnings or need guaranteed full-time hours. Our event-based model offers flexibility and growth, but income varies with event volume.

To Apply: Submit your cover letter letting us know why you would be a good fit as well as your resume to info@alcohaulbar.com
