The facility is closed on all major holidays, ensuring that employees have time off on these days. The bartender position requires knowledge of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage service. The bartender is responsible for assisting the Bar Captain/Lead with the proper and timely setup, execution, and teardown of all bar service.

Each employee needs to manage and account for incoming cash and hosted drinks accurately to ensure correct billing for clients and proper tips for staff.
