About the Role:

As a Barback / Busser, you’re the backbone of the floor and bar team—making sure everything stays clean, stocked, and moving. Whether you’re clearing tables, restocking the bar, or helping polish glassware, you play a critical behind-the-scenes role that keeps service smooth and the team ready to crush it.

This is a great entry-level position for anyone looking to grow into serving, bartending, or kitchen roles. If you’re hardworking, fast on your feet, and love being part of a team, we’d love to have you.

Key Responsibilities:

As Barback:

What We’re Looking For:

• Reliable, hardworking, and team-oriented

• Ability to move quickly and stay organized in a fast-paced environment

• Willing to take direction and jump in wherever needed

• Friendly and respectful communication with both guests and team

• Must be 18+ to barback (due to alcohol handling), 16+ for bussing roles

• Evening and weekend availability is preferred

• Previous restaurant experience is a plus—but not required (we’ll train you)

What You’ll Get:

• Competitive hourly pay + tips (where applicable)

• Free shift meals

• Employee discounts at both locations

• Flexible scheduling with room to grow

• Opportunity to move into server, bartender, or kitchen roles

• A team that feels more like a crew—supportive, fast-moving, and fun
