As a Barback, you help set the standards by which our restaurant is judged in your personal appearance, your disposition, and your attitude towards the guest.

Your working relationship with the entire staff is vital to the operation of the restaurant. You must be able to anticipate guest needs, as well as communicate those needs to your service staff. Many times, you will be asked to take care of the problem yourself. A good Barback needs to have a positive attitude at all times and be able to maintain that attitude in any situation.
