About The Position

At Boxcar, our product is a good time. For us, that means cold drinks, exciting games, great pizza, and even better people. Boxcar has four locations across North Carolina. We’re not a chain. We value personality. What ties each spot together is a team that cares deeply about making each guest’s night a great one and looking out for one another. Our vibe is eclectic, sometimes eccentric, but always welcoming. Our customers are a mix of pinball regulars, after-work crews, party-goers, competitive skee-ballers, and folks who just want a smooth drink in a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Our bartenders set the tone. We’re looking for someone who can keep up with a packed bar, make great drinks, and actually enjoy doing it. Experience matters. Personality matters more. If that sounds like you, keep reading!

Responsibilities

Host the party. Engage guests, answer questions, and ensure everyone is having a great time. You are the face of Boxcar.
Know the menu cold. Craft beer, cocktails, shots, non-alcoholic options. Be ready to recommend, not just take orders.
Bring the fun. We host events and theme nights. We expect you to participate, dress up when the theme calls for it, and add to the ambiance.
