Bartender Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• This is a high-energy restaurant where the pace is constant, the room stays lively, and the floor never really slows down.
• You’ll spend your shifts front and center — moving with confidence through a busy dining room, connecting with guests, and staying locked into the rhythm of service — in a hands-on role that values presence, polish, and a strong commitment to cleanliness, safety, and hospitality standards.
• We’re committed to providing reasonable accommodations to support individuals in performing the essential functions of the role.

Nice To Haves

• You love being behind the bar and in the middle of the action
• You know how to read a room and connect with people fast
• You care about the details — the pour, the glass, the moment
• You stay cool under pressure and move with confidence
• You believe great bartending is part skill, part hospitality, part instinct
• You thrive in loud, busy, high-energy environments

Responsibilities

• Own the bar experience — setting the tone, building the vibe, and guiding guests from first hello to final goodbye
• Balance craft, speed, and personality with ease, even when the bar is packed and the energy is high
• Build real rapport with guests, making the bar feel personal, welcoming, and alive
• Execute service with precision — using the POS accurately, following steps of service, and ensuring proper glassware, setup, and presentation
• Know the menu inside and out — food, beer, wine, cocktails — and stay curious about learning more
• Keep the bar clean, organized, and service-ready; execute opening, closing, and restocking with purpose; support all service channels; communicate guest feedback; serve alcohol responsibly; jump in where needed; and show up sharp and professional for nights, weekends, and holidays

Benefits

• Competitive hourly pay & pooled tips
• Dining discounts across all Umami Riot locations
• Growth that’s real (not just talked about)
• A team culture rooted in respect, creativity, and heart
