Bartender

We are a small luxury boutique hotel in tropical Colombo, Sri Lanka looking for a skilled, sociable, and service-minded bartender to run our newly opened bar.

We prefer someone who speaks good English as well as at least one other European language.

You will be responsible for preparing drink orders for guests (cocktails, wines and beers - although our focus will be on cocktails).

You will need to set up and maintain the bar, tables, and tools such as icemaking machine.

It would be a bonus if you also have training as a barista, as we also serve coffee drinks.

You will have one or two local bartender assistants and we expect you to assist management in hiring, training, scheduling, and motivating and coaching those assistant employees.

We want you be a role model for them.

You will be also be responsible for ensuring that soiled glassware gets washed (by you or by the assistants). Remove soiled wares from bartop and tables and place in designated area.

Anticipate and communicate replenishment needs. Process all payment methods. Count bank at end of shift, complete designated cashier reports, resolve any discrepancies, drop off receipts, and secure bank.

Secure liquors, beers, wines, coolers, cabinets, and storage areas. Complete closing duties.
