Position Overview

The Bartender/Server at Aerlume is responsible for beverage production for restaurant and bar service, including set-up, maintenance, and bar operations. This role requires in-depth knowledge of food, beverage, and wine, along with the experience to execute exceptional service. All duties must be fulfilled while following Aerlume's steps of service and striving toward guest satisfaction, retention, and loyalty.

What We're Looking For

• Sales excellence – Keen salesmanship and task prioritization with strict focus on meeting and exceeding guest needs
• Operational efficiency – Ability to maintain an orderly workstation while accurately producing beverages and processing orders through our POS system
• Beverage expertise – Knowledge of beer, wine, and spirits, plus traditional and modern cocktail preparation
• Financial accuracy – Efficiency in cash handling and payment processing

Compensation

During the 2-week training period, you will get the applicable minimum wage for your location ($20.76). After training, the pay range is $20.76hr-$70/hr., which is calculated by a base amount per hour plus 15% commission on your individual gross sales (gross sales less comps), which is paid 100% to you and not shared with support staff, plus any voluntary tips or gratuities ("bumps") paid at the guests' discretion, which are also paid entirely to you. The average earnings including commissions and bumps are $55-70/hour; however, this rate is based on your gross sales and bumps, and as such may vary and is not guaranteed.

• In the unlikely event the base rate + commissions in a workweek do not meet or exceed the minimum wage, a bartender will be paid at least the location-specific minimum wage $20.76/hour
