About Quarter French

Quarter French is a neighborhood restaurant that blends French inspiration with Southern hospitality. We believe great restaurants are built by people who genuinely care about hospitality—not just service.

Our goal is heavily collaborative: to create memorable experiences through thoughtful food, exceptional beverages, warm hospitality, and attention to detail. Whether it's someone's first coffee of the morning or their anniversary dinner, every interaction matters.

We're building a team of professionals who take pride in what they do, enjoy working hard together, and want to be part of opening something special from day one.

Position Overview

At Quarter French, our bar is more than a place where drinks are made—it's an extension of our hospitality and one of the defining experiences of our restaurant.

We're looking for bartenders who see their craft as both an art and a profession. Individuals who are passionate about classic technique, thoughtful ingredients, and continuous learning, while understanding that the best cocktail is only as memorable as the experience surrounding it.

As a Bartender, you'll create exceptional cocktails, coffee beverages, and non-alcoholic drinks with precision and consistency while serving as both a host and guide for our guests. You'll help shape the atmosphere of the bar through genuine conversation, thoughtful recommendations, and attention to every detail.

We're looking for professionals who take pride in their craft, embrace creativity, value teamwork, and are excited to grow alongside Quarter French as we continue to evolve our beverage program.
