About Nowhere:

Nowhere Bar is Celina’s newest go-to spot for great food, strong drinks, and a laid-back desert-dive vibe. We’re a high-volume bar and kitchen built on speed, consistency, and exceptional hospitality.

• Bar Maintenance: Keep the bar spotless, organized, and fully stocked throughout the shift, including washing glassware, utensils, and surfaces.
• Inventory & Restocking: Monitor beverage, garnish, and supply levels; restock proactively and communicate low-stock needs to management.
• Transaction Handling: Process cash and card payments accurately using Square POS and maintain balanced registers.
• Hybrid Service Support: Jump in where needed—run drinks, coordinate food with the kitchen, or assist servers during peak periods.
• Team Communication: Collaborate seamlessly with bartenders, barbacks, servers, and kitchen staff to keep service flowing.
• Compliance & Safety: Uphold all TABC regulations, responsible alcohol service practices, and food-safety standards.
• Training & Mentorship: Assist in onboarding and coaching new team members on recipes, speed techniques, and hospitality best practices.
• Professionalism Under Pressure: Stay calm, efficient, and positive—even when the bar is three-deep.Skills

• Excellent customer service skills with the ability to engage positively with patrons.
• Proficiency in cash handling and experience using cash registers or point-of-sale systems like Aloha POS.
• Familiarity with food safety practices in a restaurant or food service environment.
• Ability to work well under pressure while maintaining attention to detail.
• Previous experience in sales or food service is preferred but not required.
