What you’ll do - Floor lead for part-time bartenders on event and service nights - Run bar ops: open, shift, close - Inventory, ordering, and pars so we don’t run dry mid-event - Cash handling and Toast POS (primary). Square is used for venue ticket sales; Square integration is in progress — nice-to-have familiarity, not the core of the job - Keep the bar compliant (age checks, pour standards, TIPS / alcohol service rules) - Coordinate with door, kitchen, and events so the room runs clean Pay $18–20/hour, depending on experience, plus a bar-sales override: 1% of bar sales on a normal night, 1.5% when bar sales clear a strong-night threshold (exact threshold set at hire). What we’re looking for - Real bar management or lead bartender experience - TIPS or equivalent preferred (or willingness to get it before you manage) - Event-night availability — evenings and weekends are the job - Comfortable coaching a small team and owning the floor - 21+ and able to work in The Grove, St. Louis How to apply Apply on Indeed.
