This full-time role offers a competitive hourly wage of $18 plus gratuities, reflecting the importance of the position within the club’s operations. Reporting directly to the Food & Beverage Director and the Front of House Manager, the Driving Range Bartender is expected to embody the club's member-first philosophy, delivering warm, polished, and professional service in a unique outdoor bar setting. The position requires a dependable and self-motivated individual who can confidently manage the bar independently while upholding the club’s high standards for service and professionalism.
The Driving Range Bartender is responsible for managing all bar operations, including the preparation and serving of cocktails, beer, and wine with precision and consistency. Given the outdoor environment of the driving range bar, the bartender must maintain a clean, organized, and inviting space throughout their shift, ensuring that the environment remains welcoming and comfortable for all members and guests. A strong knowledge of bar offerings, particularly beer, enhances the service quality, enabling the bartender to provide informed recommendations and engage members in friendly, meaningful interactions.
This role demands a high level of accountability, especially concerning opening and closing procedures. The bartender must execute setup and stocking at the start of shifts and ensure all closing duties, such as cleaning and securing the bar, are completed meticulously. Attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and consistency in maintaining sanitation and safety standards are essential to the role's success. The driving range bartender must also comply fully with California alcohol service laws and the club's policies to guarantee a safe and responsible service environment.
Beyond technical skills, the ideal candidate embodies a warm and approachable demeanor, fostering rapport with members and anticipating their needs in a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. The ability to work efficiently both independently and as part of a supportive team is critical. Physical stamina is also important, including the ability to lift up to 30 pounds and stand for extended periods, as the role requires active engagement throughout shifts that often include weekends, evenings, and holidays.
