Onsite Bartender

Reporting to the Onsite Event Manager and working closely with the rest of the onsite Contigo Catering event team, this role is similar to that of a bartender at a restaurant, but with a constantly changing environment. You’ll be the face of our beverage service at events. You’ll set up, manage, and serve the bar in a way that keeps guests happy, timelines on track, and service running smooth. This role is fast-paced, social, and ideal for someone with mixology chops and a people-first attitude. You report to the Onsite Event Manager and work alongside the event team to deliver best-in-class service.

Our office, kitchen, and warehouse are located in Southeast Austin at 3709 Promontory Point Drive, Suite B201, Austin Texas 78744, but this role works almost entirely on-site at our client events. As such, this role involves travel to and presence at various event spaces throughout and around Austin, particularly downtown, Westlake, and Dripping Springs. Reliable transportation is required. Occasionally, travel to event locations such as Marfa is required, and team support for transport is provided.

A successful candidate in this role embodies the following:

• Each and every one of our clients and their guests is satisfied. You provided exceptional service that they remark upon in the wake of the event. You represented Contigo Catering well, keeping it in mind with everything you do (attire, language, details, clean-up, etc.).
• You are a versatile team player, communicating and assisting proactively. You adapt to the changing environments and needs while contributing to team cohesion and ensuring the highest quality standards are maintained. The team enjoys being around you and you don’t hesitate to do the dirty work when it needs to be done.

• 1+ years of food experience (restaurant, hotel, catering, etc.). Catering experience is helpful, but not a dealbreaker
• Exceptional organization, communication, and interpersonal skills; a knack for keeping multiple tasks in mind and a track record of positive team experiences.
• Passion for good food and drink, events that inspire, and a volition to provide Texas style hospitality every step of the way.
• Ability to integrate into the culture of Contigo Catering, and be a steward for this company no matter where you are.
