This role combines hands-on guest engagement with full operational responsibility for one of the most dynamic areas of the venue.

- Enjoy the unique atmosphere of a luxury beachfront destination, where elegance meets laid-back coastal charm.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead daily bar operations, ensuring the team delivers efficient, polished, and guest-focused service.

- Train, supervise, and motivate bartenders and barbacks, maintaining consistent service and presentation standards.
- Manage bar inventory, ordering, stock control, and supplier coordination to ensure availability of premium spirits and ingredients.
- Maintain cost control through accurate portioning, waste management, and reporting.
- Ensure compliance with hygiene, safety, and licensing standards at all times.
- Support event operations (beach parties, private dinners, VIP experiences) with bar setup and execution.
- Collaborate with restaurant leadership to align bar service with overall guest flow and operational goals.
- Prepare shift reports and updates for management, highlighting performance, challenges, and guest feedback.
Qualifications & Experience
- Minimum 3–5 years’ bar experience, with at least 1–2 years in a supervisory or leadership role.
- Proven ability to balance service leadership (guest-facing excellence) with operational control (systems, stock, reporting).
- Strong knowledge of cocktails, spirits, and bar operations in a luxury or high-volume environment.
- Fluent English is a must (spoken and written) for guest communication; additional languages are an advantage.
- Excellent leadership and team management skills, with a motivating, professional presence.
- Strong organizational and multitasking abilities in a fast-paced environment.
- Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and busy seasonal periods.
