Role Purpose

After a big meeting far away from home, or a long wait for a delayed flight, is there anyone more welcoming than a smiling bartender? As the friendly face of our hotel bars, you’ll also be a helpful host, a local expert, and a proud brand ambassador. Whether you’re preparing drinks exactly as our guests want or serving them delicious food, you’ll be devoted to creating relaxing, memorable experiences.

• Handle cash and credit transactions.
• Look smart – wear your uniform with pride. 
• Be ready to jump into other ad-hoc duties when your colleagues need your help.
