• Act as Manager on Duty (MOD) when the GM is not present

What We’re Looking For

• A strong understanding of modern cocktail techniques and cocktail culture

• A deep understanding of hospitality and guest experience

• Ability to lead both bar operations and service flow

• Confidence working behind the bar & on the floor

• Strong organizational and communication skills

• A calm and solutions-oriented presence during service

• Ability to translate creative beverage ideas into practical operational execution

• Strong leadership and team communication skills

• Comfortable working in a dual-bar concept (coffee & cocktails)
