Description
POSITION SUMMARY
Our jobs aren’t just about mixing drinks. Instead, we want to build an experience that is memorable and unique. Our bartenders have the basics down, but are constantly on the look-out for new trends, micro-local offerings, and guests’ evolving needs. They are not just a beverage enthusiast, but also the host of the space. Their role goes beyond the bar itself to take ownership of guest service more broadly and do what needs to be done. Bartenders will use their knowledge and expertise to make the bar look and function flawlessly. They will build relationships with others across the hotel and in the community, to anticipate and deliver on our guests’ needs. They should be passionate about the guest service experience, but also have an eye for detail – from the money that moves through their hands, to the information they provide to guests, to the quality of their drinks.
No matter what position you are in, there are a few things that are critical to success – creating a safe workplace, following company policies and procedures, protecting company assets, maintaining confidentiality, and ensuring your uniform and personal appearance are professional. Bartenders will be on their feet and moving around (stand, sit, or walk for an extended period of time) and taking a hands-on approach to their work (move, lift, carry, push, pull, and place objects weighing less than or equal to 25 pounds without assistance; reach overhead and below the knees, including bending, twisting, pulling, and stooping). Doing all these things well (and other reasonable job duties as requested) is critical for Bartenders – to get it right for our guests and our business each and every time.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATION
Education: High school diploma or G.E.D. equivalent.
Related Work Experience: At least 1 year of related work experience.
Supervisory Experience: No supervisory experience.
License or Certification: None
About this role
At The Ritz-Carlton's Atlanta location, this full-time bartender role centers on creating memorable guest experiences rather than simply pouring drinks. You'll be expected to stay current with beverage trends and local offerings while reading guests' evolving preferences, then translating that knowledge into thoughtfully crafted drinks and attentive hospitality. The position demands equal attention to the technical side—maintaining flawless bar operations, managing cash accurately, and ensuring quality in every detail—and the relational side, building connections across the hotel and community to anticipate what guests need before they ask.
The day-to-day work is physically active: you'll be on your feet for extended periods, moving between stations, lifting and carrying items up to 25 pounds, and reaching overhead or below knee level as the work requires. Beyond the bar itself, you'll take ownership of broader guest service, stepping in to handle whatever the moment calls for. Success hinges on attention to detail, a genuine passion for hospitality, and a commitment to safety, company policies, and professional presentation.
You'll need at least one year of bartending or related hospitality experience and a high school diploma or equivalent. No supervisory background is required. If you thrive in a fast-paced luxury environment where technical skill, guest intuition, and operational excellence matter equally, this role offers the chance to practice your craft at a recognized standard.
