Shift: Saturday, 9:00 PM through closing and completion of all closing duties
Position Summary
The Saturday Night DJ Bartender is responsible for providing fast, friendly, and responsible bar service during one of our busiest late-night shifts. This position requires a strong bartender who can handle a high-volume crowd, work efficiently with the DJ and other staff, maintain a clean and organized bar, and help ensure the tavern is properly closed and ready for the next business day.
Bartending & Guest Service
- Arrive on time and ready to work at 9:00 PM.
- Provide friendly, efficient service throughout the entire shift.
- Prepare beer, cocktails, shots, and other beverages accurately and quickly.

- Watch for spills, broken glass, unsafe behavior, or overly intoxicated guests and address concerns immediately.
- Communicate with security or management when assistance is needed.
- Help keep the bar and surrounding areas presentable throughout the night instead of waiting until closing.
Closing Responsibilities

- Close all guest tabs and properly account for payments.

- Clean up spills and ensure floors are left clean and safe.

- Complete the closing checklist before clocking out.
- Do not leave until your responsibilities are finished and you have been released by the closing manager/bartender in charge.
Expectations
Saturday DJ night requires teamwork and shared responsibility. Employees should not stand around waiting for someone else to complete closing work. When your primary duties are finished, assist coworkers with remaining tasks so the entire team can leave as efficiently as possible.
Personal phone use should be limited to emergencies or necessary work-related communication while on the clock. Socializing with friends or guests should never interfere with service, cleaning, safety, or closing responsibilities.
