Expo Bartender

We are a locally owned business in the Kuna, ID, area. We have been in business since 1998 and were previously called El Gallo Giro. In 2015, we changed the name to represent the man who made this restaurant a staple, Enrique. Enrique is a hands-on owner who is fearless in helping and guiding his team. Our customers have high expectations when they enter, and our mission is to meet or exceed them.

We have a 360-degree bar and guest seating. We are looking for an enthusiastic bar expo to provide excellent guest drinks. This is a bar expo position only, not a bartender position.

The Bar Expo is a critical link between the bar and the rest of the restaurant, responsible for efficiently and accurately assembling alcoholic beverages for servers for guest orders. This role operates in a high-volume, fast-paced, and high-pressure environment, requiring exceptional organizational skills, speed, accuracy, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. The Bar Expo ensures that drinks are prepared correctly, garnishes are added, and orders are dispatched promptly to maintain smooth service flow throughout the restaurant. Compensation includes tips.

Training is 10 days. Training wage will be based on experience.
