About Green Acres

Green Acres Food Truck Park is a fun outdoor venue right on the Greenbelt in Downtown Boise. We host rotating food trucks, live music every night, yard games and fun community events where people can eat, drink and enjoy being outside. Green Acres is kid-friendly, dog-friendly and a casual place to hang out for all ages. Green Acres was started in 2021 by wife and husband team, Anny & Sean Frampton. They are excited to make the 6th season of Green Acres the best one yet.

Job Description:

Green Acres is a unique business with many moving parts including aspects of operating an event venue, bar, ice cream & lemonade shop, food court and music venue all wrapped into one business.

We are looking for high-energy, fun, adaptable and responsible people to join our team to be a bartender in the Green Acres Bar. In addition, we are hiring one Day Lead and one Night Lead with expanded responsibilities.

The Green Acres Bar serves alcoholic beverages by the can or by draft as well as wine by the glass. Knowledge of cocktail mixology is not necessary for this position as only canned cocktails are served. A craft beer background, wine background or bartending experience is a huge plus (but not necessary).

Key Responsibilities:

Bartenders at Green Acres play an essential role in the overall guest experience. Responsibilities include:

• Serving beer (both draft and can), wine, and canned cocktails with speed and quality
• Operating a Point of Sale (POS) / cashier system
• Providing friendly, memorable customer service
• Restocking bar inventory and supplies
• Maintaining cleanliness (bar area, tables, trash, etc.)
• Contributing to park setup and upkeep:
• Setting up yard games
• Rearranging furniture
• Assisting with general park maintenance
• General cleaning (taking out trash, wiping down tables)

This is a fast‑paced environment during peak hours. We’re looking for people who can stay organized, upbeat, and efficient, even when it’s busy.

Work Environment & Physical Expectations

Green Acres is a primarily outdoor venue, so candidates must be comfortable with:

• Being on their feet 5 hours per shift
• Being outside! You will be outside the majority of your shift and must be comfortable in all seasonal conditions (including summer heat!).
• Must enjoy working in an outdoor setting alongside the Greenbelt scenery as well as share an appreciation for our local food truck and live music scene.
• Bartenders are responsible for changing full‑size beer kegs as needed. Full kegs are heavy (approximately 160–170 lbs). While we provide dollies and proper equipment, team members must be comfortable and capable of safely moving and changing kegs in and out of the kegerator. Reasonable accommodations may be available for qualified individuals where appropriate.
• This is a physically active role. In addition to changing kegs, there may be additional tasks of lifting and moving furniture, carrying yard games (cornhole boards, etc) and other park maintenance.
• Reliable attendance and punctuality, especially for open and close shifts
• Must be comfortable working in a small, shared workspace (our business is in a renovated shipping container)
• Customer service is a top priority for this role. Being a family owned small business - each person hired is an important contribution to our growing business and plays an important role in creating the special experience of hanging out at our special park by the Greenbelt.
