Mixologist

? We're Looking for a Beverage Leader. Not Just a Bartender.

Can you build a cocktail program that people talk about?

The Maggiore Group is searching for an experienced Mixologist to lead the cocktail experience at one of our award-winning restaurants.

This is a unique opportunity where you will still work behind the bar AND shape the beverage identity of the restaurant brand, create unforgettable cocktail programs, help to develop a talented bar team, and have a direct impact on profitability, guest experience, and company growth. This is a salaried position, but you will still be able to earn tips whenever you bartend – the best of both worlds!

If you're equally passionate about creativity and operational excellence—and know that a great cocktail program is built with systems, training, consistency, and innovation—we want to meet you.

What You'll Do

• Design innovative seasonal cocktail menus and signature beverage programs.
• Create recipes, specifications, and standardized operating procedures.
• Develop bar training manuals, checklists, and educational materials.
• Train bar teams to execute every cocktail with consistency and precision.
• Analyze and control beverage COGS, pricing, inventory, and pour costs.
• Establish purchasing standards, spirit selections, and par levels.
• Evaluate bar layouts and workflows to improve speed, efficiency, and guest experience.
• Ensure every beverage meets company standards for quality, presentation, and consistency.
• Work alongside Operations leadership to continuously improve beverage performance.
• Develop systems that reduce waste while elevating quality.
• Maintain the highest standards of sanitation, organization, and operational excellence.
• Deliver exceptional guest experiences each and every time you’re behind the bar

We're Looking for Someone Who...

• Lives and breathes hospitality.
• Has a passion for creating cocktails guests can't stop talking about.
• Understands the business behind the bar—not just the drinks.
• Can inspire, coach, and elevate bar teams.
• Thrives in a fast-paced, multi-unit environment.
• Is obsessed with details, consistency, and continuous improvement.
• Loves building systems that make restaurants more profitable.
•  

Qualifications

• 5–7 years as a professional bartender
• Strong knowledge of inventory management, purchasing, and beverage cost controls
• Experience developing successful training programs
• Thorough understanding of restaurant safety and sanitation
• ServSafe Certification & Food Handler Card
• Experience with inventory systems and COGS management
• Outstanding leadership and communication skills
• Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail
• Self-motivated with strong problem-solving abilities
• Proven ability to create unique, elevated cocktail programs
