Server / Bartender

Bad Brother is looking for a part-time Bartender / Server to join our small team.

We are a family-owned neighborhood restaurant with a very small staff and limited support staff, so the ability and willingness to work both bartender and server positions, along with helping wherever needed, is essential. We are looking for people who genuinely enjoy hospitality, take pride in their work, and want to be part of a tight-knit team environment.

We are currently primarily hiring for dinner service shifts, though there will also be limited daytime shifts available.

Dinner shifts typically start at 4:30 PM.
Lunch shifts typically start at 10:00 AM.

Candidates must be able to reliably commit to 3–4 shifts per week. Our current scheduling needs require any candidate to have a minimum consistent availability of Saturday - Tuesday nights, although greater availability and a willingness to help pick up shifts when needed is a major plus.

Our menu changes constantly, so keeping up requires effort, curiosity, and attention to detail. Applicants should have a solid working knowledge of food, wine, craft beer, and cocktails.

Our style of service is detailed but informal. We aim to bring fine dining-level attention to product and hospitality into a casual neighborhood setting.

We are looking for someone with a strong understanding of service fundamentals who can also connect naturally with guests and help create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Compensation

We charge a 20% service fee on all in-house checks. That service fee is used to pay FOH hourly wages and help support competitive, livable wages for our BOH staff.

This position pays:

• $20/hour base pay
• Additional tips through an FOH-only tip pool

Staff in this role reliably average approximately $29–$32/hour pre-tax combined. Typical shifts are generally 6–8 hours.

Requirements

• Positive attitude on both the busiest and slowest nights
• Must work clean and stay organized
• Friendly, outgoing personality with a genuine interest in hospitality
• Quick-moving, efficient, team-oriented mindset
• Ability to multitask and stay composed in a fast-paced environment
• Willingness to work weekends and late nights
• Must be dependable and willing to help cover scheduling conflicts when possible
• Must intend to stay for at least one year
• Ability to stand for long periods and lift up to 50 lbs
• RAMP certification required
• Must be open to training, feedback, and continued learning

We care deeply about what we do and are looking for people who want to be part of building something special, not just pick up shifts.
