EXPERIENCED HOSPITALITY TEAM MEMBER

Cocktails • Coffee • Food Service

Full-Time | 8:00 AM–5:30 PM | $20.00+ Average $10.00 a hour plus tips.

Big Aztec Corner Bar is hiring an experienced hospitality professional for one cross-trained daytime position inside the historic Aztec Theatre in Downtown San Antonio.

This is one job, not separate bartender, barista and food-service positions.

Every daytime team member is expected to work across the entire operation, including cocktails, coffee, food preparation and service, POS, guest service, dishes, cleaning, restocking and sanitation.

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE APPLYING.

This is a busy, hands-on, cross-trained hospitality position.

It is NOT a bartender-only job.

It is NOT a position where you stand behind the bar waiting for drink orders.

Our daytime team handles cocktails, coffee, food service, guest service, POS transactions, stocking, dishes, cleaning, sanitation and preparation for the next shift.

You will be moving throughout the entire shift and frequently handling several responsibilities at the same time.

COMPENSATION

Average total earnings are $20+ per hour, including:

Hourly wages
Cash tips
Credit card tips
Performance bonuses

Actual earnings vary based on hours worked, business volume, tips and performance.

WHAT A TYPICAL SHIFT CAN INCLUDE

During the same shift, you may:

Prepare cocktails
Serve beer and specialty beverages
Make coffee and café beverages
Prepare aguas frescas
Prepare breakfast items
Reheat and serve breakfast tacos
Assemble breakfast sandwiches
Assemble gourmet hot dogs
Prepare toppings, condiments and service supplies
Take orders at tables and the counter
Enter orders into the POS
Open and manage customer tabs
Process cash and credit card payments
Run food and beverages
Clear and reset tables
Wash dishes and utensils
Restock refrigerators, beverages, food and supplies
Check food and refrigeration temperatures
Label, date and rotate food
Clean food-preparation areas
Clean the bar and café
Sweep and mop floors
Empty trash
Clean customer areas
Inspect and clean the restroom
Restock paper products and sanitation supplies
Prepare the operation for the next shift

Everyone participates in the operation.

There is no separate cooks.

There is no separate dishwasher.

There is no separate busser.

There is no separate barback assigned to do your stocking and cleaning.

If something needs to be cleaned, stocked, washed, prepared or handled, the team handles it.

THIS JOB IS PHYSICALLY ACTIVE

You should expect to be on your feet and moving for most of the shift.

This position requires:

Standing and walking throughout a long shift
Frequent bending, reaching and repetitive movement
Carrying supplies, beverages, ice and inventory
Working around hot equipment and refrigeration
Moving between the bar, café, food station, tables, storage and restroom
Maintaining a fast working pace during busy periods

Downtown traffic can change quickly based on tourism, conventions, concerts, River Walk activity and special events.

Some periods may be steady.

Other periods may become extremely busy with little warning.

You must be able to change priorities quickly while maintaining accuracy, cleanliness and professional guest service.

YOU MUST BE ABLE TO MULTITASK

You may be making a cocktail while monitoring a food order, answering a guest question, watching a table, processing a payment and keeping your station stocked.

We expect team members to recognize what needs to be done without waiting to be told every time.

That means:

Seeing a dirty table and cleaning it
Seeing an empty refrigerator and restocking it
Seeing dishes accumulating and washing them
Seeing supplies running low and replenishing them
Seeing a guest who needs assistance and helping them
Keeping your station organized before it becomes a problem

We are looking for people who take ownership of their shift.

THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT BE A GOOD FIT IF:

You only want to bartend
You do not want to handle food
You do not want to wash dishes
You do not want to clean
You are uncomfortable cleaning a customer restroom
You do not like working on your feet
You need someone constantly telling you what to do next
You struggle with multitasking
You are uncomfortable working independently
You are regularly late or have attendance problems
You are looking for a slow or low-responsibility daytime job

CLEANING IS PART OF THE JOB

Cleaning is not something that happens only at the end of the shift.

We clean continuously throughout the day.

Responsibilities include:

Washing dishes, utensils and bar tools
Cleaning and sanitizing counters and food-preparation surfaces
Cleaning tables and seating areas
Sweeping and mopping
Emptying trash
Cleaning equipment
Maintaining the café and bar
Cleaning and restocking the customer restroom
Maintaining sanitation supplies
Keeping the entire operation inspection-ready

If you are not comfortable cleaning, please do not apply.

FOOD AND BEVERAGE SERVICE

Our food operation primarily involves assembly, preparation and reheating rather than traditional scratch cooking.

You must be comfortable moving between:

Cocktails → Coffee → Food → POS → Tables → Dishes → Cleaning → Restocking

throughout the same shift.

POS AND CASH HANDLING

Previous restaurant or bar POS experience is required.

We use Union POS and will provide training on our system, but applicants should already be comfortable with:

Entering food and beverage orders
Opening and managing customer tabs
Processing cash and credit cards
Handling an assigned cash drawer
Correcting order errors
Maintaining transaction accuracy during busy periods

REQUIREMENTS- DO NOT APPLY IF YOU DO NOT HAVE:

Applicants must have:

Previous restaurant, bar, café or hospitality experience
Restaurant or bar POS experience
Current TABC Seller/Server Certification
Current Texas Food Handler Card
Reliable transportation to Downtown San Antonio
Availability to work 8:00 AM–5:30 PM
Weekend availability as scheduled
Strong attendance and punctuality
Ability to work independently
Ability to multitask during high-volume service
Ability to remain active and on your feet throughout the shift
Willingness to perform all food-service, beverage-service, cleaning and operational responsibilities

IMPORTANT

We are a small hospitality operation.

That means everyone contributes.

We are looking for dependable people who show up ready to work, move with purpose, take care of guests, keep the operation clean and help wherever they are needed.

If you are looking for an easy bartending job, this is not it.

If you enjoy staying busy, take pride in your work, like learning different parts of an operation and want consistent daytime hours, you may be a great fit.

TO APPLY- A current résumé is required.

Your résumé should clearly show relevant bartending, restaurant, café, food-service, POS or hospitality experience.

Please apply only if you can consistently work the schedule and are comfortable performing all responsibilities described above.
