THE OPTIMIST BARTENDER – UP TO $8/hr. + TIPS (Germantown)

Nashville · On-site$5 – $14

About this role

At Rocket Farm Restaurants, the core philosophy that defines our culture is “We serve the person who is serving the guest.” Our culture is not something we act out on the floor of the restaurant. It starts with how we treat and serve one another in the kitchen – with dignity, respect, and care. We believe there should be no difference in how we treat and serve one another in the kitchen and how we treat and serve our guests in the dining room. We hope you agree and will consider joining us!

The Optimist brings a menu of casual, wood-fired fare to Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood, transporting landlocked Tennesseans coast side to experience fresh, sustainably sourced seafood.

The Optimist is seeking an experienced Bartender who is passionate about creating memories!

The Optimist is seeking a passionate collaborator who wants to be part of a fast-moving, creative team that helps shape guest experiences. The beverage menu at The Optimist is designed with fresh, seasonal, and deliciously un-manipulated libations, highlighting old sea-faring nations’ spirits of choice: rum and gin crafted into seasonally appropriate, bright, and focused cocktails. Our bartenders work closely with the rest of the staff to ensure bar product quality and a thorough understanding of all beverage products available, along with cocktail inspiration and history in order to tell our story to our guests. Apply today and become part of a dynamic, innovative, and heartfelt group of unique individuals!
