What you'll do...

• Prepare and serve cocktails, wines, beers, spirits, coffees and non-alcoholic drinks consistently to recipe and presentation standards.
• Welcome and engage guests at the bar with warmth, confidence and personality, making recommendations based on their tastes and the occasion.

• Complete daily mise en place, garnishes, batching and bar set-up to ensure smooth and efficient service.
• Maintain excellent cleanliness, organisation, glassware and presentation throughout the shift.
• Work closely with the floor team to manage drink tickets accurately and maintain strong service times.
• Follow correct stock rotation, requisition and wastage procedures and report shortages or quality issues promptly.
• Handle POS transactions and payments accurately in line with company procedures.
• Support tastings, menu launches, events and activations and contribute ideas that can improve the guest experience.
• Support other Food & Beverage outlets when required, bringing the same standards and collaborative approach.
• Follow licensing, responsible alcohol service, food safety and Health & Safety requirements at all times.

What we're looking for...

• You have previous bartending experience in a premium bar, restaurant, luxury hotel or high-quality lifestyle venue.
• You have solid cocktail and beverage knowledge and a genuine interest in continuing to learn.
• You are naturally engaging and enjoy creating a connection with guests while staying attentive to the wider bar.
• You work cleanly, quickly and accurately and remain calm when service gets busy.
• You are a strong team player and communicate clearly with both bar and floor colleagues.
• You are flexible to work evenings, late nights, weekends and key hospitality moments.

What's in it for you...

• The opportunity to launch Delano London and help shape the Food & Beverage experience from day one, with real influence over the culture and service style.
• Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that's committed to not just building new hotels but building a global brand.
• The chance to challenge the norm and help create venues that can become both neighbourhood favourites and destinations in their own right, in an environment that is creative and rewarding.
• Become part of a team that's passionate about creating great hospitality experiences, bringing together design, dining, nightlife and culture in a distinctly Delano way.
• Plenty of opportunity for development as the hotel and the wider brand continue to grow.
