EVENT BAR STAFF Overhire / As-Needed | Part-Time, Non-Exempt $15.00/hour + tips TheatreSquared is looking for friendly, dependable Event Bar Staff to join our seasonal overhire team and help support performances, special events, and other activities at The Commons Bar & Café. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people, likes the energy of performances and special events, and is interested in bar service—even if you don't have traditional bartending experience. Our Event Bar Staff primarily serve beer, wine, and pre-batched cocktails, work the register, and help keep the bar and café running smoothly during busy performances and events.
You'll work alongside experienced TheatreSquared staff and will not be expected to operate the bar or café on your own. Previous bartending experience is not required. Experience working a register and providing customer service is more important. If you've worked in a restaurant, coffee shop, fast-food environment, retail, concessions, as a bar-back, or in another customer-facing position, your experience could translate well to this role. WHAT DOES "OVERHIRE" MEAN? Overhire staff work as needed based on TheatreSquared's performance and event schedule rather than receiving a regular weekly schedule.
Available shifts may be offered for pickup or assigned based on availability and staffing needs. During performance weeks, there may be several opportunities to work, while during "dark weeks" with no performances, there may be few or no shifts available. Special events may also create additional opportunities throughout the year. Most shifts are approximately 3–5 hours and may take place during the day, evening, late night, weekends, and occasionally holidays. There is no minimum number of shifts required. However, reliability is extremely important . Once you pick up or are scheduled for a shift, we count on you to be there and ready to work.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
The majority of this position—approximately 60–70% —is focused on beverage service and supporting the bar during performances and events. Responsibilities may include: Serve beer, wine, batched cocktails, water, and other beverages. Step in and assist with bar service during busy or peak periods. Operate the point-of-sale/register system and accurately process customer payments. Provide friendly, welcoming, and efficient customer service to TheatreSquared patrons and guests. Restock beverages, cups, glassware, ice, and other bar and café supplies. Clear and wipe tables, counters, and service areas. Wash glassware and assist with general cleanup throughout and at the end of a shift.
Serve coffee, snacks, prepared food, and other café items as needed. Support bartenders and full-time staff wherever additional help is needed. Occasionally assist with food or catering preparation when specifically scheduled for that type of shift. Wash dishes by hand and/or load dishwasher after catering events Follow all TheatreSquared procedures related…
