Bartender

Bake Chop Catering & Events | Downtown De Land

Bake Chop Catering & Events is looking for dependable, hardworking bartenders to join our event team on a part time, as needed basis.

This is not a traditional bar position with a set weekly schedule. Available event shifts are posted to the team, staff members place bids on the shifts they are available to work, and management confirms the final event team.

Events may take place at our downtown DeLand venue or at offsite locations throughout the area. For offsite events, you may report directly to the event location. Depending on the event, team members may also be required to return to our venue afterward to unload, clean, organize, and properly put away equipment and supplies.

• This is a hands on team position. You are not only responsible for bartending. Everyone helps wherever needed to make sure the event is successful from setup through final cleanup.
