Bartender

Along with the serving and service support team, bartenders at Tips Up work to serve consistently excellent beverages, and food to guests; provide impeccable hospitality to each of our clients, working specifically with each individual need to curate the best experience possible.

Tips Up operates a weighted points-based Tip Pool.

FOH = 97% of all daily gratuity. BOH = 3% of all daily gratuity.

Bartenders and Servers earn equal points in the daily tip pool. Service Support earn a lesser value. Closing bartenders will earn a greater point than standard bartending and serving shifts, given the bar at times closes around 2AM during the peak winter season.
