Private Club Bartender Lead

At Union Padel Club, hospitality is just as important as the game. As our Private Club Bartender Lead, you’ll be responsible for creating a welcoming, elevated experience for our members across the bar, social spaces, and events. This is a hands-on hospitality role for someone who enjoys building relationships, knows how to run a great bar, and takes pride in the details that make a private club experience feel special.

You’ll lead the day-to-day bar experience, including preparing and serving cocktails, beer, wine, coffee, and zero-proof beverages, as well as heating and plating food and supporting private events. You’ll also take ownership of bar inventory, ordering, organization, and maintaining appropriate stock levels.

This is a full-time, salaried position with tips on top of salary. We’re looking for someone who is comfortable working approximately five days per week, including evenings and weekends as needed, and who wants to be a key part of building the hospitality experience at Union Padel Club.

What You’ll Do

  • Create a warm, personalized hospitality experience for Union Padel Club members and guests
  • Lead the day-to-day operation of the bar and ensure it is consistently clean, organized, and well stocked
  • Prepare and serve cocktails, beer, wine, coffee, and zero-proof beverages
  • Heat, plate, and serve food while maintaining a high standard of presentation
  • Manage bar inventory, ordering, receiving, organization, and product levels
  • Help develop and maintain beverage offerings and ensure consistent quality
  • Support private events, member gatherings, and special programming
  • Build genuine relationships with members and become a familiar face within the club community
  • Help train and support other team members working within the bar and hospitality areas
  • Maintain appropriate food, beverage, sanitation, and safety standards
  • Jump in wherever needed to help create a seamless member experience

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
