Description

At Crescent Hotels & Resorts, we are a team of hospitality professionals that are deeply connected to & proud of the exceptional experiences we provide for our guests. More than that, we know our Associates are the shining stars of what we do!

We understand what it takes to be a part of something great. We will encourage you to bring your true self to work every day, we will celebrate you and we will cheer you on as you shine bright in your career journey. Whether it be our health & wellness programs, best in class learning and development or our travel discounts that ‘feed your inner explorer’, we work hard to create and deliver on what YOU need. We are ready for you to start your journey with us where You Belong. We Care. Shine Bright.

At Ampersand27 and Varscona Hotel on Whyte, we are looking for our next great team member to join our Restaurant team. We are committed to providing you with:

  • Competitive wages
  • An exceptional benefit plan for eligible associates & your family members
  • Flexible scheduling to allow you to focus on what is important to you
  • Discounts with our Crescent managed properties in North America for you & your family members
  • Opportunity to grow with us
  • A workplace that you can be proud of, where you are valued, trusted and supported by the team

Here is what you will be doing each day:

Bartending at Ampersand27 isn’t just about mixing drinks. Instead, it is about building an experience that is memorable and unique for our guests. You will have the basics down but are constantly on the look-out for new trends, and guests’ evolving needs. You will use your knowledge and expertise to make the bar look and function flawlessly. You are passionate about the guest service experience, but also have an eye for detail – from the money that moves through their hands, to the information they provide to guests, to the quality of their drinks.

Does this sound like you?

You have a keen eye for detail, are very organized, and don’t shy away from physical work. You are capable of moving, lifting, carrying or placing objects weighing less than or equal to 25 pounds without assistance. Doing all these things well (and other reasonable job duties as requested) is critical for Bartenders – to get it right for our guests and our business each and every time. You are looking for some flexibility in a job, so working a variety of different shifts, including days, evenings and weekends works for your personal life.

At Crescent Hotels & Resorts we strive to create a great place to work where associates at all levels of our organization are respected for their differences, just like the guests and owners we serve. That’s why we are dedicated to creating an environment that facilitates open and honest conversations about race, equity, diversity, and inclusion. By examining our own beliefs and behaviors, we can create change through training, recruiting, and promoting diverse talent to strengthen our culture.
