How Da Kine's Kava described it
Da Kine's Kava is looking for a fun bartender to become a part of our growing community. If you have service experience, barista or bartending skills, we would love to meet you! Our environment is very relaxing, but we work hard to make it feel that way, so fast-paced experience is a requirement. We need someone who can prepare drinks, help with pre-batching, educate customers, make recommendations, and handle tabs/payments. We want someone who is motivated, meticulous, and observant. We will provide training to help and guide you, so that you can be comfortable moving quickly, multi-tasking, and eventually working with minimal supervision. We promise, bartending in a kava bar is one of the most unique bartending opportunities out there!
We need someone who can work 3 bartending shifts or ~18 hours per week. We are looking for daytime, evening, and nighttime work, and some weekend availability is a must. Knowledge of kava, kratom, D-9, and CBD is not required, but it is a huge plus. Pay is $12 an hour plus exceptional tips from our fantastic customers. We would love to see your resume if this job sparks your interest!
