Bartender
W BudapestABOUT THE PROPERTY
Located in the heart of the city at Andrassy Avenue (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the hotel will be housed in the impressive Drechsler Palace on the city’s most luxurious shopping street located directly across from the State Opera House. W Budapest will feature 151 stylish guest rooms and suites, including one Extreme WOW, the brand’s lux-take on the Presidential Suite. The hotel will offer a destination restaurant and a destination bar, both sure to be embraced by locals as a place to mix and mingle, as well as the signature W Lounge, the brand’s evolution of the traditional hotel lobby, where guests can go to see and be seen. Three meeting and event spaces, including a Great Room for larger celebrations, are available, along with an Away® Spa, FIT® fitness center, and WET® pool. Guests can also expect the W brand’s signature Whatever/Whenever® service philosophy, providing guests whatever they want, whenever they want it.
ABOUT THE BRAND
At W we go all in. We are vibrant, alluring, and personal. We don’t take ourselves too seriously. We are irreverent, energetic, and spontaneous. We have an edge. We are bold, brave, and confident. We do everything with intention. We are sophisticated, thoughtful, and aspirational. W sits alongside luxury and is not confined by it, W turns the traditional notion of the extravagant hotel on its head. Our irreverent attitude and taste for excess redefine revelry for the modern jet set. We stimulate our guests to ignite curiosity and expand worlds. We share our guests’ passions, providing insider access to what’s new and what’s next. If you’re ready to create the energetic W scene that is magnetic to everyday connectors around the world, then we invite you to explore a career with W Hotels. W Hotels does not recruit, we cast Talent.
POSITION SUMMARY
Our jobs aren’t just about mixing drinks. Instead, we want to build an experience that is memorable and unique. Our bartenders have the basics down, but are constantly on the look-out for new trends, micro-local offerings, and guests’ evolving needs. They are not just a beverage enthusiast, but also the host of the space. Their role goes beyond the bar itself to take ownership of guest service more broadly and do what needs to be done. Bartenders will use their knowledge and expertise to make the bar look and function flawlessly. They will build relationships with others across the hotel and in the community, to anticipate and deliver on our guests’ needs. They should be 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.
No matter what position you are in, there are a few things that are critical to success – creating a safe workplace, following company policies and procedures, protecting company assets, maintaining confidentiality, and ensuring your uniform and personal appearance are professional. Bartenders will be on their feet and moving around (stand, sit, or walk for an extended period of time) and taking a hands-on approach to their work (move, lift, carry, push, pull, and place objects weighing less than or equal to 25 pounds without assistance; reach overhead and below the knees, including bending, twisting, pulling, and stooping). 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.
