Job Description

Seasonal Cider Garden Bartender

Location: East Boston, MA (256 Marginal Street)

Season: May – October

Type: Part-Time (12–25 hours/week)

Compensation: $17 - $25/hr ($9/hr base + tips, with a $17/hr guaranteed floor)

About the Role

Downeast Cider is heading back outside! We are looking for high-energy, hardworking, and reliable Seasonal Bartenders to join our East Boston Outdoor Pop-Up & Cider Garden for the 2024 season.

This isn't just about pouring cider; it’s about creating an atmosphere. You’ll be the face of Downeast, serving up fresh pours to our community in a fast-paced, high-volume outdoor environment. While this is a seasonal role through October, there is potential to transition into a year-round part-time position at our Cider House and taproom during the off-season.

What You’ll Do

  • Create the Vibe: Provide top-tier customer service and maintain great energy with both guests and your teammates.

  • Operations: Manage opening/closing procedures, maintain a clean and sanitary bar, and follow all safety protocols.

  • The Heavy Lifting: Move, lift, and tap/untap kegs and product (must be able to handle up to 60 lbs).

  • Technical: Use Toast POS (including Toast Go handhelds) for orders and cash handling.

  • Product Knowledge: Sample products and accurately describe our ciders to customers.

  • Support: Assist with restocking merch, cans, and kegs; perform basic inventory reporting and operational troubleshooting.

Shift Requirements

The Cider Garden is a seasonal operation, and consistency is key. To be considered, you must meet the following:

  • Availability: Minimum of 3 shifts per week, including at least one weekend day.

  • Commitment: Must work at least 12 hours per week and be available for the full May–October season with no major schedule changes.

  • Operational Hours:

    • Thu - Fri: 4:00 PM – 11:00 PM

    • Sat - Sun: 10:30 AM – 11:00 PM

    • Note: Shifts vary, but you must be available within these windows for opening/closing.

Who You Are

  • Experienced: You have 2+ years in a customer-service-centered role (Restaurant or Retail experience is a huge plus).

  • Certified: You are 21+ and TIPS certified (or willing to become certified before starting).

  • Reliable: You are extremely responsible, a self-starter, and an initiative-taker.

  • Adaptable: You can thrive in an environment where the pace changes quickly (hello, sunny Saturdays!).

  • Physical: You are comfortable standing for 6–8 hours and lifting heavy kegs.

Bonus Points (Not required, but we’d love to see it!)

  • Experience with Toast POS.

  • Bilingual (Spanish) or ASL proficiency.

  • Crowd Control or First Aid Certification.

Why Downeast?

We like to work hard and have a good time doing it. You’ll be part of a team that values communication, interpersonal skills, and a "get it done" attitude. Plus, you get to spend your summer at one of the best waterfront spots in Eastie.
