Responsibilities:
- Craft and execute a high-caliber menu of non-alcoholic cocktails.
- Manage and train bar staff, ensuring high standards of service and expertise.
- Oversee bar operations, including inventory management.

Job Type: Hourly ($16/hr plus tips)

About Mockingbird: Mockingbird is an upscale zero-proof cocktail bar located in Park Slope, Brooklyn. We specialize in crafting creative, non-alcoholic cocktails and offer an extensive selection of non-alcoholic beers and wines.

Mixing and serving cocktails to customer tastes is only one of a bartender’s many jobs within the bar. Ensuring the safety of staff and guests is the bartender’s number one priority, of course, but cultivating an upbeat and enjoyable environment is a close second. Bartenders can often be the only tether between people in the community looking for connection; this doesn’t change because our bar is zero-proof.

Acting as a resource for customers and cocktail servers both takes on extra significance in the context of a zero-proof bar, which most people are unfamiliar with. Balancing the educational aspects of this position while also preparing drinks is a tall ask, but Mockingbird bartenders rise to the occasion and are happy to answer any questions.

Responsibilities:
- Craft and execute a high-caliber menu of non-alcoholic cocktails to Mockingbird’s standards.
- Manage bar inventory and restocking as needed.
- Maintain a clean and organized bar area.
- Provide excellent customer service, engaging guests to ensure a memorable bar experience.

Minimum Requirements:
- 1+ year of bartending experience.
- Ability to stand for 6-7 hours per day and lift up to 50lbs.
- Basic computer skills for managing inventory and processing orders.
- Availability to work weekends and evenings.

Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with non-alcoholic beverages and knowledge of NA brands.
- Beer and wine knowledge.
- Willingness to undertake training in mixology techniques.

Job Type: Hourly ($13.35/hr plus tips)

About Mockingbird: Mockingbird is an upscale zero-proof cocktail bar located in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

In this role, you will be responsible for providing exceptional service to our guests, showcasing our unique zero-proof cocktails with charm and professionalism. The ideal candidate will be passionate about hospitality, eager to learn, and committed to creating memorable experiences.

Cocktail servers at Mockingbird play an integral role in bridging the gap between the wide swath of expertise behind the bar to the curious customers on the floor.

Servers at Mockingbird are studied in the principles of NA mixology and can communicate our mission statement effectively on the fly.

They are responsible for keeping the floor clear of debris and empty glasses in the course of service. They may also be asked by the bartender to restock any items depleted behind the bar during a shift, such as ice. Carding guests, asking after allergies, and keeping an eye on corners where the bartender’s eyes can’t reach are integral to the safety of the server’s coworkers and customers.

Responsibilities:
Provide attentive and friendly service to all guests, ensuring a welcoming and enjoyable experience.
Present and serve non-alcoholic cocktails, beer, wine and food with knowledge and enthusiasm.
Maintain a clean and organized service area, ensuring the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene.
