Bartender

Job Description

Job Description

Description:

Umami Riot was born from a simple idea: pair joyful hospitality with uncompromising craftsmanship. Founded by Chef Tim Cushman and sake expert Nancy Cushman, our restaurants celebrate bold flavor, precision, and a deep respect for Japanese foodways – translated through a distinctly Boston lens. At Umami Riot, we’re not here to follow the rules of hospitality, we’re here to rewrite them – with heart, craft and fearless creativity.

Bianca is a vibrant blend of wood-fired cooking, craft cocktails, and warm, modern hospitality — and we’re searching for someone who brings that same energy. At Bianca, we do more than serve food and drinks — we create moments. Whether it’s a weeknight pizza and cocktail or a celebratory dinner, every guest experience is shaped by our team’s attention to detail, warmth, and commitment to excellence.

We’re looking for a Bartender who commands the bar, connects with guests, and brings the energy.

THE GIG (AKA WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY BE DOING)

• Own the bar experience — setting the tone, building the vibe, and guiding guests from first hello to final goodbye
• Balance craft, speed, and personality with ease, even when the bar is packed and the energy is high
• Build real rapport with guests, making the bar feel personal, welcoming, and alive
• Execute service with precision — using the POS accurately, following steps of service, and ensuring proper glassware, setup, and presentation
• Know the menu inside and out — food, beer, wine, cocktails — and stay curious about learning more
• Keep the bar clean, organized, and service-ready; execute opening, closing, and restocking with purpose; support all service channels; communicate guest feedback; serve alcohol responsibly; jump in where needed; and show up sharp and professional for nights, weekends, and holidays

THIS ROLE IS A GREAT FIT IF…

• You love being behind the bar and in the middle of the action
• You know how to read a room and connect with people fast
• You care about the details — the pour, the glass, the moment
• You stay cool under pressure and move with confidence
• You believe great bartending is part skill, part hospitality, part instinct
• You thrive in loud, busy, high-energy environments

Requirements:

LET’S SET EXPECTATIONS (IN A GOOD WAY)

This is a high-energy restaurant where the pace is constant, the room stays lively, and the floor never really slows down.

You’ll spend your shifts front and center — moving with confidence through a busy dining room, connecting with guests, and staying locked into the rhythm of service — in a hands-on role that values presence, polish, and a strong commitment to cleanliness, safety, and hospitality standards. We’re committed to providing reasonable accommodations to support individuals in performing the essential functions of the role.

WHY PEOPLE STICK AROUND

• Competitive hourly pay & pooled tips - because your work matters
• Dining discounts across all Umami Riot locations
• FREE parking!
• Growth that’s real (not just talked about)
• A team culture rooted in respect, creativity, and heart

Pay: $6.75 - $8 per hour plus tips
