Job Snapshot

Why We're Here

We believe heartfelt, human connections make people's lives better. Especially the people who work here.

Our founder, Bill Kimpton rebelled against impersonal, generic hospitality that makes people feel disconnected. He initiated a new boutique hotel standard and environment where people could connect, from the heart.

That was the goal then, and it is still our purpose today.

Your work here has meaning. You're here to improve the lives of coworkers, guests, owners, communities, and together we make that happen.

It's what drives all that we do. Every day you can improve lives in your own, unique way and you can expect the same in return.

It all starts with you.

How We're Different

Our San Francisco-born entrepreneurial spirit and zest for life kick started this culture in 1981, and it shines through to this day.

It all flows from you. The lively, rebellious, genuine you - with your diverse background, talents, experiences, and plucky personality - is fully welcome, and celebrated here.

Because we know that when people can be themselves at work, they shine.

That's what we seek out and celebrate. It's people of all kinds who share a knack for creativity and self-leadership. People who don't need to be told what to do to get things done.

People who have an innate passion for making others' lives better.

It adds up to a work environment that's a bit quirky, irreverent, exciting, uncommon, empowering, and downright exceptional.

Guests feel it; you'll feel it too.

What You'll Do

Assist the bartender with stocking, cleanliness, equipment handling and maintenance. When necessary, serve food and beverages for the guests and service staff.

All functions are carried out to maintain an environment of teamwork and to provide outstanding service to our guests. You'll act as an advocate for the bar / restaurant, be a creator of ridiculously personal experiences, and develop relationships with guests that will compel them to return.

Some of your responsibilities include :

  • Greet and welcome our guests.
  • Check the service stations and tables to ensure accurate set-up and cleanliness.
  • Assist the restaurant dining services (if necessary), when and where appropriate.
  • Perform all necessary sidework, setup, and breakdown of the bar.

  • Clean shelving, stainless steel, mixers, cups, blenders and soda guns.
  • Unpack deliveries, stock bar and change beer kegs.
  • Notify a manager if a guest is becoming intoxicated or rude to other guests.
  • We all wear multiple hats here at Kimpton. You may need to take on responsibilities outside of this job description at times, as we all do.

What You Bring

  • 1 year of experience in a similar or supportive role is preferred.
  • Food Handler and Alcohol Awareness Certification (if applicable).
  • Able to prioritize multiple tasks in a dynamic environment.
