Server / Server-Bartender (Cross-Trained Role) - Mamasita Bar & Grill - New York

📍 Hell’s Kitchen / Midtown West
🕒 Part-Time or Full-Time
💰 Hourly + Tips

Mamasita Bar & Grill is a high-energy, family-owned Mexican restaurant known for its vibrant atmosphere, creative margarita program, and strong, team-driven culture.

We’re seeking reliable, high-performing team members who move with urgency, learn quickly, and can confidently adapt to new systems, menus, and service standards in a fast-paced environment.

This is a cross-trained role, meaning all team members are expected to work both the floor and the bar. While you may begin as a server, you will be trained behind the bar and must be comfortable executing both roles with confidence. No prior bartending experience is required—we provide hands-on training.

Our beverage program is extensive and detail-driven. You will be expected to fully learn the menu, including dedicating time outside of training to study and build confidence in all drink offerings.

You must be at least 18 years old to apply.
