Kobe Asian Fusion is looking for an experienced, creative Bar Lead to build and grow the bar program at our Fayetteville location. This is not a traditional high-volume, well-liquor bartending position. We are looking for someone who knows beer, wine, and spirits, understands what makes a great cocktail, and wants the freedom to create something of their own. You'll take the lead on developing a rotating seasonal cocktail menu featuring fresh juices, house-made syrups and infusions, and quality spirits. Just as important, we want someone who can create an experience that gives guests a reason to come back and helps turn our bar into a destination of its own. What makes this opportunity different You'll have the opportunity to shape the bar program rather than simply step into an established one. Bar tips belong solely to this position and are not shared through the restaurant's server tip pool. In addition to hourly pay and tips, the Bar Lead will be eligible for a monthly share of the bar's net profits under a separate written profit-sharing agreement.
