Aloette Spadina is hiring a passionate & experienced Bartender to join our team. Experience in a similar restaurant is a strong asset.

Scheduling availability for brunches, lunches, and dinners is a strong asset. This is a part time role.

The ideal candidate in this role has unquestionable hospitality, a passion for all things food and beverage, and the ability to focus in a fast paced environment.

Aloette, like its sister restaurants, Alo and Alobar, aims to be the best in its class. We look globally for our standards, but are focused on capturing our neighborhood’s attention. As with all restaurants in the Alo Food Group, we are in the regulars business, offering our guests a continuing relationship in a venue where the food’s integrity is met by a zeal for hospitality. Our approach to guest relations is just this: give them no reason to go anywhere else.

Aloette invests in people. We offer our employees a culture of excellence and constant progression, where all look forward to coming to work and take pride in what they do. And we think long term. No shortcuts. Such a culture is not for everyone, for, as the philosopher Spinoza says, “All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.” But those who buy into what we do find a bona fide sense of accomplishment.

Bartenders are the first to establish a connection and relationship with our guests. They fully understand that the guest experience is of the utmost importance. Their role is to guide guests through our menu with correct, comprehensive knowledge of the dishes, cocktails and wines that Aloette offers. They communicate as much as possible with the kitchen and fellow team members in order to give the guest the best possible experience. Bartenders never show signs of distress, they are gracious and genuine at all times. The following duties are expected of our Bartenders at Aloette:
