Bartender You love the energy of a great event and take real pride in running a tight bar.

LK Hospitality is looking for skilled bartenders to join our team. Full time at Yugen Dining, our award-winning Japanese fine dining venue. You'll craft precision cocktails in one of Melbourne's most celebrated dining rooms.

About Us Founded in 2019, LK Hospitality has quickly made a name for itself as the home of innovative, creative and world-class dining and drinking experiences. Led by Executive Culinary Director, Stephen Nairn, our portfolio includes award-winning Omnia, Yugen Dining and Yugen Omakase. In addition to The Grand Room and Bromley Gallery Events, all located within the prestigious Capitol Grand, on the bustling corner of Toorak Road and Chapel Street, South Yarra and Portside.

The Role You own the guest experience and the bar from open to close.

Greet and farewell guests personally, holding service to standard throughout their visit

Recommend beverages that match what each guest is after, backed by robust product knowledge across cocktails, spirits, wine and beer

Prepare and serve beverages to a consistent standard, presented clearly and in order at the pick-up point

Keep bar stock, garnishes and glassware ready ahead of service, and run opening and closing procedures

Operate the POS system accurately and process payments

Verify guest age, monitor consumption and uphold RSA requirements at all times

Keep the bar clean and well presented, and communicate with the floor, kitchen and management as needed

Who We're Looking For You know your product,



you keep several things moving during a busy shift, and you pay attention to the detail guests notice.

Strong knowledge of wine, beer and cocktails

Confident multitasking during busy service

Clear communication and strong attention to detail

Current RSA certification

Experience in a busy, high volume bar

And the non-negotiables. You hold the standard without needing to be chased, you keep the bar running the way it should even when it's busy, and the rest of the team can rely on you.
