Bartender / Server Shift Leader — Little Wolf

About Little Wolf

Little Wolf is a neighbourhood restaurant and bar rooted in genuine hospitality, thoughtful food and drink, and a warm, energetic room. We care deeply about craft, about our guests, and about creating a place where both staff and community feel taken care of. As we grow, we're looking for a shift leader who can help steward the room with confidence, awareness, and a collaborative spirit.

Role Overview

The Bartender/Server Shift Leader is a key presence on the floor — setting the tone for service, supporting the team, and ensuring guests receive attentive, seamless hospitality. This role blends hands-on service with leadership, helping guide service flow, maintaining standards, and acting as a bridge between front of house, bar, and kitchen.

You'll bartend and serve while also keeping an eye on the bigger picture: pacing, communication, guest experience, and the overall energy of the room.

Key Responsibilities

Service & Guest Experience

• Provide warm, knowledgeable, and attentive service at the bar and on the floor
• Lead by example in hospitality, professionalism, and care
• Anticipate guest needs and support service recovery when needed
• Help maintain a welcoming, calm, and organized dining room

Shift Leadership

• Act as point person during service, supporting staff and troubleshooting issues
• Assist with running smooth shifts: pacing, sections, communication, and flow
• Ensure standards for service, cleanliness, and atmosphere are upheld
• Support opening and closing procedures

Bar & Beverage

• Execute cocktails, wine, and beer service with consistency and attention to detail
• Contribute ideas and feedback on cocktails and the beverage program
• Help maintain bar organization, prep, and inventory awareness
• Uphold responsible alcohol service practices

Team Support

• Foster a positive, respectful team culture
• Help coach and support newer staff during service
• Communicate clearly with kitchen and management
• Step in where needed — we operate as a team

What We're Looking For

• Strong service instincts and situational awareness
• Bartending experience with comfort in classic and house cocktails
• Leadership presence without ego — calm, steady, and solutions-focused
• Ability to multitask in a busy environment while staying guest-focused
• Reliability, professionalism, and open availability (including weekends)
• Genuine enthusiasm for hospitality and being part of a growing restaurant

Nice to Have

• Experience in a leadership or keyholder role
• Interest in wine, cocktails, or beverage development
• A mindset of continuous improvement — always looking for ways to make the room better

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $15.00-$18.00 per hour

Experience:

• Hospitality: 4 years (required)

Work Location: In person
