At the heart of our hotels are the people who through their vibrancy and energy bring our properties to life. We are now seeking a dynamic individual that will capture the very essence of the Standard London to join our team as a Sweeties Bar Back.
Your role
As Sweeties Bar Back you will be part of a specialist drinks service from early evening sunset cocktails through to late-night lounge and party vibes.

Your role is to assist with the preparation and staging on the bar counter, fridges, back bar and speed rails for service, and ensure the bar has sufficient quantities of all its equipment such as glasses, drinks and crockery. During service, you are the right hand to the bartenders and will ensure the workspace stays tidy and organised and the bar stays stocked according to standards.
