Tapas Bar Operators

Position Number: 6872077
Location: San Francisco, CA
Position Type: Business - Hotel & Restaurant Management

We're opening a Spanish-style tapas bar in Union Square and hiring people who can actually run a room. This is a hybrid role by design. You'll cook, pour, talk to guests, and keep things tight-sometimes all in the same shift.

If you need clear lanes and lots of supervision, this won't be your spot.

The Role
Depending on your experience, you'll handle some or all of the following:

Prepare Spanish-style tapas with speed and consistency

Make cocktails, wine, beer, and espresso-clean builds, no slop

Work the crowd: read the room, talk to guests, keep energy up

Keep your station stocked, clean, and under control

Move fast when it gets busy without losing your head

For the right candidates, this role can scale into shift lead or management responsibilities.

For Managerial-Caliber Candidates

If you've run bars or restaurants before, we want you in the mix.

That may include:

Leading shifts and setting service standards

Training staff and holding the line on quality

Scheduling, ordering, and basic inventory control

Being hands-on during service-not hiding in the back

Managers here work. Period.

What "Crisp" Means

You don't panic

Your station never looks like a crime scene

You show up prepared

You handle pressure without drama

You leave things better than you found them

What We're Looking For

Experience in at least one of the following: bar, kitchen, coffee

Strong service instincts and situational awareness

Comfort in a busy, high-traffic environment

Spanish food or cocktail experience is a plus, not required

Leadership experience welcomed, not mandatory

Why This Is a Good Deal

High-visibility Union Square location

Focused menu, clean concept, adult ownership

Bottom Line

This place is for operators, not tourists. If you can cook, pour, talk, and keep things tight, you'll do well here. If you can also lead, even better.
