We at Bettina are currently looking to hire a talented and experienced bartender to join our front of house team. The role includes making artisanal cocktails using high-end and seasonal ingredients in a fast paced environment, as well as often serving guests at the bar where our full menu is available.
We are very focused on our sourcing, for both food, wine and cocktails, so candidates should be excited to learn the details about our various vendors and be able to articulate those details to guests. The job requires an innate sense of hospitality and a genuine interest in food and wine. We have a robust cocktail program with a focus on Italian amaros and vermouths, and the majority of our syrups, shrubs, and mixers are made in house. We source spirits from small, artisan vendors and strive to update our cocktail menu every few months to account for what's available at the Santa Barbara Certified Farmer's Market where our chefs shop twice a week. Our main priority is to create a positive working environment, where everyone helps each other to create a memorable experience for our guests.
Subsidized health insurance is offered to full time employees. Previous full-service experience required.
Bettina was opened by Rachel Greenspan and Brendan Smith in October of 2018. The husband-and-wife team moved to Santa Barbara County in 2014 from New York City, where Rachel worked in specialty food sales and Brendan worked as the head baker at Roberta’s pizza in Brooklyn. After catering with their mobile wood-fired pizza oven for several years, the restaurant is the next step in the couple’s mission to build community through hospitality and good food. Located in Santa Barbara in the historic Montecito Country Mart and a half mile from Butterfly Beach, Bettina is a neighborhood restaurant serving naturally leavened wood-fired pizzas and simple, seasonal Italian-inspired fare.
If you're ready to be a part of an exciting project with a dynamic, creative team we would love to hear from you.
