Bartender

Full‑time / Part‑time

You don’t tend the bar here.

You run the room.

At Mad Taco, we’re about fresh‑squeezed cocktails, scratch‑made food, and energy you can feel the second you walk in. Fast hands. Loud laughs. Good chaos—in the best way.

The Big Picture

At Mad Taco, we don’t just "make drinks"—we curate an escape. We’re looking for Bartenders who are obsessed with the details and ready to be a part of a high-performance team. If you live for the rush of a perfect service and believe that a drink can be a work of art, you’re in the right place.

The Mad Taco DNA

We don’t do boring "corporate values." We live by a code that keeps us at the top of our game:

  • Own Your Craft: You don't just “make a drink”; you present it. You take deep pride in every glass that leaves the bar.
  • No Ego, All Team: We’re a family. You lead with kindness, build trust, and realize that we win (or lose) together.
  • Obsessively Excellent: "Good enough" isn't in your vocabulary. You hold the line on quality because our guests deserve the best version of us every time.
  • Growth Mindset: You’re a work in progress—and you love it. You crave feedback because you know it’s the secret sauce to leveling up.
  • Real Talk: No gatekeeping. You communicate openly, stay honest, and keep the energy clear and collaborative.
  • The Vibe Check: You bring the heat to the bar and the warmth to the team. We work hard, but we make sure everyone leaves with a smile.

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • A Culture of "Yes": We’re always looking for better ways to do things. Your voice actually matters.
  • Fast-Paced, Never Dull: If you hate staring at the clock, this is your sanctuary.
  • Growth Potential: We aren't just a restaurant; we’re a movement. We want to see you lead your own staff one day.

This Job Is For You If:

You move fast, smile easy, and can shake a cocktail like you mean it. You thrive under pressure, read the room, and know vibes matter just as much as drinks.

What You’ll Do

  • Build fresh, fire cocktails—no shortcuts
  • Keep the bar clean, stocked, and moving
  • Drop real recommendations guests trust
  • Bring the energy and make the bar the place to be
  • Have your team’s back, always

Perks + Benefits:

  • Fun, fast-paced environment
  • Career growth + learning opportunities
  • Competitive pay + meal discounts
  • 401K & matching
  • Profit sharing

This isn’t just a bar job. It’s a stage, a grind, a vibe. Bring your edge. Bring your smile.

Pay: $4.50/hour + tips

We aren’t just flipping tortillas. At Mad Taco, we’re bringing the soul of the Mexican streets to the heart of BG. Every taco is a tribute, every margarita is a masterpiece, and every guest is family. We cook with passion, we lead with love, and we celebrate the culture in everything we do.
If you’re tired of the "chain" life and want to build something that actually tastes like home—pull up a chair.
