Bar Back

ABOUT TOPGOLF

Topgolf is where golf meets a great time. We're a high-energy sports entertainment venue where every shift is different, every guest brings their own energy, and the people who work here make it all happen. If you're looking for a place to grow, have fun, and be part of something bigger than a job description, you're in the right place.

WHAT WE’RE SEEKING

Are you someone who thrives behind the scenes, keeps things stocked and clean before anyone has to ask, and loves being part of a high-energy bar team? Do you move fast, stay organized, and take pride in being the reason the bar never runs out of what it needs? Can you support a full bartending team during peak service without skipping a beat?

We’re looking for a Bar Back who brings hustle, attention to detail, and genuine care for the guest experience to every shift. You’ll keep the bar running at full speed by ensuring it’s always stocked, clean, and ready — and you’ll do it with a smile. If you love working in a fast bar environment and you take pride in the work that makes great service possible, this is your role.

THE ROLE

The Bar Back is the engine behind the bar. You’ll support the bartending team by keeping the bar stocked, clean, and fully operational throughout every shift. This role requires speed, organization, and a genuine commitment to helping the team deliver best-in-class service — because when the bar runs well, every guest experience is better.

This role requires a flexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays, with availability to work during peak periods, special events, and high-volume seasons.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Stock and Maintain the Bar

Keep all bar stations, refrigerators, cupboards, and storage areas stocked with glassware, utensils, garnishes, and supplies to designated par levels

Monitor bar inventory throughout the shift and restock proactively before levels get low

Move bar supplies from storage to the work area efficiently and safely, by hand or using hand trucks

Maintain cleanliness and organization across all bar areas and common spaces throughout the shift

Support the Bar Team

Assist bartenders in caring for guests in whatever way is needed — speed and flexibility are the job

Observe all responsible alcohol service guidelines to protect guests and the community

Greet guests you encounter in a friendly and approachable way, contributing to the overall guest experience

Communicate clearly with bartenders and management to flag supply shortages, cleanliness issues, or anything that could slow the bar down

Keep the Bar Safe and Guest-Ready

Clean and sanitize bar surfaces, tools, glassware, and equipment consistently throughout the shift

Ensure the bar area always meets Topgolf’s standards for cleanliness, safety, and presentation

Report any equipment issues or safety concerns to management promptly

Demonstrate Topgolf's Core Values in every interaction: Fun, One Team, Excellence, Courage, and Caring
