Bartender

Umami Riot was born from a simple idea: pair joyful hospitality with uncompromising craftsmanship. Founded by Chef Tim Cushman and sake expert Nancy Cushman, our restaurants celebrate bold flavor, precision, and a deep respect for Japanese foodways – translated through a distinctly Boston lens. At Umami Riot, we’re not here to follow the rules of hospitality, we’re here to rewrite them – with heart, craft and fearless creativity.

Bianca is a vibrant blend of wood-fired cooking, craft cocktails, and warm, modern hospitality and we’re searching for someone who brings that same energy.At Bianca, we do more than serve food and drinks we create moments. Whether it’s a weeknight pizza and cocktail or a celebratory dinner, every guest experience is shaped by our team’s attention to detail, warmth, and commitment to excellence.

We’re looking for a Bartender who commands the bar, connects with guests, and brings the energy.

• Balance craft, speed, and personality with ease, even when the bar is packed and the energy is high
• Build real rapport with guests, making the bar feel personal, welcoming, and alive
• Execute service with precision using the POS accurately, following steps of service, and ensuring proper glassware, setup, and presentation
• Know the menu inside and out food, beer, wine, cocktails and stay curious about learning more
• Keep the bar clean, organized, and service-ready; execute opening, closing, and restocking with purpose; support all service channels; communicate guest feedback; serve alcohol responsibly; jump in where needed; and show up sharp and professional for nights, weekends, and holidays
