STRIKING UP FUN SINCE 2006:
Big Al’s first opened its doors in 2006, and yes, there’s a real Al (no, he’s not that big, but he’s pretty awesome). What started as a local establishment in Vancouver, Washington has now grown to five locations across the West Coast. While we’ve expanded, we’ve never lost our small, family-owned vibe. At Big Al’s, you get the best of both worlds: the support and structure with the personal touch and the freedom for your voice to be heard. If you want to work for a place that values your ideas and lets you be part of a close-knit team, we’re the perfect fit!
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
- Someone with serving or bar experience who knows how to keep things smooth and guests happy.
- Experience with a POS System. Toast is a plus!
- Someone who is a people person — friendly, confident, and great face-to-face
- First-class level of guest service skills
- Team player vibes only – we're all in this together
- Someone who can handle sales transactions like a pro and know how to upsell fun
- Safety matters to you (and us!)
- Ability to obtain Food Handlers and Alcohol Serving Certifications
- Must be available to work weekends, nights and holidays
- Must be 21 years or older (must be 19 years or older in Idaho)
PHYSICAL DEMANDS:
We want everyone to feel successful in this role, and we’re happy to make reasonable accommodations for team members with disabilities. That said, here’s what the job usually looks like day-to-day:
- You’ll be on your feet a lot
- Lift up to 25 lbs? Pretty often
- Up
