Bartender | Margo's

Margo’s is a vibrant restaurant inspired by the bold flavours of Mexico. Known for exceptional food, handcrafted cocktails, and genuine hospitality, we deliver a fast-paced, energetic dining experience where great drinks are a huge part of what we do.

We’re part of Future Hospitality Group (FHG), a leading local operator with six unique venues, committed to pushing the boundaries of hospitality and exceeding guest expectations.

We’re looking for a part-time or full-time Bartender to join the Margo’s team.

This is a high-volume, docket bar where speed, consistency, and attention to detail matter. One minute you’ll be shaking the perfect Margarita, the next you’ll be sending out a Frozen Marg Tree while the printer keeps rolling.

What you’ll do

- High-volume cocktail service: Produce cocktails quickly, accurately, and consistently during busy services.

- Docket management: Stay on top of a fast-moving docket rail and keep drinks flowing to the floor.

- Quality & consistency: Follow recipes, specs, glassware, and garnish standards, even when the bar is pumping.

- Bar setup: Keep your station stocked, clean, organised, and ready for volume.

- Teamwork: Communicate clearly with the bar and FOH teams to keep service running smoothly.

- Hospitality standards: Uphold host responsibility, health & safety, and FHG standards.

Who you are

- You thrive in a busy, high-volume bar and enjoy the energy of a full restaurant service.

- You work quickly without sacrificing quality or consistency.

- You’re confident managing multiple dockets and priorities at once.

- Previous cocktail or high-volume bartending experience is strongly preferred.

- You have solid cocktail fundamentals and confidence using standard bar tools and techniques.

- You stay calm and focused when the docket printer doesn’t.

- You’re organised, proactive, reliable, and a strong team player.

- You align with our values: Aspirational, Collaboration, Communication, Consistency, and Culture.

Why join FHG?

- Staff perks: 50% off at all six FHG venues and 25% off at four partner venues across Queenstown.

- Professional development: Free online training to grow your skills and prepare for future opportunities.

- Wellbeing benefits: Discounted gym memberships, Pilates discounts, wellbeing programmes, and mental health support.

- Career progression: Opportunities to develop your bartending, beverage, and leadership skills across FHG venues.

- An Employer of Choice: Join a business committed to raising the standard of hospitality in New Zealand.

If you love a busy bar, know your way around a cocktail shaker, and get a kick out of smashing through a full docket rail while keeping every Margarita on point, we’d love to hear from you.
