Bar Manager Opening
We are looking for any individuals interested in managing the bar this season as their volunteer hours. Unlike past years, we are trying to tighten up accounting procedures in order to meet standards expected from organizations which provide money to the Pirates (for example, grants, casinos, sponsors, etc) so it is essential that the individual who decides to take on this job understand the requirements of the position. We will look at all applicants and a board committee will select from those applicants. Organizational skills are a MUST! This position would MORE than cover your 24 hour volunteer commitment.
The following are the main responsibilities of the bar manager:
- prepare a schedule of bartenders and ensure they are showing up for their shifts
- train bar tenders on deposit procedures, lock up procedures and how to use the till
- reconcile inventory with receipts and deposit slips
- ensure stock is ordered, paid for, and picked up
- ensure staff shirts are accounted for and washed as needed
The bar manager DOES NOT have to:
- be the sole bartender — no one expects one person to always commit to being behind the bar
- do all the tasks on the above list without help — the tasks above are what the bar manager has to ensure are being done. This does not mean they have to do them all themselves. Similar scenario — Tom Toma is in charge of making sure the land is taken care of but he is NOT EXPECTED to do it all by himself. He is EXPECTED to organize people to do it and make sure it is being done properly.
- organize the banquet — there will be a banquet committee with whom the bar manager will work
There has been a procedure developed for things such as inventory, stock purchasing, and deposits that has been approved by the board and will be discussed with any of the interested parties. Any interested individuals are to submit an email to Kady Martin at ktowns@ualberta.ca. This email should include a small statement describing your skills and how you think you will be able to handle such a commitment to the club. Depending on the applicants, there is the possibility of job sharing — individuals who are interested in job sharing would need to explain how they plan to divide the work and what their organizational system would look like. Please submit your emails by November 30th, 2011.
