You’re bored, and we’re open!

We're looking to add 2 staff members to join our Receipt Input crew. Specific days needed are Friday nights and every other Saturday nights.

When people come in, you see our door staff, our bartenders and our barbacks. What you don't see is the staff upstairs settling receipts real time. Due to our high volume, we end up with lots and lots of receipts a night that need to be settled into the system. In order to get all our staff out at a reasonable hour we added this position a few years ago to speed things up and it's proven to be such necessity!

If you'd like to get your foot in the door with us but don't have experience for the behind the bar jobs, this is a great position.

No experience necessary but attention to detail and accuracy is certainly needed.

Please email us for an interview at [email protected]

We are hiring Security for both The Spoke and The Rec Room. Because of the amount of seniors we currently have on staff, we're encouraging underclassman to apply too!

WE'RE HIRING BARTENDERS AND BARBACKS!

Bartender Qualifications:

• Experience as an actual bartender (not a server bringing drinks to tables) in a fast pace establishment is absolutely necessary.
• Night and weekend flexibility
• Maintaining a clean workspace
• Ability to multitask while being fast and efficient
• Willing to come in for last minute call ins when we get a unexpected rush
• Must work at least 1 week prior to classes starting and 1-2 weeks AFTER graduation.

Barback qualifications:

• Experience as a barback or similar position preferred but not required
• Must be able to lift at least 100lbs and change kegs
• Speed, efficiency and attention to detail is needed
• Flexible scheduling with nights and weekend availability needed.

While Spoke and The Rec are two complete different entities, we do have the same owners and Operations Manager for the businesses. Staff at each place remains completely separate, meaning you either work for The Spoke or The Rec. To speed the hiring process up we are putting out one post. If you prefer to apply to work at one or the other, please use the appropriate email. If you'd like to apply to both just please specify that in just one single email to either location.
