Bartender / Mixologist
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the job description and decide which sections to include.
The posting includes:
- Description (intro) about Sava's, looking for experienced bartender/mixologist. Could be "About the role" or "About the job". Could be a short paragraph.
- "What We’re Looking For" bullet list (experience, knowledge, passion, organization, communication, teamwork, willingness to help, attention to cleanliness, ability to follow recipes, interest in learning, previous serving experience a plus). That's a list of requirements/qualifications.
- "What Success Looks Like at Sava’s" paragraph describing expectations.
- "What You’ll Do" bullet list of duties.
- "Open Interviews Every Monday" details about interview schedule. This is application instructions? It's about interview times. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should drop that.
- "Who Will Thrive Here" paragraph describing ideal candidate.
- "Join Sava’s and help us create exceptional hospitality..." closing paragraph.
- "Requirements Job Requirements" then a list of specific requirements (Safety First, High-Volume Experience, Hospitality, Teamwork, Bar Prep, Cleaning & Organization, Product Knowledge, Consistency, Communication, Sense of Urgency, Reliability, Professionalism, Physical Requirements, Serving Experience). That's a detailed list.
- "Our Standard At Sava’s..." paragraph.
Thus we have substantive content for sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (What We're Looking For + Requirements list maybe combined), Qualifications/Skills maybe overlapping. But we need to avoid thin sections. We can combine similar content into sections: "About the role" (intro + Who Will Thrive Here + Our Standard maybe). "Responsibilities" (What You'll Do). "Requirements" (What We're Looking For + Requirements list). Possibly "Skills" could be separate but we can incorporate into Requirements.
We must not create Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections because none are given. The posting does not mention pay, schedule, benefits. So we omit those.
We must not include Open Interviews info (application instructions). Remove that.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all bullet points and paragraphs except those removed.
We need to format using
for section headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.

About the role
Sava’s is looking for an experienced, energetic Bartender / Mixologist to join our team in downtown Ann Arbor. We are a high-volume restaurant built around great hospitality, strong teamwork, and creating memorable experiences for our guests. We are looking for bartenders who can do more than make a great cocktail. We want people who genuinely enjoy connecting with guests, take pride in their craft, and understand that a strong bar is built by a strong team.
Who Will Thrive Here: You’ll do well at Sava’s if you are someone who loves being busy, enjoys people, takes pride in your work, and believes that great hospitality is a team sport. We want bartenders who are confident without ego, dependable, curious, coachable, and ready to contribute. If you love great drinks, high-volume service, connecting with guests, and working alongside a team that wants to continue getting better, we’d love to meet you.
Our Standard: At Sava’s, bartending is bigger than making drinks. A great bartender protects the guest experience, keeps the bar safe and clean, helps prep before the rush, supports teammates during the rush, and leaves the bar better than they found it. Hospitality, safety, teamwork, cleanliness, and preparation are all part of the job.
But we need to be careful not to duplicate content. The "Who Will Thrive Here" and "Our Standard" paragraphs are separate; we can include them as part of About the role.
Now Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
- Prepare and serve cocktails, wine, beer, and other beverages accurately and efficiently
- Provide warm, knowledgeable, and engaging service to bar guests
- Build relationships with regulars and create memorable experiences for new guests
- Maintain strong knowledge of our cocktail, wine, beer, food, and spirits programs
- Complete bar preparation, stocking, cleaning, and closing responsibilities
- Work closely with servers, support staff, managers, and the culinary team
- Maintain quality and consistency during both slower periods and high-volume rushes
- Contribute to a positive, professional, team-first culture
- Continue developing your knowledge and skills as a bartender and hospitality professional
Now Requirements: combine "What We’re Looking For" and the detailed Requirements list.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate items that appear in both lists. Let's extract both.
What We’re Looking For bullet list:
- Experience working behind the bar in a high-volume restaurant or bar environment
- Strong cocktail, spirits, beer, and wine knowledge
- A genuine passion for hospitality and connecting with guests
- Ability to stay organized, positive, and efficient during high-volume service
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
- Willingness to jump in and help teammates wherever needed
- Attention to cleanliness, preparation, consistency, and presentation
- Ability to follow recipes and execute cocktails consistently
- Interest in continuing to learn about cocktails, spirits, wine, and hospitality
- Previous serving experience is a plus
Now the Requirements list (under "Job Requirements"):
- Safety First: Follow all food safety, alcohol service, sanitation, and workplace safety standards at all times. Maintain a safe bar environment for guests and team members.
- High-Volume Experience: Ability to work efficiently and accurately in a fast-paced, high-volume restaurant environment.
- Hospitality: Genuinely enjoy connecting with guests, creating memorable experiences, and providing warm, professional service.
- Teamwork: Work as a true teammate. Support bartenders, servers, support staff, hosts, managers, and the culinary team whenever needed.
- Bar Prep: Assist with daily bar preparation, including garnishes, juices, syrups, batching, stocking, and other assigned prep responsibilities.
- Cleaning & Organization: Maintain a clean, organized, and fully stocked bar throughout the entire shift. Cleaning is everyone's responsibility, not just opening or closing side work.
- Product Knowledge: Maintain strong working knowledge of cocktails, spirits, beer, wine, and the Sava’s food menu.
- Consistency: Follow recipes, specifications, portions, and presentation standards every time.
- Communication: Communicate clearly with teammates and leadership, especially during high-volume service.
- Sense of Urgency: Move with purpose and understand how to prioritize tasks during busy periods.
- Reliability: Arrive on time, prepared, in proper uniform, and ready to contribute to the team.
- Professionalism: Maintain a positive attitude, accept coaching, and contribute to a respectful work environment.
- Physical Requirements: Ability to stand for extended periods, move quickly through the restaurant, bend, reach, and safely lift and carry bar supplies, cases, and equipment as needed.
- Serving Experience: Previous serving experience is a plus and can be especially valuable when supporting guests, taking food orders, and understanding full-service restaurant operations.
We need to include all these items. Some overlap with What We’re Looking For (e.g., high-volume experience, hospitality, teamwork, product knowledge, consistency, communication, reliability, professionalism, serving experience). We should not duplicate identical content; but we can combine them, ensuring we keep all distinct points. Overlap is okay if we deduplicate? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we deduplicate, we might lose some nuance but not lose information if the content is same. Overlap is okay to keep but might be considered duplication. Safer to keep both but maybe combine similar points into one bullet that captures both. However that could be summarizing. Better to keep both but ensure we don't have exact duplicate lines. We can merge similar points but keep nuance.
Let's create a Requirements section with bullet points that incorporate all points without exact duplicates.
We'll list:
- Experience working behind the bar in a high-volume restaurant or bar environment
- Strong cocktail, spirits, beer, and wine knowledge
- A genuine passion for hospitality and connecting with guests
- Ability to stay organized, positive, and efficient during high-volume service
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
- Willingness to jump in and help teammates wherever needed
- Attention to cleanliness, preparation, consistency, and presentation
- Ability to follow recipes and execute cocktails consistently
- Interest in continuing to learn about cocktails, spirits, wine, and hospitality
- Previous serving experience is a plus
- Follow all food safety, alcohol service, sanitation, and workplace safety standards; maintain a safe bar environment
- Ability to work efficiently and accurately in a fast-paced, high-volume restaurant environment (maybe redundant with first point)
- Genuinely enjoy connecting with guests, creating memorable experiences, and providing warm, professional service (similar to passion)
- Work as a true teammate; support bartenders, servers, support staff, hosts, managers, and culinary team whenever needed
- Assist with daily bar preparation, including garnishes, juices, syrups, batching, stocking, and other assigned prep responsibilities
- Maintain a clean, organized, and fully stocked bar throughout the entire shift; cleaning is everyone's responsibility
- Maintain strong working knowledge of cocktails, spirits, beer, wine, and the Sava’s food menu
- Follow recipes, specifications, portions, and presentation standards every time
- Communicate clearly with teammates and leadership, especially during high-volume service
- Move with purpose and understand how to prioritize tasks during busy periods
- Arrive on time, prepared, in proper uniform, and ready to contribute to the team
- Maintain a positive attitude, accept coaching, and contribute to a respectful work environment
- Ability to stand for extended periods, move quickly through the restaurant, bend, reach, and safely lift and carry bar supplies, cases, and equipment as needed
- Previous serving experience is a plus and can be especially valuable when supporting guests, taking food orders, and understanding full-service restaurant operations
We see many duplicates. To avoid duplication, we should consolidate similar points. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Consolidating similar points could be considered summarizing, but if we keep the essence of each point without losing detail, it's okay. However we risk losing some nuance like "Safety First: Follow all food safety, alcohol service, sanitation, and workplace safety standards at all times. Maintain a safe bar environment for guests and team members." That's a distinct point not covered elsewhere. So we need to keep
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
