Entry Level

Barback

Department: Food Experience

Location: Harvest in the Gardens (HITG), Nassau, Bahamas

Behind Every Great Bar Is a Great Support Team

At Harvest in the Gardens (HITG), exceptional hospitality is built through teamwork.

Harvest in the Gardens is a completely alcohol-free environment. Our Barbacks support a vibrant, elevated beverage program built around handcrafted mocktails, specialty beverages, and creative non-alcoholic drinks—no alcohol is sold or served at HITG.

Our Bartenders create memorable guest experiences at the bar, but they cannot do it alone. Behind smooth, efficient service is a Barback who keeps the bar stocked, organized, clean, and ready for whatever the shift brings.

We're looking for a dependable, energetic, and team-focused Barback to support our Bartenders and help maintain exceptional service throughout our full-service restaurant.

If you enjoy working in a fast-paced hospitality environment, take pride in staying one step ahead, and aren't afraid to jump in wherever you're needed, this could be the role for you.

About the Role

As a Barback, you'll provide direct operational support to our Bartenders by ensuring the bar remains clean, organized, properly stocked, and service-ready throughout each shift.

You'll replenish beverages, glassware, ice, garnishes, supplies, and other bar essentials; maintain clean work areas; assist with setup and breakdown; and respond quickly when Bartenders need support.

This is a hands-on role where speed, awareness, organization, and teamwork matter.

You'll work closely with Bartenders and the broader restaurant team to help ensure guests receive prompt, professional, and seamless service.
