At Accor, bar jobs are more than just service roles. They’re launchpads for ambitious Heartists® who see hospitality not just as a job, but as a future.

Here are some of the responsibilities you can expect to take on in a bar job:
- You’ll take ownership of every shift, from setting up and closing down the bar to confidently recommending wines, cocktails, and food.
- With a strong focus on guest interaction, you’ll ensure every order is accurate, every need is met, and every payment is processed with care.
- You’ll maintain high standards of cleanliness, presentation, and professionalism while also managing systems, reporting, and cash handling with precision.

Starting in a bar job at Accor is just the beginning of a journey filled with endless possibilities.
Here, we see potential in every Heartist®, knowing that today’s bartender could be tomorrow’s leader, manager, or innovator.
Bar Manager
Working as a bartender teaches you to lead a team during busy service times, manage inventory, and maintain high standards of quality and customer care—all key skills for managing a bar.
As a Bar Manager, you’ll oversee daily bar operations, train and schedule staff, manage supplier relationships, and ensure every guest has a memorable experience.
Food & Beverage Manager
As a bartender, you develop an understanding of coordinating between food and drink services, handling guest requests, and maintaining smooth service flow, preparing you to oversee multiple outlets as a Food and Beverage Manager.
In this role, you’ll lead teams across restaurants and bars, manage budgets and stock, and ensure service quality meets brand standards across every F&B touchpoint.
Events Coordinator
Handling fast-paced bar environments builds your organizational skills and ability to work with different teams, equipping you to coordinate events and ensure seamless execution.
Day to day, you’ll be planning logistics, liaising with clients and suppliers, and working closely with kitchen and service teams to bring events to life without a hitch.
Hotel Operations Manager
The multitasking, decision-making, and people management required behind the bar prepare you to oversee complex hotel operations and lead diverse teams.
You’ll be responsible for the overall running of the hotel, coordinating departments like housekeeping, front office, and F&B to deliver an exceptional guest experience at every level.
