Bar Manager

Premium Craft Ice Startup | Bengaluru | Full-time, on-site

We're building a premium craft ice business serving cocktail bars, restaurants, hotels, and luxury events in Bengaluru. We're looking for our first hire: a resourceful, commercially minded hospitality professional who wants to help build a business from the ground up.

You might be a bartender ready for a bigger challenge, a bar manager who knows how to keep things moving, or someone who has run a hospitality business. What matters most is that you take ownership, build relationships, and get things done.

What you'll do

• Win our first customers: Visit venues, meet bartenders and decision-makers, run product demonstrations, and turn trials into recurring orders.
• Help launch operations: Coordinate equipment suppliers, production setup, packaging, storage, and delivery arrangements.
• Stay close to customers: Gather feedback, resolve issues, follow up consistently, and earn repeat business.
• Own the details: Track orders, costs, payments, and delivery commitments.
• Get hands-on: Pitch in with packing, deliveries, and troubleshooting when needed. This is not a desk-only role.

Who we're looking for

• Hospitality experience: A background in bartending, bar management, beverage sales, catering, events, or running a related business.
• Commercial confidence: Comfortable walking into a venue, starting a conversation, asking for the order, and following up.
• An owner's mindset: You spot problems early, propose solutions, and don't wait for step-by-step instructions.
• Reliability: You move quickly without compromising hygiene, product quality, or commitments.
• Local knowledge: Bengaluru hospitality contacts and Kannada proficiency are advantages.

Why join

Work directly with the founder and help shape the business from day one. As the company grows, there is scope to build and lead a team.
