Job Description

About the Role

Rocky Mountain Paddleboard (RMP) is hiring friendly, reliable Café & Bar Team Members to join our Lakeside Café team for the summer season.

This is a behind-the-counter service role where you’ll take guest orders, prepare drinks & snacks, and help create a great experience for visitors spending the day at the Boulder Reservoir.

Think part barista, part bartender, part hospitality host — all in a fun lakefront environment.

Our café sits right at the Boulder Reservoir and serves guests enjoying time on the water. Summer weekends can be busy and high-energy, so we’re looking for team members who enjoy staying active, working with people, and keeping service moving while maintaining a friendly, welcoming vibe.

In addition to daily café service, our team also supports paddle board events and athlete events at the Reservoir, helping serve food and drinks during these special programs.

No craft cocktail experience is required — our beverage program is simple and easy to learn.

At RMP, we operate with our S.T.O.K.E. values — Service, Teamwork, Ownership, Knowledge, and Energy . We’re looking for team members who bring a positive attitude, take pride in their work, and enjoy contributing to a strong team environment.

Schedule

  • Part-time: 15–20 hours per week

  • 5–6 hour shifts

  • Maintain cleanliness and organization of the café and bar area

  • Help keep the bar stocked and ready for high-volume summer service

  • Support light retail organization and restocking

  • Assist with food & beverage service during paddle board and athlete events

All service is completed behind the café bar/counter — there is no table service.

  • Friendly, positive, and guest-focused

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment

  • Reliable and punctual

  • 18+ years old (required to serve alcohol)

  • Able to obtain Colorado TIPS certification

  • Able to obtain Food Handler or ServSafe certification

  • Enjoy working in a summer, lakefront environment

  • Are looking for consistent seasonal work

Physical Requirements
