Job Description

About us

Margo’s is a vibrant restaurant inspired by the bold flavours of Mexico. Known for exceptional food, handcrafted cocktails, and genuine hospitality, we deliver a fast-paced, energetic dining experience where great drinks are a huge part of what we do.


We’re part of Future Hospitality Group (FHG), a leading local operator with six unique venues, committed to pushing the boundaries of hospitality and exceeding guest expectations.


About the role

We’re looking for a part-time or full-time Bartender to join the Margo’s team.

This is a high-volume, docket bar where speed, consistency, and attention to detail matter. One minute you’ll be shaking the perfect Margarita, the next you’ll be sending out a Frozen Marg Tree while the printer keeps rolling.


What you’ll do

  • High-volume cocktail service: Produce cocktails quickly, accurately, and consistently during busy services.
  • Docket management: Stay on top of a fast-moving docket rail and keep drinks flowing to the floor.
  • Quality & consistency: Follow recipes, specs, glassware, and garnish standards, even when the bar is pumping.
  • Bar setup: Keep your station stocked, clean, organised, and ready for volume.
  • Teamwork: Communicate clearly with the bar and FOH teams to keep service running smoothly.
  • Hospitality standards: Uphold host responsibility, health & safety, and FHG standards.



Who you are

  • You thrive in a busy, high-volume bar and enjoy the energy of a full restaurant service.
  • You work quickly without sacrificing quality or consistency.
  • You’re confident managing multiple dockets and priorities at once.
  • Previous cocktail or high-volume bartending experience is strongly preferred.
  • You have solid cocktail fundamentals and confidence using standard bar tools and techniques.
  • You stay calm and focused when the docket printer doesn’t.
  • You’re organised, proactive, reliable, and a strong team player.
  • You align with our values: Aspirational, Collaboration, Communication, Consistency, and Culture.



Why join FHG?

  • Staff perks: 50% off at all six FHG venues and 25% off at four partner venues across Queenstown.
  • Professional development: Free online training to grow your skills and prepare for future opportunities.
  • Wellbeing benefits: Discounted gym memberships, Pilates discounts, wellbeing programmes, and mental health support.
  • Career progression: Opportunities to develop your bartending, beverage, and leadership skills across FHG venues.
  • An Employer of Choice: Join a business committed to raising the standard of hospitality in New Zealand.
