Barback


Description

It’s not the size of the paddle, but how you use it!

Do you have the ping pong skills of Forrest Gump, combined with the charm of Will Smith (Hitch, not Happiness) with the organization of Marie Kondo?

…if not, don’t worry! We will settle for someone with a big personality, experience in hospitality and a genuine passion to play a big part in our ongoing success!

 

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Bags of personality to go with a big smile

• Articulate with the gift of the gab (both verbal and written)

• Lots of energy – really!

• Someone who is calm under pressure, with a can do attitude, lots of energy and stamina

• A willingness to learn and increase their knowledge of the bar

 

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Assisting the bar team to ensure smooth running of service – there is a lot of manual lifting in this job

• Help the team with guest orders & preparation of the bar

• Following health and safety procedures in line with Covid-19 protocol

 

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

• FUN

….it really is as simple as that!

• ME TIME

Paid time off to develop your mental well-being

• CYCLE TO WORK

Interest free loan to buy a bike to use for transport to work

• WAGESTREAM

WHAT IS BOUNCE?

Bounce has been delivering fun nights out for groups since it launched in 2012 and overnight it turned out we had created an entirely new experiential leisure category. Ping pong remains hugely popular and accessible for all ages and it is best experienced as with friends or colleagues hosted by one of Bounce’s very own Games Gurus.

Bounce also offers its own proprietary tech enabled game, Wonderball, which uses projection mapping technology to create various interactive games, both competitive and collaborative. Wonderball 2.0 is in development and will launch in summer 2021.

We currently have two venues in London, one in Chicago and more planned so if you're a ping pong addict, a fan of amazing cocktails or just love a great night out

you should try working for us!

 

WHAT IS STATE OF PLAY?

State of Play is a highly innovative creator and operator of technology enabled experiential leisure concepts. For nearly a decade since launching its first concept, Bounce, in London in 2012 the State of Play team has gone on to create, launch and operate several more industry leading experiential concepts in both the UK and the US.

The engaging nature of the gameplay created from taking long established and much-loved activities and reimagining them combined with the venues themselves creates truly playful and memorable social environments, and this can be seen in both our Bounce venues and Hijingo. Curating a state of play for our guests is at the very core of our DNA and what our amazing teams are striving to deliver every day.
