Position: Cook

Philosophy:
At Bad Habits Denver, we are seeking up-beat, interesting, witty personalities with a good memory and willingness to be social. Bad Habits fosters active engagement with all of our patrons, so a knack for engaging and/or thoughtful conversation is necessary. We seek employees who can recognize someone who ‘just wants to drink in peace’ vs. someone who may be seeking some attention. A patron should never feel ignored or out-of-place. Bad Habits welcomes all (above 21) who want to enjoy fun times, good drinks and food, and be social.
Customers can drink anywhere. There are hundreds of places to eat. Bad Habits wants to provide a welcoming atmosphere and company, even if they don’t want to be chatty. We want them to feel welcome and recognized. This starts with you; you are the face and reflection of Bad Habits, and our customers should always want to stop in to see their favorite ‘friend behind the bar’, etc.
