TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE - NOT JUST TABLES & CHAIRS

The Apex Grille at M1 Concourse's X Center is looking for experienced, engaging bartenders for our opening team. We're building a restaurant where polished service doesn't mean scripted service. We want people who can read a table, know their menu, understand pacing and make guests feel genuinely welcome. You'll develop strong knowledge of our food, cocktails, beer and wine; guide guests through the menu; communicate allergies accurately; and work closely with bartenders, runners and our culinary team. Polished-casual, upscale-casual or high-volume full-service experience is preferred. We're looking for hospitality professionals with personality, awareness, professionalism and genuine warmth. If hospitality is something you practice rather than something you perform, we'd like to meet you.

About M1 Concourse
M1 Concourse blends style and speed, offering the perfect automotive events and entertainment venue at our 87-acre property including a motorsports community of Private Garages and its own private Motorsports Club. This state-of-the-art facility features indoor and outdoor spaces that overlook the 1.5-mile Champion Motor Speedway performance driving track. M1 can transform any event into a one-of-a-kind exclusive experience. The M1 Concourse is conveniently located on the legendary Woodward Ave. in the city of Pontiac and is less than 35 miles from Detroit’s Metropolitan International Airport. In short, M1 Concourse is the epicenter of all things automotive in Metro Detroit, providing a place where enthusiasts can keep, show, and exercise their vehicles in the company of other enthusiasts!

M1 Concourse sits on a historic site that has been home to a series of auto manufacturing facilities for the past 100+ years. In 1905, a large portion of the property was developed into a factory by the Rapid Motor Company for the production of municipal vehicles. In 1908, a combination of Rapid, Reliance Motor Truck and Crescent Motors became General Motors Truck Co. During the decades GM owned the property, it was home to a variety of manufacturing plants and quality assurance facilities. The facility was decommissioned in 2008 and all but one building on the property was demolished. In 2011, the property was transferred to the RACER Trust, which was created by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to position for redevelopment properties and other facilities owned by the former General Motors Corp. before its bankruptcy. After completing a significant amount of due diligence on the suitability of the property for the intended development and obtaining the proper clearances and approvals from the Environmental Protection Agency, State of Michigan, Oakland County and the City of Pontiac, M1 Concourse acquired the land on August 6, 2014. Now the property has been reconnected with its 100+ year automotive history.
