Join The Founding Team

 


The Phase Tavern & Ink



Most jobs are just shifts.


Clock in.

Clock out.

Repeat until your soul feels like a soggy napkin.


This isn’t that.


The Phase Tavern & Ink is a luxury alternative venue combining a private membership lounge, tattoo and piercing studio, podcast stage, creative event space, and community hub.


We’re opening August 13, 2027, and we’re building the founding team now.


That means the people hired during this stage will be the ones who shape the culture, the energy, and the stories people tell about this place for years.


We’re not looking for “normal.”


We’re looking for capable weirdos, professionals with personality, and people who give a damn about building something unforgettable.





What The Phase Is



The Phase is a place where multiple worlds collide:


• a gothic luxury lounge

• a tattoo and piercing studio

• a creative venue

• a podcast studio

• a membership club

• a space for speakers, artists, bikers, thinkers, and rebels


We built it for people who like their spaces a little darker, their conversations deeper, and their communities more real.


This place is velvet and marble and candlelight.

It’s also laughter at 1am and people finding their tribe.





Who We’re Looking For



We want people who are:


• emotionally intelligent

• reliable

• creative

• respectful

• calm under pressure

• able to handle a busy venue environment


You do not need to look a certain way.


Tattooed, pierced, gothic, biker, punk, corporate escapee, art school grad, hospitality veteran… all welcome.


What matters is:


You treat people well and you take your work seriously.

We will eventually hire around 80 staff members across multiple departments.

Operations

Maintenance

Leadership and management roles will also grow from within the founding team.





Pay & Benefits



Starting hourly wages range between:


$19 – $25 per hour


Depending on role and experience.


Benefits will include:


• staff meals and drinks during shifts

• employee discounts

• professional development opportunities

• creative collaboration opportunities

• leadership growth paths


Most importantly, you’ll be part of the founding team of a completely unique venue.





Our Culture



The Phase was built on a simple idea:


A workplace can be professional and human at the same time.


We value:


kindness

respect

creativity

accountability

mental health awareness


We expect people to take their jobs seriously, but we also believe people do their best work when they feel safe, respected, and valued.


No toxic egos.

No harassment.

No cruelty.


Just people doing good work together.





The Timeline



We are currently accepting founding team applications.


Hiring will happen in phases.


2026

Resume collection and interviews begin.


2027

Training and onboarding.


August 13, 2027

Grand opening.


Some roles will begin earlier during the venue setup period.





How to Apply



Send your resume and a short introduction explaining why you want to join the founding team.


Email:


Info.thephase@gmail.com


Include:


• your resume

• the role you’re interested in

• a few sentences about yourself


Creative roles are encouraged to include portfolios.





Final Thought



The easiest way to open a venue is to hire whoever applies first.


We’re doing the opposite.


We’re building a team slowly and carefully, because the people inside the building matter more than the building itself.


If you want a job, there are thousands out there.


If you want to help build something that might actually matter to people…


we should talk.


Welcome to The Phase.

When the Weight Starts To Feel Too Heavy

Hey.... I've been sitting here staring at this blank screen for longer than I want to admit. It's funny - well, not funny - but strange, how I can feel so full of thoughts and yet have no idea how to begin putting any of them into words. My mind feels like a room filled with laundry piles I keep meaning to fold, but every time I turn around, more clothes are thrown aside. Eventually you stop trying to organize them, and you just sit in the middle of the mess, hoping no one opens the door.  That's kind of where I'm at right now.  Sitting in the middle of the mess.  Tired. Overwhelmed. A little bit numb. and very, very human.  The truth is... Life has been really rough lately. I mean the kind of rough that makes you wake up already exhausted, like you ran a marathon in your sleep.  The kind where your chest feels tight for no clear reason, and every day you're just trying to convince yourself you're fine enough to function. I've been moving on autopilot - resp...

You Are Not Too Much — You’re Carrying A Lot

If you’re reading this, I want you to pause for just a moment. Unclench your jaw. Drop your shoulders. Take one slow breath in—and let it out gently. You don’t need to be strong here. I know how easy it is to believe you’re “too much.” Too emotional. Too sensitive. Too intense. Too broken. Too complicated. Especially if you’ve spent your life being misunderstood, dismissed, or told that your pain makes other people uncomfortable. But I need you to hear this clearly: You are not too much. You are someone who has been through a lot. There is a difference. When you’ve lived through trauma, your nervous system learns to protect you in ways that don’t always look pretty. When you live with mental illness, your brain processes the world differently—not wrong, just differently. When you’ve had to survive instead of being cared for, your reactions make sense, even if others don’t understand them yet. Nothing about that makes you unlovable. Healing is not a straight line.

Borderline Is Loving Like a Wound and Being Punished For Bleeding

Living with Borderline Personality Disorder feels like being born without skin. Everything touches you too hard. Everything hurts deeper than it should. Everything matters more than you want it to. And then people look at you and ask why you’re “so dramatic,” why you “overreact,” why you “can’t just calm down.” As if you wouldn’t give anything to feel less. BPD isn’t a personality flaw. It’s not being manipulative. It’s not being toxic for fun. It’s not attention-seeking. It’s a nervous system that learned, very early on, that love is unstable and abandonment is inevitable. It’s what happens when attachment and trauma collide and set up permanent residence in your chest. It’s loving like your life depends on it—because somewhere deep inside, it always has. People love to describe BPD from the outside. Mood swings. Fear of abandonment. Intense relationships. Impulsivity. Emotional dysregulation. Cool. Clinical. Neat. That tells you absolutely nothing about what it’s li...
