About us
Kingston Nord is a Nordic-inspired farm-to-table restaurant rooted in the traditions of Scandinavian cooking — seasonal ingredients, honest flavors, and a warm, unhurried atmosphere. Our menu changes with the seasons, and our dining room is built around the spirit of hygge (hoo-gah): a place where guests feel genuinely at home.
We’re looking for a food runner who takes pride in timing, detail, and quiet hospitality — someone who helps connect the kitchen and dining room so every guest experience feels seamless.
What you’ll do
- Run food from the kitchen to guests accurately, promptly, and with care
- Learn menu items, ingredients, and table numbers to ensure dishes arrive confidently and correctly
- Support servers by helping maintain the flow of service throughout the dining room
- Describe dishes briefly and warmly when presenting them at the table
- Communicate clearly with kitchen, bar, and floor teams about timing, missing items, guest needs, and special requests
- Assist with clearing, resetting, polishing, water service, and keeping the dining room guest-ready
- Help maintain the integrity of the dining room — tables, linens, mise en place, and service stations — before, during, and after service
- Handle guest requests with calm, kindness, and attention to detail
- Support allergen and dietary communication by promptly relaying questions to servers or managers
What we’re looking for
- A warm, attentive presence — you notice what needs to be done before being asked
- Weekend availability is a must; evening availability strongly preferred
- Ability to stay calm, focused, and kind during high-volume service
- Strong communication skills and a team-first mentality
- Curiosity about food — knowledge of Nordic cuisine or farm-to-table cooking is a bonus
- Comfort working on your feet for extended periods and carrying plates/trays safely
- Attention to detail, especially with table numbers, dish names, and special instructions
- Working knowledge of point-of-sale systems or restaurant service flow is a plus
- Front of House restaurant experience is a plus, but not required
What we offer
- Competitive hourly wage + tips
- Family meal before/after each shift
- A tight-knit, respectful kitchen and floor team
- Opportunities to grow your knowledge of Nordic food, beverage, and hospitality culture
- Room to grow into server, bar, or other Front of House roles over time
