If you thrive in a high-energy environment, love connecting with people, and can balance multiple tables with a smile, you'll fit right in.
Key Responsibilities
1. Guest Hospitality & Ordering
- Greet guests warmly, seat them efficiently, and present menus.
- Memorize our extensive menu, including daily blueprints, breakfast-all-day options, and rotating desserts.
- Take food and beverage orders accurately, using our POS system, and repeating orders back to ensure precision.
- Anticipate guest needs—especially keeping coffee mugs and water glasses topped off without being asked.
2. Service Execution & Side Work
- Deliver hot food and cold drinks promptly from the kitchen/service bar to tables.
- Pre-bus tables by clearing empty plates, napkins, and glassware as guests finish.
- Total receipts, process cash and card payments accurately, and make correct change.
- Perform opening, running, and closing side duties (e.g., rolling silverware, wiping down menus, restocking condiment caddies, refilling sugar dispensers).
3. Efficiency & Cleanliness
- Clean and sanitize tables, booths, and highchairs immediately after guests leave to ensure quick turnover.
- Cooperate closely with the short-order cooks and counter staff to keep orders moving smoothly.
- Handle any guest complaints with patience, bringing in a manager if a situation requires extra attention.
