Full Job Description

Who We Are

Benny's is a straightforward neighborhood restaurant in Portland, Maine, specializing in Philly-inspired, Italian-American cuisine. Our approach to hospitality is simple: deliver high-quality, consistent food and ensure every guest feels welcome. We prioritize excellent execution and quality ingredients without being overly flashy. Ultimately, we aim to be a reliable spot where locals can enjoy a weeknight dinner, a quick bar bite, or a casual gathering with friends.

We’re a small, hands-on team that takes pride in what we’re creating and how we show up for each other. If you’re someone who wants to be part of building a respected neighborhood place, where the food is dialed in, the vibe is relaxed, and the work matters. We’d love to have you join us!

What You’ll Do

Who You Are

You move with urgency but don’t sacrifice quality.
You’re a team player. You jump in to help, communicate clearly, and understand that a smooth service takes everyone working together.
You’re comfortable taking direction and always looking to get better.
You keep your station clean, organized, and ready because you know a tight kitchen runs on preparation and discipline.
You’re excited to contribute to the kind of kitchen culture that regulars feel when they walk through the door.
You show up reliably, ready to work, and ready to contribute to a positive, no-drama environment.
