Job Summary

We are seeking a fast, friendly, and reliable Server to join our busy diner team. As the face of our restaurant, you’ll welcome regulars and newcomers alike, taking orders quickly and keeping the coffee flowing. 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.

Skills & Qualifications

Experience: Previous experience in a fast-paced restaurant, diner, or coffee shop is preferred but not required. We are happy to train anyone with the right attitude.
Speed & Multitasking: Ability to manage tables simultaneously during a heavy breakfast or weekend rush without losing your composure.
Communication: Friendly, energetic personality with strong communication skills. You should enjoy talking to a diverse crowd of daily regulars and tourists.
Availability: Flexibility to work typical diner hours, which may include early morning shifts, late nights, weekends, and holidays.
Physical Stamina: Ability to stay on your feet for an entire shift, carry heavy trays of food and drinks, and move quickly safely on slick floors.

Competitive base hourly wage + share of the tip pool

A fun, tight-knit team environment
