Full Job Description

Now Hiring: Server — Pink Pistachio Cafe | Somerset, New Jersey

At Pink Pistachio Cafe, every guest interaction matters. We're looking for experienced servers who are passionate about creating genuine, memorable experiences — not just taking orders, but making people feel welcome from the moment they walk in.

You must meet all of the following requirements to be considered:

Must be 18 years of age or older
Must be seeking full-time hours
Must have a minimum of 2 years of professional serving experience

Applications that do not meet all three requirements will not be considered.

What You'll Do

As a server at Pink Pistachio Cafe, you are the face of the guest experience — and that begins before anyone is even seated. You'll greet every guest warmly within seconds of arrival, manage the host stand, and ensure the flow of the floor runs smoothly. There are no reservations here, so reading the room, managing wait times, and setting the right tone from the door is just as important as what happens at the table.

Once guests are seated, you'll guide them through their visit with genuine enthusiasm — from a thoughtful drink suggestion to a dessert they didn't know they needed. You'll anticipate needs before they're asked, make honest recommendations from a menu you know and love, and ensure every guest leaves wanting to come back.

Behind the scenes, you'll handle accurate POS entry, clean and organized stations, smooth communication with the kitchen and bar, and calm, professional handling of anything that comes up mid-shift.

—

Opening Duties

Every server sets the standard before the first guest walks in. Opening responsibilities include:

Clocking in on time and signing the opening log
Turning on all lights, music, POS terminals, and equipment
Fully setting every table with silverware, napkins, condiments, salt and pepper, and table numbers
Stocking all server stations with rolled silverware, napkins, straws, and to-go supplies
Checking restrooms for paper towels, soap, toilet paper, and trash
Ensuring the host stand is fully stocked with clean menus and a waitlist
Keeping the phone within reach at all times
Completing a full floor walk before service begins — your section should be guest-ready before you clock in your first table

Closing Duties

Closing is where standards show. Every server is expected to:

Clear, wipe, and fully reset every table in their section
Roll silverware until all stations are stocked for the next shift
Wipe down all server station surfaces and restock napkins, straws, and to-go supplies
Wipe down the host stand and POS terminals
Run the end-of-night POS report
Turn off all non-essential equipment and lights
Complete a final floor walk — the floor should look ready to open again before you leave

Cash Handling

Servers are expected to handle all cash transactions accurately and professionally:

Count back change correctly to every guest
Keep your bank organized and balanced throughout your shift
Process all cash payments through the POS accurately
Never leave cash unattended at a table or station
Place all cash tips into the cash jar

Discrepancies must be reported to a manager immediately — accuracy and honesty are non-negotiable.

What We're Looking For

Someone who genuinely enjoys people. You're naturally attentive, you communicate clearly, and you don't need a script to make a guest feel valued. You stay composed when things get busy, you take ownership of your section, and you treat every guest — whether it's their first visit or their fiftieth — like they matter.

What We Expect

A clean, professional appearance. Punctuality — be in uniform and ready to work at your scheduled start time. No phones on the floor. And a consistent commitment to the same warm, attentive service for every single guest, every single shift.

Pink Pistachio Cafe is an equal opportunity employer.

Benefits:

Employee discount

Application Question(s):

Are you at least 18 years of age?
Can you begin working immediately ?

Experience:

Serving: 2 years (Required)

Shift availability:

Night Shift (Required)

Ability to Commute:

Somerset, NJ 08873 (Required)

Work Location: In person
