This includes wiping tables, sweeping/mopping, emptying FOH trash and recycling bins, and fully cleaning and restocking the guest restrooms. Qualifications Must be 21 years of age or older. Must possess (or obtain immediately upon hire) all current state-required food handler and responsible beverage service certifications.

Excellent time-management skills and the ability to multitask (e.g., carrying on a conversation with a regular while building a drink and keeping an eye on the door).
