Bartenders Front Servers Hosts Please read before applying: Previous restaurant experience is required for all positions. Our restaurant is fast-paced, detail-oriented, and highly team-driven, so we are looking for candidates who are already comfortable working in a professional restaurant environment. We are primarily looking for long-term team members with consistent availability. At this time, we are not hiring for temporary summer-only roles. About the Role Our service team operates as one unit. While responsibilities may differ slightly day-to-day, all team members are expected to support the full guest experience, from greeting to reset. Front Servers lead the guest experience on the floor, guiding guests through the menu, pacing the meal, and managing the overall flow of service. Bartenders are responsible for cocktail execution, bar organization, guest interaction, beverage knowledge, and supporting overall service flow. This role requires strong multitasking skills, urgency, attention to detail, and the ability to work cleanly and efficiently during high-volume service. Back Servers support the floor through table maintenance, food running, resetting, polishing, stocking, and anticipating guest and team needs. This role is often a pathway into a Front Server position. Hosts are responsible for managing the door, greeting guests, handling reservations and waitlists, managing guest flow, answering phones, and supporting overall organization and communication throughout service. What We're Looking For We care deeply about how people show up. Strong restaurant experience is required Team-first mindset with no ego Ability to move with urgency while staying composed Strong communication skills Attention to detail in both service and environment Interest in food, wine, cocktails, and hospitality Comfortable in a structured, high-expectation environment Ability to be on your feet and moving for long shifts Positive attitude and consistency This is not a casual restaurant job.
