What You Bring Proficiency with standard dining room operations; strong organizational and time-management skills. Experience with point-of-sale systems or reservation software is a plus. Excellent written and verbal communication skills to interact with residents, families, and waitstaff. Previous restaurant, food service, or supervisory experience preferred. Why You'll Love Working Here Consistent, predictable daytime hours — 3-7 PM, Monday through Friday, with no nights or weekends required. Weekly pay. 401(k) retirement plan with employer match. Free or discounted meals during your shift. Free access to our indoor lap pool, fitness center, and sauna. Room to grow — opportunities for advancement within our dining and community services team.
