Anyone can carry a plate. We are looking for the person who carries the evening. From 1995 to 2017, The Blue Star was the restaurant Colorado Springs measured other restaurants against, not because of any single dish, but because of the people who worked the floor. They knew their guests by name and by preference. They read a table before they reached it. They made a Tuesday feel like an occasion. We are bringing The Blue Star back, and the dining room is where it will be won or lost. We are hiring servers who understand that hospitality is a craft, with technique, standards, and a lifetime of refinement in it, and who want to practice it at that level. What You'll Do Greet every table with genuine warmth and set the tone for the meal Guide guests through the menu and wine list with real knowledge, recommending what fits the guest rather than the check Manage pace and coursing with the kitchen so no table waits and no table feels rushed Enter orders accurately and communicate allergens and modifications precisely Anticipate the need before it becomes a request Execute the technical standards of elevated service: marking, clearing, wine presentation, and silent coordination with your team Support the whole dining room, not just your section Follow all cash handling, POS, alcohol service, and sanitation standards without reminder What Poise Actually Means Here Every restaurant posting uses these words. Here is what we mean by them, so you can decide whether this is your kind of room. Poise. You move at the same speed at 8:15 on a full Saturday as you do at 5:30 on a slow Tuesday. Urgency is internal. Professionalism. You're prepared before service, you know the menu before you're asked, and you're reliable in a way that lets other people relax. Warmth. Your kindness is real, not performed. Guests can tell the difference immediately, and so can we. Graciousness. You extend the same courtesy to the difficult guest, the teammate who's behind, and the table that isn't going to tip well. Hospitality. You do the thing nobody asked for and nobody would have missed. That's the whole job. Everything else is logistics. You Might Be a Fit If You Have real experience in elevated, full-service dining, and genuinely love it Can hold six tables in your head at once and still make each one feel like the only one Take pride in your wine knowledge and want to keep building it Thrive under structure and high standards rather than resenting them Receive coaching as an investment in you, not a criticism of you Believe a career in hospitality is a career, and want to be somewhere that agrees Requirements Two or more years of serving experience in full-service dining; elevated or fine dining strongly preferred Working knowledge of wine, spirits, and food Colorado Food Handler and responsible alcohol service certification required, before your first solo shift Must be at least 18 years of age Availability for evenings, weekends, and holidays Able to stand and walk 8-10 hour shifts and lift up to 30 lbs What You Can Expect From Us A serious training program, menu, wine, service technique, and hospitality philosophy, not a shadow shift and a shrug Leadership that communicates clearly and tells you where you stand Ongoing development and a real path toward lead server, trainer, sommelier study, or management Competitive earnings in a dining room built for high check averages and high guest return A team of professionals who take the work and each other seriously How to Apply Apply here with your experience, and include a brief note in your own words, not a form letter. Tell us about one table you'll never forget and why. We read everything. The Blue Star is an equal opportunity employer. Courage
