Server at Fireside Lounge

Willows Lodge is nestled on five landscaped acres bordering the Sammamish River. Our intimate, award-winning hotel allows our guests to experience the Northwest's greatest escape.

Fireside Lounge is our casual indoor/outdoor lounge, which is a favorite of locals and hotel guests alike - whether it's cocktails on the patio or a glass of local wine by the fire.

We are looking to add a part-time server with high-volume experience, strong energy, and solid cocktail and food knowledge. Wine knowledge is a plus, especially in Washington wine country.

At Willows Lodge, we focus on warm, engaging service and making sure every guest has an exceptional experience. The ideal candidate stays calm during a rush, works efficiently, and uses slower periods to reset, prep, and stay ahead.

If you love making meaningful connections, reading the room, and stepping it up to deliver a standout shift, we want you. This is a great opportunity for a driven, service-minded person to grow and learn at a world-class property.
