Where Work Meets the Wild West Coast

At Nootka Marine Adventures, we take pride in providing exceptional service and unforgettable experiences for our guests. We operate three premier resorts on Vancouver Island’s rugged west coast: Moutcha Bay Resort, Nootka Sound Resort, and Newton Cove Resort.

We are dedicated to preserving the timeless art of sport fishing while nurturing the next generation of anglers. Our mission is to provide an unparalleled luxury fishing experience that not only immerses our guests in the natural beauty of our surroundings but also instills a deep appreciation for fishing and the environment.

About The Role

The Server delivers the front-of-house guest experience at the Conuma Grill, providing warm, attentive service while supporting the seasonal food and beverage program. The role includes breakfast setup, a la carte service, guest engagement, and maintaining cleanliness and organization throughout the restaurant.

Key Responsibilities

• Greet and seat guests warmly and help maintain an organized flow of tables.
• Clear, clean, and reset tables quickly and thoroughly so they are ready for incoming guests.
• Run food to tables promptly, confirming table numbers and dishes while ensuring accurate and professional delivery.
• Support servers during service by refilling water, removing used dishes, replacing cutlery, and responding to basic guest needs.
• Assist bartenders as a bar back by restocking glassware, ice, garnishes, beverages, and other bar supplies throughout the shift.
• Maintain clean service areas including server stations, bar areas, host stand, dining room, and other front-of-house spaces.
• Communicate with servers, bartenders, hosts, and kitchen staff to keep service organized and address guest needs or delays quickly.
• Monitor guest and dining-room needs and proactively assist wherever required rather than waiting to be directed.
• Assist with opening and closing duties, including stocking supplies, polishing glassware and cutlery, cleaning stations, and preparing the restaurant for the next service.
• Provide flexible front-of-house support by moving between bussing, food running, hosting, and bar-back duties based on business volume and operational needs.
