Job description

Overview

POSITION SUMMARY

Our jobs aren’t just about putting food on the table that our guests will enjoy until they ask for their bill. Instead, we want to build an experience that is memorable and unique – with food and drinks on the side. Our Guest Service Experts take the initiative and deliver a wide range of services to make sure that guests enjoy their meal. Whether setting tables, communicating with the kitchen, interacting and serving guests, or cleaning work areas and supplies, the Guest Service Expert makes transactions feel like part of the experience.

No matter what position you are in, there are a few things that are critical to success – creating a safe workplace, following company policies and procedures, upholding quality standards, and ensuring your uniform, personal appearance, and communications are professional. Guest Service Experts will be on their feet and moving around (stand, sit, or walk for an extended time; moving over sloping, uneven, or slippery surfaces), managing the menu (read and visually verify information), and taking a hands-on approach to work (move, lift, carry, push, pull, and place objects weighing less than or equal to 25 pounds without assistance and 50 pounds with assistance; reach overhead and below the knees, including bending, twisting, pulling, and stooping). Doing all these things well (and other reasonable job duties as requested) is critical for Guest Service Experts – to get it right for our guests and our business each and every time.

Responsibilities

• Set tables and prepare dining areas for guests
• Communicate with the kitchen and coordinate service with other team members
• Interact with and serve guests to create a positive dining experience
• Clean work areas and maintain supplies to ensure smooth operations
• Contribute to transactions that feel like part of the guest experience
• Move, lift, carry, push, and pull objects up to 25 pounds without assistance and up to 50 pounds with assistance; reach overhead and below the knees, including bending, twisting, pulling, and stooping

Qualifications

• Education: High school diploma or G.E.D. equivalent
• Related Work Experience: At least 1 year of related work experience
• Supervisory Experience: No supervisory experience
• License or Certification: None
