Some things to know about us:

Our mission is “To make this the most enjoyable place to work in and the most enjoyable place to dine”. This is the reason we are here. This is why we do what we do.

We are big on communication and organization. We believe these are huge keys to success. The better we are able to communicate and organize ourselves, the more success we will have.

We are big on teaching and growth. We work hard to make sure everyone is constantly growing and learning. We want everyone who works with us to become a better cook, barista, chef, manager, guest liaison, and most importantly, leader.

We like having fun. While we take our jobs very seriously, we also do so lightheartedly. In other words, we love to hustle and get better every day but we also love to do it while laughing and having fun at the same time. (And yes, that is possible).

Our ideal candidate is someone who, most importantly, has a real passion for making other people happy.

Rose’s at Home brings the restaurant experience to people’s private homes as well as other off-site locations for more traditional events.

Servers will become familiar with service ware and equipment needs for all event types and assist chefs in safe and efficient transport to off-site locations. A valid driver's license is required. Significant training will be required to ensure consistent delivery of our high service standards. Familiarity with fine wine service is preferred, but will also be part of the training. Bartending experience is required for this position.

We ask for flexibility to accommodate pop-up events that may occur.

If you have the background and love making people happy, we’d like to hear from you. Please apply with your resume and a short cover letter.
