$16/hour + tips | Pick up shifts that work for you | See us in action:https://trolley.my.canva.site/groovin

Looking for a flexible second job where you can pick up shifts around work, school, family, or other commitments? Our Event Servers work off-site weddings, corporate events, parties, and celebrations at beautiful and unique venues throughout the Hampton Roads area, so you're not working in the same banquet room every shift.

Bring your friends along! We offer employee referral bonuses and,whenever possible, prioritize giving friends the opportunity to work events together.

• Keep event spaces clean, organized, and well stocked
• Work as part of a team to take care of the details from start to finish

Events are often held during evenings and weekends, although timing varies. You'll need to be comfortable being on your feet and lifting/moving up to 25 pounds regularly and occasionally up to 50 pounds.

• Are dependable and show up when they've committed to a shift
• Enjoy working with people and providing great service
• Can follow directions while also jumping in where needed
