Job description

About Us: The Abbey’s Legacy

At Abbey’s Real Texas BBQ, we don’t just smoke meat, we preserve a craft. For over 40 years, our family has kept the pits burning in San Diego because we believe in the power of authentic tradition.

Our "Why" is simple: We believe that in a world of fast food and shortcuts, people deserve the real deal, food made with patience, wood-fire, and a seat at our family table.

We’ve been voted the Best BBQ in San Diego (The Reader) and featured on Fox News and the Joe Rogan Podcast, but our greatest pride is the team that keeps our 40-year legacy alive. We aren't looking for just "employees"; we’re looking for people who want to be part of a culture where teamwork is the heartbeat and every guest is treated like a neighbor. If you’re looking for a place where your work has roots and your growth has no ceiling, welcome to the family.

Our Work Environment Includes:

• The Family Meal: High-quality food provided daily.


• Legacy Growth: Real opportunities to move into leadership, we promote from within.


• Flexibility: Working hours that respect your life outside the pits.


• Superb Atmosphere: A relaxed but high-standard environment where we work hard and have fun.

Role: Front of House Team Member

We are seeking a friendly, high-energy Front of House team member to join our Miramar landmark. You are the face of our 40-year history. Our ideal candidate is outgoing, personable, and understands that "service" means building a relationship, not just taking an order.

What you’ll bring to the table:

• Previous restaurant experience and a "can-do" attitude.


• Knife Handling Skills: Essential for maintaining our high-quality plating standards.


• People Skills: A genuine love for talking to guests and making them feel at home.

Responsibilities:

• The Guide: Greet guests warmly and educate them on our 40-year history and menu.


• Precision: Taking orders accurately and managing the POS system with speed.


• The "Superb" Experience: Ensuring every guest is happy, up-selling with expert knowledge, and handling payments accurately.


• The Hustle: Multitasking in a fast-paced environment - slicing, cleaning, and assisting wherever the team needs you.


• Integrity: Maintaining a clean, organized, and sanitary workspace that reflects our family’s standards.

Benefits:

• Employee discount


• Flexible schedule


• Paid training


• Referral program

Experience:

• Restaurant: 2 years (Preferred)

Work Location: In person
