Job description

Every plate that leaves our pass is composed with intention. Our food runners carry it to the table exactly as the kitchen intended: on time, flawless and introduced with a brief, knowledgeable description. It’s a natural step toward a server role.

Il Migliore is a premier Italian dining destination in the heart of Boca Raton. We practice cucina italiana contemporanea: Italy’s regional culinary traditions, expressed through original recipes, innovative technique and chef-driven artistry, with an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Our kitchen is built on artisanal ingredients, hand‑crafted pastas, responsibly sourced seafood and premium meats. Our cellar holds iconic Italian producers, rare vintages and exceptional bottlings from around the world. From the dining room to our private dining spaces, we are committed to hospitality of the highest order, and to being recognized among the finest Italian restaurants in the region: culinarily, culturally and operationally.

• Pay: $11.98 per hour + tips (Florida tipped minimum wage)
• Reports to: Floor Manager / Expeditor

What you’ll do

• Deliver food from the pass to the correct table and seat position, accurately and promptly
• Describe each dish to guests as it’s presented, including key ingredients
• Check plates against tickets for accuracy, garnish and presentation before leaving the kitchen
• Communicate allergies and modifications between servers and the kitchen
• Clear plates and assist bussers and servers with table maintenance
• Stock the pass with plates, napkins, tools and condiments
• Complete opening and closing side work

What we’re looking for

• 2+ years of food runner, busser or restaurant experience
• Strong memory for table numbers and seat positions
• Speed, balance and composure during peak service
• Clear communication with both front and back of house
• Interest in learning Italian cuisine and growing into a server role
• Availability for evenings, weekends and holidays

Why join our opening team

Few restaurants at this level open in South Florida. You will work in a chef‑driven kitchen and dining room, learn a world‑class wine program, and help define our standards from the first night. We invest in people who take pride in precision, grace under pressure and continuous improvement.
