• Maintain a Polished Front-of-House
  Keep the host stand, entryway, and waiting areas tidy and inviting at all times.
• Support Service as Needed
  Jump in to assist with light server support tasks (e.g., running food, rolling silverware) when the pace demands teamwork.
• Reflect Our Restaurant’s Culture
  Project professionalism, warmth, and a passion for our fresh, homemade pizza and pasta. Embody our commitment to community and genuine hospitality.
