Here, hospitality is personal, teamwork is real, and people genuinely look out for one another. When you join our team, you're stepping into a workplace where you can learn, grow, and take pride in creating memorable moments across the entire property. We bring energy, heart, and professionalism to everything we do, by building not only unforgettable guest experiences, but a workplace we're proud to call our own.

Why this job matters

As part of the restaurant team, you're the backbone of our guest experience.

You also support the servers and kitchen team, making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes while guests enjoy the spotlight.

What you bring to the table

• Make sure the space stays safe, clean, and friendly for both guests and the rest of the team; speak up and report any safety concerns to the Safety Committee.
• Read the room, pick up on guest cues and anticipate needs, looping in servers with subtle, seamless communication.

• Reset each table with speed, care, and precision so every new party is greeted with a fresh, welcoming space.
• Stock and refresh bus stations, service areas, and dish zones so the team always has what they need. Keep floors, chairs, booths, and stations spotless and guest-ready.
• Refill water and non-alcoholic beverages with ease and charm, backed by a solid knowledge of the menu. Jump in wherever needed-whether supporting servers, hosts, or supervisors-to keep service smooth and energized.
• Create a warm, polished vibe on the floor by staying present, approachable, and attentive to both guests and teammates.
• Jump in where needed to support the team and keep things running smoothly. (Other duties as assigned)

Must-haves, nice-to-haves, and maybe some bonus points

• Friendly and approachable attitude that helps guests (and the team) feel welcome and cared for every day.
• This is an entry level position; some food service or hospitality experience is a plus.
• Food handler's permit required at or upon employment.
• Ability to follow directions.
