Job description

Dallas, United States | Posted on 10/01/2026

Barsellais a new upscale Italian restaurant and cocktail room on SMU Blvd, opening in December. We're hiring servers.

Projected Start Date: Mid November

You run a section of about 16-20 seats in a 70-seat room. You greet fast, get water down, and the first thing out of your mouth is your favorite spritz offer by name. You know the menu, including whatever we’re short tonight or running special. You are the guest experience, the pacing, recommendations, and the passion behind the food.

We’re focused on what we can do great, 4pm to 10pm elevated Italian dinner service. Great wine, spritzes, classic food, but also unique dishes from Chef. The room shifts at 10pm. Lounge energy, later crowd, and the slice window stays open until 2am. Some nights are loud and long, and the standard is the same at 1:45am as it is at 6pm. This role is aimed at that 4pm-10pm block.

What we actually care about:you like people. Truly enjoy talking, building regulars and making the guests’ night. You'd rather be moving than standing around. When something goes sideways, you fix it in front of the guest instead of hiding it, because a guest who watches you handle a mistake walks out trusting you more, not less.

The rest we'll teach. Steps of service, the menu, wine, spirits. We’re not a family, but we will treat you professionally and with respect. Training is run by a management team that served on the floor for years before, we genuinely want our people to succeed. Frequent wine tasting and training, helping you raise your own PPA. If you want to actually get good at this, it's a good place to do it.

The facts of the job:

• Wage // 2.13 an hour plus tips
  
• Projected base PPA // $65 considering one appetizer, entree, and drink.
  
• 3% tip-out to support staff.
  

Promises to you:

• Servers get the first crack at cocktail service and bar training when they're ready. The money follows the people who are actually good.
  
• Consistent scheduling, we’re focused on a reliable consistent schedule. Respectful of availability and requested time off.
  
• Family meals during pre-shift, and closing duties.
