Made for guests. At Sidecar, we don't just serve doughnuts - we're revolutionizing the way people experience them. Everything is made from scratch, in small batches, with the best ingredients we can find. Our servers are the face of that standard - the warm welcome and the reason guests come back.

If you find real joy in taking care of people, love sharing what you know, and want to be the reason someone's day got a little better, read on.

Why Sidecar

Our mission is simple and ambitious: revolutionize the way people experience doughnuts. We pursue that every day through three commitments - bringing people together, creating meaningful experiences, and crafting everything with excellence. For a server, all three are personal: you're the one who brings people together and turns each visit into a moment worth remembering.

Values

• Warm. Kindness in action - toward guests and the teammates serving beside you.
• Fun. We're serving doughnuts, not curing cancer. The work is serious; the spirit is joyful.
• Fresh. Stylish, refined, and original. What we make is distinctly Sidecar - never a copy.
• Creative. We experiment and refine so we never grow stale, while staying true to our roots.
• Excellent. High standards, no compromises - in product quality, consistency, and cleanliness.

What You'll Do

Our servers are the heart of the guest experience and grow their craft over time. Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Welcome. Greet every guest like you're glad they came - warm, genuine, and present from hello to goodbye.
• Know the product. Master our doughnuts, coffee, ingredients, and tasting notes so you can speak to every item with confidence.
• Guide & recommend. Ask good questions, make thoughtful suggestions, and help guests discover something they'll love.
• Make it personal. Remember regulars, their names, and their favorites - make every guest feel welcomed, remembered, and important.
• Serve with care. Take orders accurately, handle the counter and register, and deliver fast, friendly, professional service through every rush.
• Presentation. Box, plate, and present product to Sidecar's standards so it looks as good as it tastes.
• Cleanliness & safety. Keep the front of house clean, stocked, and food-safe, following all health and sanitation standards.
• Teamwork. Communicate clearly, support the line during the rush, and help the next shift start strong.

What You Bring

• Heart for hospitality. Genuine joy in serving people and making their day a little brighter.
• People skills. A personal, friendly, and professional way with guests - every single time.
• Curiosity. Eagerness to learn our products, ingredients, and tasting notes inside and out.
• Pace. Ability to stay warm, accurate, and calm when it's busy and the line is out the door.
• Reliability. Dependable, on time, and ready for early-morning, weekend, and holiday shifts.
• Physical readiness. Comfortable standing for full shifts and lifting/moving product and supplies.
• Standards. Knowledge of food safety and sanitation practices (or willingness to get certified).

Compensation & Growth

At Sidecar, your pay grows as your craft does. The more you master, the more you earn. Starting pay varies by location and follows the local market.

• Start strong. Entry-level servers begin at minimum wage (by location) with full, hands-on training.
• Earn tips. Once you're trained on two skills, you become eligible to share in tips.
• Earn raises. Learn additional skills and stations, and your hourly base pay increases.
• Grow into leadership. Earn certifications across all front-of-house skills and learn roles like barista and baker to become eligible for leadership roles.

Benefits

• Health insurance. Available to full-time employees.
• Paid vacation. Available to full-time employees.
• 401(k) with match. We match up to 4% of your contributions.

Why You'll Want to Stay
