Job description

Description

At Low and Slow Smokehouse, we’re not just serving up award-winning BBQ—we’re dishing out a one-of-a-kind experience atop Johnston Regional Airport. Picture this: wood-fired meats, craft beers, and planes taking off just beyond the patio. We’re a tight-knit crew passionate about great food, good vibes, and making every guest feel like family.

What You’ll Do:

• Greet guests with a smile and guide them through our menu of smoked classics and signature drinks.
• Serve up plates and pour drafts from our full bar, keeping the energy high and the service smooth.
• Mix cocktails, pull pints, and recommend pairings—think brisket with a bold IPA or ribs with a bourbon twist.
• Keep the dining room and bar humming—clear tables, restock, and jump in wherever the team needs you.
• Bring your personality to the runway view—chat up pilots, locals, and visitors soaking in the scene.
• Work with the pitmasters and kitchen to keep orders flying out on time.

Why Join Us:

• Work somewhere unique—how many gigs overlook an active runway?
• Competitive tips—our guests love the food and the view, and they show it.
• Be part of a crew that values hustle, heart, and a good plate of ribs.
• Flexible shifts—full-time or part-time, we’ll make it work.

Requirements

Who You Are:

• You’ve got serving or bartending experience (or a quick knack for learning—hospitality’s in your blood).
• You thrive in a fast-paced spot where no two shifts are the same—busy nights don’t faze you.
• You’ve got a current SafeServ certification—food safety’s non-negotiable here.
• You know your way around a bar—cocktails, beers, and a steady pour are your game.
• You’re a team player who loves a good laugh and can roll with a packed patio or a quiet lunch rush.
• Bonus if you’ve got a TIPS certification (or can get one quick) and a soft spot for BBQ.
