• Clover-Guiding: Welcoming guests, taking orders on electronic tablets/POS systems, and guiding them through our menu
• Quality Control: Ensuring food meets our high standards (which includes tasting our delicious recipes!)
• Maintaining the Space: Dishwashing and cleaning stations and the restaurant to keep our restaurants sparkling and safe.

What We Are Looking For

• A desire to learn, grow, and contribute to a supportive team environment
• A friendly, polite, and helpful attitude toward customers and coworkers
• Flexibility to work a varied schedule, which may include evenings and weekends
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, stretch, and occasionally lift up to 50 lbs throughout a shift (with or without reasonable accommodation)

Don't meet every single requirement? We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be the right candidate for this or other roles.
