Part Time Server Jobs in Suwanee, GA (NOW HIRING)

Clairmont Place is an independent living residential community for older adults in Decatur, Georgia, located across from the VA Hospital. We are looking for people to fill part time roles as servers in our main dining room. Your primary responsibility will be customer service for our residents.

Servers assemble to-go orders, do side work (rolling silverware, table set up, basic cleaning, drink station set up, etc.), wait on tables in their section through dinner service and then reset and clean their sections afterward. Residents pre-order their meals so you will have a filled out meal ticket for each resident in your section. It is fine dining with professional table service.

The dining room is the heart of the community and gathering around a table together allows us to grow and thrive.
