Due to the fast-paced nature of Tomato Bar, servers are required to be very strong at multi-tasking and should own excellent organizational skills. While the position will naturally require those characteristics to be successful, our company really only has one primary requirement - be friendly and respectful to guests and to the team you're a part of.

One critical difference between Tomato Bar and many other restaurants is that our front-of-the-house works as a team. You will be assigned guest tables as a server and those gratuities will be solely yours, but many of the tasks associated with making sure your guest tables have a great experience is absorbed as a team. At times, your tables will be prebussed and bussed as a team, orders will be ran as a team, and you will be responsible in contributing to the team in the same way. Our organization believes VERY STRONGLY that this type of teamwork creates a positive culture, strong friendships and a much more fun place to work.
