What We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who takes ownership of the shift and can be trusted to keep the restaurant operating properly at night. The right candidate is a strong team leader but is equally comfortable jumping onto the line, baking an order, serving a drink, helping a customer, washing dishes, or cleaning the store.

Reliability, leadership, and willingness to do the work alongside the team are essential.
