Job Description

Baleia is the newest dining concept by The Coda Group, a reputable hospitality company known for its successful ventures such as SRV, The Salty Pig, and Gufo. Positioned strategically on the ground floor of the Troy Building at the intersection of Southie and the South End, Baleia offers guests an immersive Portuguese-inspired culinary experience. The name "Baleia," which translates to "whale" in Portuguese, reflects the concept's dedication to authentic cultural influences, which permeate the menu, cocktail selection, and an exclusive all Portuguese wine list. This establishment presents a bustling yet intimate atmosphere, with a dining room that accommodates just under 90 guests and an additional 14-seat bar, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions.

The Coda Group is celebrated for its commitment to creating dining experiences that resonate deeply with the communities they serve, and Baleia continues this tradition by offering a unique and thoughtfully curated menu that highlights the rich culinary heritage of Portugal. From traditional dishes inspired by coastal and rustic fare to carefully crafted cocktails echoing Portuguese flavors, every aspect of Baleia is designed to transport patrons to Portugal while remaining firmly rooted in the distinctive vibe of its South Boston location.

Currently, Baleia is hiring for food runners and bussers who will play a vital role in enhancing the overall dining experience by ensuring timely and efficient service. This dynamic role suits energetic individuals who thrive in fast-paced settings and enjoy being active members of a hospitality team. Candidates comfortable learning on the job, with attention to detail and a proactive attitude, will find a rewarding environment at Baleia. While prior restaurant or food running experience is preferred, it is not mandatory, as the establishment values a willingness to learn and a customer-focused mindset above all.

Employees at Baleia benefit from working with a supportive team within The Coda Group, which emphasizes a culture of growth, inclusivity, and professionalism. Health, dental, and vision insurance are offered as part of the benefits package, underscoring the group’s commitment to employee well-being. Prospective applicants are encouraged to submit an introduction email along with a resume to the designated email address, positioning themselves to join a vibrant team dedicated to delivering outstanding Portuguese-inspired hospitality in a unique neighborhood setting.
