Job Description

Brinker International, the reputable parent company behind the renowned Maggiano's Little Italy, represents a beacon of casual dining excellence rooted in Italian American traditions. Established in Chicago, Maggiano's captured the hearts of guests with its unique approach to dining, founded by the visionary Norman Brinker. Brinker revolutionized the dining experience by transforming it from either a formal, stiff affair or a quick fast food meal into a casual yet high-quality culinary journey. Today, as a part of Brinker International's expansive restaurant network, Maggiano's holds a special place for its authentic Italian American dishes, warm hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere that brings people together to celebrate life's meaningful moments.

At Maggiano's, the Banquet Server position is a vital role contributing to our mission of creating memorable experiences for every guest during special events. Serving at one of our lively banquet events means being at the heart of celebrations ranging from weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, anniversaries, birthdays, and baby showers. Our team is dedicated to crafting special memories, not just through impeccable food and beverage service but also by infusing every event with genuine care, a touch of class, and The Maggiano's Way spirit.

The Banquet Server is responsible for all aspects of professional food service and guest satisfaction, ensuring that every detail of the banquet dining experience meets or exceeds guest expectations. This role is more than just serving plates; it’s about connecting with guests, understanding their needs, and anticipating their desires to enhance their celebration. You will work closely with Banquet Sales Managers, Banquet Captains, and Housemen to deliver a seamless and enjoyable event. This team-oriented role requires someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, values guest interactions, and takes pride in making each event special and memorable.

Brinker International not only takes pride in its food and service but also in its commitment to community and employee well-being. We actively support various charities including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the North Texas Food Bank. Employees find a welcoming, inclusive environment driven by the philosophy that working happy leads to living well. Our benefits extend beyond competitive earning opportunities to include healthcare plans, career development, tuition assistance, 401(k) plans with company match, employee rewards, and special discounts.

If you seek a dynamic role where you can bring joy to people’s lives through the art of serving at celebrations and want to be part of a company that values tradition, innovation, and community, then joining Maggiano's as a Banquet Server could be your perfect fit. We encourage those who are motivated, service-oriented, and passionate about hospitality to apply and become part of our legacy where every day is a new chance to make memories.
