Job Description

Emerald Queen Casino, owned and operated by the Puyallup Tribe, is a premier entertainment destination known for its vibrant gaming environment, exceptional customer service, and commitment to community values. Located in Washington State, this casino stands out as a leader in providing guests an unparalleled experience through its wide array of gaming options, culinary offerings, and live entertainment events. As a cornerstone of the local economy, Emerald Queen Casino not only provides employment opportunities but also fosters an inclusive workplace culture that respects diversity, promotes equal opportunity, and adheres to tribal and state regulations. The casino continuously strives to maintain its reputation for integrity, quality, and guest satisfaction.

The role of Beverage Server at Emerald Queen Casino is a full-time position essential to enhancing the guest experience by delivering superior beverage service with professionalism and efficiency. Starting at a wage of $16.77 per hour, this position offers a raise to $17.31 per hour plus tips upon successful completion of a 90-day orientation period. This role involves direct interaction with guests, taking beverage orders, upselling drinks, processing transactions, and assisting bartenders with stocking and maintaining cleanliness in the work area. Employees will be trained and expected to operate the point-of-sale (POS) system accurately, handle cash responsibly, and uphold the casino's standards for customer service excellence. This position requires the ability to work flexible shifts including days, swings, graveyards, and holidays to meet the casino's operating demands. The Beverage Server job is not only about serving drinks but also about fostering a welcoming atmosphere where guests feel valued and well cared for. The position demands physical stamina as servers stand and walk for extended periods, carry trays weighing up to 25 pounds, and navigate stairs regularly in an environment that may contain smoke. Valid certification such as a TIPS card and Washington State food handler's card is a mandatory qualification, alongside compliance with the Puyallup Tribal Gaming Regulatory Office and Washington State Gaming Commission licensing requirements. Emerald Queen Casino offers excellent employer-paid medical, dental, vision, and life insurance benefits, setting a strong standard for employee care and work-life balance. Employment here means becoming part of a dynamic team focused on safety, service, and community impact while developing skills in hospitality and customer service within the gaming industry.
