Job Description

Chef David LeFevre is a renowned culinary artist based in Manhattan Beach, California, who has established an impressive portfolio of eclectic, chef-driven restaurants known for their soulful food, engaging service, handcrafted cocktails, and boutique wine selections. His three flagship establishments have become staples in the vibrant Manhattan Beach dining scene: Manhattan Beach Post, which opened in April 2011; Fishing With Dynamite, launched in April 2013; and The Arthur J, debuting in June 2015. Each venue showcases a unique dining experience, emphasizing high-quality ingredients, innovative culinary techniques, and a warm, inviting ambiance that guests love.

The opportunity at Fishing With Dynamite offers a chance to join a dynamic team committed to delivering exceptional hospitality in a high-volume, upscale casual environment. As a Busser/Runner at Fishing With Dynamite, you will play a vital role in maintaining the smooth operation of the dining room by supporting servers and ensuring that guests receive prompt and attentive service.

We seek candidates with at least one year of bussing and running experience who are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. A flexible schedule, including lunch and dinner shifts, is preferred to accommodate the restaurant's needs. The ideal candidate will embody qualities such as humility, respect, and integrity while being motivated to continuously improve and learn more about the culinary offerings. At Fishing With Dynamite, we believe that each guest interaction is an opportunity to build lasting relationships and create memorable dining experiences.

If you are passionate about food service and are eager to grow within a team that sets the standard for hospitality and culinary excellence, this role is an excellent fit. Joining Chef David LeFevre's team means becoming part of a celebrated culinary community known for its innovation and dedication to craft. To learn more about the restaurant and its reputation, candidates are encouraged to explore reviews and features in reputable publications such as the LA Times and LA Weekly, as well as social media profiles on Facebook.
