Operating locations throughout the country, Denny's continues to grow and maintain its reputation as a leader in the restaurant sector.
The Service Assistant at Denny's plays a crucial role in maintaining the cleanliness and organization of the restaurant interior and exterior. Reporting directly to the General Manager and Restaurant Manager, the Service Assistant supports the restaurant's operation by ensuring all dining areas, kitchen service stations, and restrooms are consistently clean, sanitized, and stocked. This role involves busing tables, resetting them promptly to accommodate incoming guests, and regularly checking restroom cleanliness and supplies every 30 minutes. Additionally, the Service Assistant helps maintain the restaurant's curb appeal by keeping the exterior and parking lot free of debris, a key factor in attracting and retaining customers.

The Service Assistant also assists with stocking deliveries and rotating perishable items as per company standards, fulfilling various side work and deep cleaning tasks to uphold Denny's brand standards and internal policies.
Besides maintaining physical cleanliness, the Service Assistant is expected to contribute to the overall guest experience by addressing any complaints or requests courteously and promptly, escalating issues to supervisors when necessary. Being an active and willing team player is essential, as the role may involve assisting colleagues beyond basic responsibilities without being asked. This position requires physical stamina, including the ability to lift up to 50 pounds, endure standing or walking during long shifts, and tolerate variable temperatures in kitchen and freezer areas.
