Job Description

Denny's is a well-established American diner-style restaurant chain known for its welcoming atmosphere, 24/7 service, and diverse menu that caters to a wide range of tastes and preferences. With locations across the United States and internationally, Denny's has built a strong reputation for delivering reliable and friendly service to guests in a comfortable dining environment. The company emphasizes inclusivity and equal opportunity employment, fostering a diverse and supportive workforce dedicated to providing excellent customer experiences. As a major player in the casual dining industry, Denny's continues to innovate with loyalty programs like the Denny's Rewards Program, which offers guests exclusive deals, birthday treats, and points toward free meals, reinforcing customer engagement and loyalty.

This role is for a Front of House (FOH) Server position within Denny's team, responsible for delivering attentive and efficient service to guests throughout their visits. The server acts as the face of the restaurant, welcoming customers, accurately taking and relaying orders, and ensuring timely delivery of food and beverages. A key aspect of this position involves using upselling techniques and confident menu recommendations to enhance the guest experience and increase sales. The server is also expected to engage with guests by asking guiding questions to facilitate meal choices, promoting the Denny's Rewards Program to encourage repeat visits. Maintaining cleanliness and organization in the dining area is another critical duty, alongside handling payments smoothly using various payment methods. The role demands excellent communication skills, multitasking capabilities in a fast-paced environment, and a cooperative attitude to work effectively with both Front of House and Back of House team members.

Denny's offers competitive pay with tips, flexible scheduling options including nights, weekends, and holidays, meal discounts, and opportunities for career growth and advancement. Employment at Denny's comes with the benefit of joining a supportive team environment that values employee development and guest satisfaction. The company provides equal employment opportunities in compliance with federal and state laws and participates in E-Verify to confirm work authorization for new hires. This server position requires individuals who are at least 18 years old, with previous experience in customer service or foodservice considered an advantage. Basic math skills and confidence in cash handling are necessary to manage transactions accurately. If you enjoy engaging with guests, thrive in a lively restaurant setting, and wish to contribute to a positive dining experience, joining the Denny's FOH team could be a great fit.
