Our team is composed of passionate professionals committed to creating a welcoming atmosphere for our guests and ensuring every dining experience is memorable. We emphasize teamwork, attention to detail, and constant communication between the front and back of house to maintain seamless operations.

We are currently seeking a dedicated Runner/Expo to join our team. This crucial role acts as the pivotal link between the kitchen and guests, ensuring that every dish is plated to perfection and delivered swiftly and accurately.

Your responsibilities include reading kitchen tickets to finish plates, running food or delegating tasks within the team, and describing the dishes to guests with enthusiasm to enhance their dining experience. You will also handle guest requests promptly and efficiently, contributing significantly to the smooth operation of the restaurant.

This position requires a keen eye for detail, the ability to multitask effectively, and excellent communication skills to interact with both kitchen staff and front-of-house team members. You will assist servers during less busy periods and ensure your station is well-stocked and clean at all times. The Runner/Expo role is essential in maintaining the high standards of service the restaurant is known for, providing guests with not only meals but an experience characterized by speed, accuracy, and hospitality.
