Job Description

Culinary Dropout is a vibrant and dynamic restaurant brand under the Fox Restaurant Concepts umbrella, a company recognized for its innovative and evolving array of dining experiences since its inception in 1998. Located within the bustling Village Pointe Mall, Culinary Dropout offers a unique atmosphere where high-energy meets genuine hospitality, resulting in a memorable dining experience for every guest. The company prides itself on fostering a workplace culture that emphasizes passion, teamwork, and a fun yet professional environment. Culinary Dropout is dedicated to delivering show-stopping food and phenomenal cocktails while maintaining exceptional service standards in a lively setting that is both entertaining and fast-paced.

We are currently hiring for the position of Back Server, a crucial role that supports the front-of-house team by ensuring an efficient, clean, and hospitable environment for our guests. This position offers hourly pay starting at $2.13 plus tips, along with flexible scheduling and the chance to earn benefits if you work 25 hours per week. Employees enjoy perks such as medical, dental, and vision benefits, a 35% dining discount at all Fox Restaurant Concepts brands, additional discounts at partner establishments like The Cheesecake Factory and North Italia, tuition reimbursement, and opportunities for growth within the company’s family of brands. Our hiring process is immediate, and we encourage motivated individuals to walk in and interview during our designated job fair dates.

The Back Server role is ideal for individuals who thrive in a team environment and bring a dynamic personality to their work. While prior restaurant experience is beneficial, it is the ability to communicate effectively, provide exemplary hospitality, and work well under pressure that truly sets successful candidates apart. This position requires standing for extended periods, the ability to lift up to 25 pounds, and a readiness to manage a high-volume, fast-paced environment with poise and composure. Back Servers are responsible for maintaining cleanliness by clearing and resetting tables, managing dishware, and ensuring the dining area is always guest-ready. Excellent communication skills are essential, as this role involves coordinating with guests, servers, hosts, and managers to maintain seamless service throughout the shift.

Working as a Back Server at Culinary Dropout offers not just a job but a career pathway within a supportive and growing company known for valuing its employees. Flexible schedules allow team members to balance personal commitments while earning competitive wages supplemented by generous tips. Culinary Dropout’s culture of inclusion, growth, and respect for individual contributions empowers employees to develop skills and explore opportunities across multiple renowned brands within Fox Restaurant Concepts. Whether you are seeking your first role in hospitality or looking to advance your career, Culinary Dropout presents an exciting place to work, learn, and thrive in a welcoming atmosphere that celebrates hard work and fun.
