As a luxury hotel brand, JW Marriott is deeply committed to the philosophy that happy employees create happy guests. With a culture that embraces confidence, innovation, genuineness, and intuition, JW Marriott values its team members and fosters an atmosphere rich in camaraderie and cultural diversity. Employees here enjoy a unique working environment that combines professional growth with holistic well-being, driven by the legacy of founder J. Willard Marriott and the distinctive JW Treatment™. This inclusive workplace prioritizes employee engagement and development, encouraging ongoing learning, recognition, and wellness programs.

The Food and Beverage Server role at JW Marriott L.A.Live offers a full-time, non-management opportunity located at 900 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, California. The position provides hourly compensation of $17.87 with eligibility for tips, making it both a rewarding and competitive employment option within the hospitality sector. As a Food and Beverage Server, your essential responsibility is to deliver exceptional dining experiences to guests. You will greet guests warmly, attentively serve food and beverages, and share detailed knowledge of the menu to assist guests with choices and special requests. With a focus on friendliness and efficiency, you will maintain impeccable table settings, record transactions accurately using the MICROS system, and ensure guest satisfaction by proactively checking in during meals. Beyond these duties, you will also manage cleaning duties, perform closing tasks, and replenish dining supplies to ensure seamless restaurant operations.

This role is designed for individuals who are passionate about food and beverages and who thrive on making others feel welcome and valued.

The employer emphasizes a professional appearance maintained through a clean uniform and requires safety training and certification prior to employment.

The company promotes equal opportunities regardless of disability, veteran status, or other protected characteristics, ensuring a welcoming environment for all. By working here, you contribute to upholding Marriott Hotels' promise of "A wonderful hotel experience, every time" through thoughtful service that anticipates guest needs. The role not only offers a chance to engage with a diverse clientele from around the world but also to build meaningful career paths through opportunities for exploration within the business.
