Job Description
Ari's Thai Eatery, located in Azusa and Anaheim, is a proud member of the Basil&Co Group, a well-known hospitality company renowned for delivering authentic and immersive Thai dining experiences. With a strong emphasis on family-style servings and exceptional guest interactions, Ari's Thai Eatery blends the rich flavors of Thailand with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that invites guests to experience more than just a meal, but a journey through Thai culture. The eatery is dedicated to offering top-quality food with attentive services that ensure every visit is memorable. Joining this team means becoming part of a culture that values humility, dedication, teamwork, continuous learning, integrity, and skillfulness as core qualities for success and personal growth.
The role of a Server at Ari's Thai Eatery is vital to bridging the connection between the establishment and its guests. Unlike traditional order-taking roles, the Server acts as a host, storyteller, and guide, ensuring guests receive a tailored and engaging dining experience. This position requires a unique understanding of family-style dining, where meals are presented collectively and shared across the table, requiring coordination and finesse to manage timing and presentation. Servers must anticipate guest needs, manage multi-table interactions, and convey the rich nuances of Thai cuisine, including details on flavors, dietary restrictions, and spice preferences. The position is designed for someone with a genuine passion for hospitality, who thrives in a fast-paced environment, and takes pride in delivering refined, professional service that aligns with the restaurant's values.
Servers are expected to greet guests promptly, accurately take and relay orders, and work seamlessly with kitchen and service teams to deliver food simultaneously and with style. Their role also extends to efficiently managing payments and ensuring guests feel unhurried during their dining experience. Attention to detail is critical, from maintaining a clean service area to proactive section management. This role demands excellent communication skills, a strong memory, and the ability to multi-task without compromising warmth or professionalism. The position requires food handlers certification and flexibility in scheduling, including availability on nights, weekends, and holidays. Importantly, the role is at-will, emphasizing a dynamic work environment and mutual respect between the server and management. At Ari's Thai Eatery, the Server's contribution is instrumental in creating a seamless, authentic Thai dining experience that delights every guest from start to finish.
