Job Description

Denny's, Inc. is one of America’s most iconic and beloved diner-style restaurants, known for offering a welcoming, family-friendly dining experience around the clock. Founded in 1953, Denny's has grown into a national chain that prides itself on delivering quality food and dependable service. The company operates numerous locations across the United States and beyond, each designed to provide a comfortable atmosphere where guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner any time of day. With an emphasis on community, inclusivity, and value, Denny's attracts a diverse clientele ranging from families to solo diners and travelers.

The role available is a Front of House (FOH) Server position at Denny's. This is a customer-facing role that plays a crucial part in ensuring guests have an exceptional dining experience from the moment they enter the restaurant until their departure. As a Server, you will welcome guests warmly, provide attentive and friendly service throughout their visit, accurately take and relay orders to the kitchen, and efficiently deliver food and beverages. This role also involves using upselling techniques to recommend specials and popular menu items, enhancing guest satisfaction and increasing sales revenue. You will guide guests by asking insightful questions to help them make satisfying meal selections, including inviting them to participate in the Denny's Rewards Program, which offers exclusive deals, birthday treats, and opportunities to earn points towards free meals.

Collaboration with both the Front of House and Back of House team members is essential to ensure smooth operations and timely service. This position is ideal for individuals who thrive in a fast-paced environment, have strong communication skills, and enjoy engaging with customers to create a memorable dining experience.

The employment type is typically part-time or full-time with flexible scheduling to include nights, weekends, and holidays. Competitive pay plus tips are offered, coupled with benefits like meal discounts, opportunities for personal growth, and a supportive work environment. Denny's also upholds a strong commitment to equal employment opportunity and participates in the E-Verify program to confirm work authorization.
