Job Description

Batch & Brine is a vibrant and customer-focused restaurant dedicated to providing exceptional dining experiences with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Known for its commitment to quality service and delicious meals, Batch & Brine places a strong emphasis on creating a welcoming environment where every guest feels valued from the moment they walk through the door to the end of their meal. With a team-oriented culture and a reputation for excellence, Batch & Brine continuously strives to uphold high standards in both food quality and customer care. As a restaurant in the hospitality industry, the establishment prides itself on attentive service, an inviting ambiance, and maintaining an organized and clean dining space for all guests. The team at Batch & Brine understands the importance of professionalism and a positive attitude in ensuring repeat clientele and overall satisfaction. The restaurant operates with a dynamic and supportive work environment encouraging employees to work collaboratively and take ownership of their roles to maintain smooth and efficient service operations.

We are currently seeking an energetic and motivated Server to join our front-of-house team. The Server will play a crucial role in maintaining a pleasant dining experience by providing professional, friendly, and attentive service to all guests. The primary responsibility of this role is to greet guests warmly before, during, and after meal periods, ensuring that their needs are anticipated and met promptly. Servers must be capable of standing and walking for extended periods, managing physical tasks such as carrying plates and trays, and efficiently taking and delivering orders. This position requires a positive disposition, patience, punctuality, and excellent communication skills as the Server interacts directly with guests and coordinates with kitchen staff to fulfill special requests. The Server will use the restaurant's POS system (TOAST) to enter orders accurately, alert guests to any modifications or availability issues, and ensure that billed checks correspond correctly to their table. Attention to cleanliness and organization is vital, as is the ability to adhere to uniform and personal appearance standards.

This role offers an opportunity to be part of a dedicated team committed to teamwork and high standards of food service. We value employees who are punctual, reliable, and enthusiastic about contributing to a positive dining experience. Servers are expected to work overtime when necessary and take responsibility for the overall success of the restaurant, not just their individual station. Batch & Brine supports professional growth in hospitality and encourages obtaining and maintaining a current Food Handlers Certification. Join us to build your career while providing great food service in a spirited restaurant environment where teamwork and guest satisfaction are a priority.
