The establishments aim to create memorable moments for guests through exceptional service, innovative menus, and a commitment to quality.

One of the standout venues under Umami Riot is Bianca, a dynamic restaurant that combines wood-fired cooking, craft cocktails, and warm, modern hospitality. Bianca is more than just a place to eat and drink; it is an environment where every guest experience is thoughtfully curated to create joyful moments—whether it is a casual weeknight pizza and cocktail outing or an elaborate celebratory dinner. Central to this experience is the role of the Server, a position that demands confidence, intention, and a genuine connection with guests. The Server at Bianca is expected to lead with a guide-first approach to service, setting the pace of the dining experience, reading the room, and making each table feel specially attended to.

The Server at Bianca delivers a polished performance from greeting to farewell, seamlessly blending personality with professionalism. Expertise in food and beverage offerings is vital, enabling the Server to provide thoughtful recommendations and expertly pairings that elevate each guest’s meal. The role requires refined execution of service steps, such as handling glassware and plate drops, timing, and smooth transitions, all managed with ease. Maintaining a clean and polished dining room throughout service is essential, alongside proactive communication and teamwork to support opening, closing, and restocking duties.

The environment at Bianca is fast-paced and lively, and the ideal candidate thrives in such settings with a strong floor presence, confidently managing multiple tables without losing momentum. Nights, weekends, and high-energy shifts are when the Server truly shines, bringing charm, focus, and unwavering professionalism. This full-time position offers a competitive wage of $6.75 plus tips, complemented by dining discounts across all Umami Riot locations, free parking, and genuine opportunities for career growth within a supportive team culture that values respect, creativity, and heart. Umami Riot is committed to inclusion and providing reasonable accommodations to enable all team members to perform their essential functions effectively. This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals passionate about hospitality who want to be part of a forward-thinking, hospitality-driven company committed to excellence and innovation.
