Job Description

We are a dedicated, family-run restaurant specializing in authentic Mexico City-style cuisine with a strong community focus and a passion for delivering exceptional dining experiences. Located in a vibrant neighborhood, our establishment is known not only for its flavorful dishes and quality beverages but also for its warm and inviting atmosphere. Alongside our sister restaurant, Gallo Blanco Café, we aim to create a supportive workplace where team members grow professionally and thrive personally.

We are currently seeking a reliable and energetic Server Assistant to join our front-of-house team. This role is essential in ensuring smooth operations and outstanding customer service by assisting servers with their tasks, maintaining a clean and organized dining area, and helping guests feel comfortable and valued throughout their visit. The Server Assistant works closely with servers, kitchen staff, and management to foster efficient communication and a well-coordinated service flow in our fast-paced, dynamic environment.

As a Server Assistant, you will be responsible for preparing and resetting dining tables quickly and accurately between seatings while adhering to cleaning and presentation standards. Supporting servers with delivering food and beverages, assisting with drink refills, and clearing plates and glassware will be a key part of your role. Additionally, you will help maintain the cleanliness of the dining room, service stations, and restrooms throughout your shifts, restocking necessary supplies such as silverware, napkins, condiments, glassware, and to-go materials as needed.

Another crucial aspect of this position involves assisting with to-go and pickup orders by ensuring accurate packaging and timely handoff to guests, thereby enhancing the overall guest experience. A commitment to food safety, sanitation, and proper handling procedures is mandatory to uphold our high standards and protect our customers and staff. You will also be expected to promptly report any hazards or maintenance issues to management.

This opportunity is ideal for individuals who take pride in being part of a team, have a strong work ethic, and thrive in a fast-paced environment. If you are detail-oriented, communicative, and enjoy delivering attentive hospitality, this position will allow you to develop your skills through paid training, cross-training opportunities with servers, bartenders, and management, and engagement in a positive workplace culture. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate personal commitments such as school or second jobs, a competitive hourly wage plus tips and potential tip pooling, free or discounted staff meals during shifts, and the chance to network within our family-run restaurant group. Join us and become part of a collaborative team dedicated to excellence in service and culinary tradition.
