Job Description

Sonesta International Hotels is the 8th largest hotel company in the United States and is rapidly expanding its presence across the hospitality industry. With a diverse portfolio that includes full-service and focused hotels located in major cities, Sonesta proudly operates more than 1000 properties spread across eight countries and counting. This dynamic blend of owned, managed, and franchised hotels delivers exceptional value, quality, and memorable experiences to guests worldwide. Driven by a passion for hospitality, Sonesta emphasizes genuine service, loyalty, and deep connections with every guest to uphold its mission of delivering extraordinary stays.

The role of Server Assistant, also known as Bus Attendant, is pivotal to the success of Sonesta's food service operations. Tasked with supporting the restaurant servers and maintaining the cleanliness and readiness of dining areas, the Server Assistant ensures a seamless and high-quality guest dining experience. This position is integral to setting service standards such as timely setup and breakdown of food and beverage stations, assisting servers in clearing tables, refilling beverages, and maintaining a well-organized dining environment. The Server Assistant works closely with restaurant staff, maintaining excellent interpersonal relations with guests and colleagues alike.

Sonesta’s Server Assistants are expected to be passionate and genuinely engaged in guest service, consistently exceeding expectations by anticipating guest needs, delivering the GUEST model of hospitality—greet, use eye contact, establish needs, solve problems, and thank guests—and fostering a respectful, positive workplace culture. With 1-2 years of restaurant experience and strong communication skills, Server Assistants contribute significantly to Sonesta's commitment to exceptional service. This position may also require flexibility to assist in other hotel areas as needed, providing an opportunity for career development within the company.

Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, health savings accounts with company match, a 401(k) retirement plan with company match, paid vacation and sick days, educational assistance, paid parental leave, life and disability insurance, and various other employee perks.
