Job Description

Toscana Italian Kitchen and Wine Market stands as Lansing's premier from-scratch Italian restaurant, proudly serving authentic Italian cuisine made with the freshest ingredients and a passion for tradition. As a cornerstone of the local dining scene, Toscana blends a warm, inviting ambiance with exceptional culinary craftsmanship, providing guests with memorable dining experiences that celebrate Italian culture and hospitality. The restaurant's commitment to quality, integrity, and community is evident in every dish and interaction, making it a cherished destination for both locals and visitors alike.

We are excited to offer a fantastic opportunity to join our Food and Beverage (F&B) team as a Restaurant Server Assistant. This role is ideal for enthusiastic individuals who possess a winning smile and a service-minded attitude. If you enjoy working closely with people and making someone’s day special, Toscana may be the perfect fit for you. Our team thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where teamwork and positivity are key to delivering excellent service.

In this position, you will work a variety of shifts, including mornings, evenings, and weekends, providing flexibility to accommodate your schedule. Although having at least one year of fast casual dining or customer service experience is preferred, we are willing to train candidates who demonstrate the right attitude and enthusiasm to succeed.

From greeting guests warmly to replenishing beverages, breads, and condiments, your attentiveness ensures a positive dining experience for each guest.

The Server Assistant is responsible for quickly clearing and resetting tables with spotless service ware, keeping the dining area organized and ready for new guests. Maintaining stock and cleanliness throughout all meal periods is essential to uphold the high standards Toscana is known for. This position also involves transporting tableware to the dishwashing area and assisting with general cleaning tasks to maintain hygiene and safety standards. Additional duties include folding napkins, restocking condiments, responding to special guest requests, and performing cross-training activities to support overall team success.

Toscana Italian Kitchen and Wine Market is part of the Concord Hospitality family, a company that values its associates by fostering a culture built on five Cornerstones: Quality, Integrity, Community, Profitability, and Fun. We pride ourselves on creating a supportive workplace where personal development, work-life balance, and team camaraderie are prioritized. Working with us means being part of a vibrant and inclusive environment where your efforts are recognized and rewarded.

For full-time associates, Toscana offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, short-term and long-term disability coverage, 401(k) retirement options, tuition assistance, discounted room rates at Concord-managed hotels, and ongoing training and career advancement opportunities. We are committed to diversity, equality, and providing the best possible environment for our team to grow. As an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer, we welcome applicants of all backgrounds to join our dedicated team. If you're searching for a position that values growth, fun, and guest satisfaction, this role as a Server Assistant at Toscana could be your perfect match. Join us in delivering exceptional service one smile at a time.
