Job Description

Black Bear Diner is a well-established family dining restaurant chain known for its hearty menu and welcoming atmosphere. With multiple locations across the United States, Black Bear Diner prides itself on delivering a genuine, friendly dining experience where guests feel like part of the family. The restaurant specializes in traditional American comfort food, served in a rustic, bear-themed setting that appeals to families, locals, and travelers alike. This new location at 8150 E 56th St, Odessa, TX 79765, is part of Black Bear Diner's continued expansion to reach more communities and provide excellent dining experiences. The brand’s emphasis on quality food and outstanding customer service makes it a favorite in the casual dining sector.

The role available at this new Odessa location involves joining the front-of-house team as a Server, Cashier, Host, Hostess, or Busser. Black Bear Diner is now hiring full-time team members who are passionate about hospitality and eager to deliver friendly and efficient service to every guest. While prior experience in food service or hospitality is welcomed, it is not a requirement as thorough training will be provided to all new hires. The position demands individuals who can communicate clearly with guests, maintain a positive attitude, and work collaboratively with the rest of the kitchen and serving staff to ensure smooth operations and memorable customer interactions.

As a Black Bear Diner Team Member, you will play a critical role in creating a dining experience that encourages customers to return time and again. Your responsibilities will include greeting guests promptly, taking and accurately delivering orders, managing payment transactions, and maintaining cleanliness and presentation of the dining area. Team members are expected to be able to stand for extended periods and handle varying weights to manage plates and supplies safely. Black Bear Diner values employees who are attentive to detail, quick on their feet, and excel at multitasking while maintaining composure in a fast-paced setting.

This opportunity offers competitive pay based on experience and a comprehensive benefits package that supports the health and wellbeing of employees. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, access to telehealth services, a 401(k) retirement program, meal discounts, and opportunities for career advancement in a growing family-owned business. Black Bear Diner’s dedication to employee development encourages career growth, making it an ideal workplace for those seeking long-term employment in the hospitality industry.

The new Odessa location is set to open soon, and the company invites all interested candidates to apply and join a team committed to excellent customer service and a positive workplace environment. Whether you bring extensive restaurant experience or are new to the industry, Black Bear Diner welcomes a diverse range of applicants who are motivated to learn and succeed. This role is perfect for those looking to be part of a reputable dining brand that values integrity, teamwork, and guest satisfaction.
