Job Description

Canterbury Woods is a premier continuing care retirement community located in Buffalo, NY, dedicated to providing older adults with an unparalleled living experience. Our community offers a wide spectrum of living options, ranging from independent living to a comprehensive continuum of care, ensuring that each resident's unique needs and interests are met with compassion and professionalism. At Canterbury Woods, we pride ourselves on cultivating a warm and inviting atmosphere where residents feel valued, engaged, and supported. Our commitment extends beyond just care; we strive to foster a vibrant community where quality of life is enhanced through meaningful activities, exceptional dining experiences, and personalized services.

We are currently seeking an experienced and motivated server to join our growing team in a part-time capacity. This role is integral to maintaining the high standards of service within our fine dining environment. The server/wait staff position requires a proactive individual who can provide exceptional customer service to our residents and guests while efficiently managing meal service and dining area upkeep.

The role offers an excellent opportunity for someone seeking flexible part-time employment in a supportive, fast-paced workplace.

As a server at Canterbury Woods, you will assist in serving meals promptly and courteously, ensuring that residents receive their dining experience without delay. In addition to meal service, responsibilities include helping with daily or scheduled cleaning duties according to established policies, maintaining the cleanliness and organization of the dining area. You will utilize a point-of-sale system to efficiently process orders, demonstrating attention to detail and accuracy. Working under general supervision, you will contribute to a smooth operation in a dynamic environment where teamwork and communication are essential.
