Reporting directly to the General Manager and Restaurant Manager, the Service Assistant is responsible for ensuring that dining areas are cleaned and sanitized regularly, service areas remain stocked with the necessary dishes, utensils, glassware, and pots and pans, and that the restaurant is kept orderly both in the front and back of house. This position is crucial in supporting timely guest service and maintaining the overall appearance and functionality of the restaurant.

The Service Assistant must be able to operate safely around cleaning chemicals, observe strict food handling and health regulations, and respond effectively in a dynamic, often fast-paced environment. This role requires excellent guest service skills, a team-oriented mindset, and the ability to work a flexible schedule including nights, weekends, and holidays.

Joining Reveille Management as a Service Assistant means contributing to a well-established brand recognized for its commitment to quality and community engagement. The position offers opportunities to work in a supportive team environment with structured training, allowing employees to grow their skills in hospitality and customer service. If you are dedicated, attentive to detail, and thrive in a customer-focused environment, this role provides a promising career path within a reputable franchise backed by the strength of Denny’s national presence and local ownership.
