The Service Assistant will play a vital role in the seamless operation of the restaurant by performing a variety of duties such as bussing tables, washing dishes, cleaning the restaurant's landscape, and maintaining the parking lot and dumpster areas. This dynamic position requires flexibility and reliability as the assistant will work both inside and outside the establishment to ensure that every area meets the strict brand standards for hygiene, presentation, and safety.
