Job Description

Bloomingdale's is a renowned luxury department store known for its commitment to providing a fashion-forward, personalized shopping experience that is both aspirational and approachable. Founded with the mission to guide and inspire customers to make style an integral part of their creative lives, Bloomingdale's has established itself as a leader in the retail industry. The company thrives on fostering an inclusive environment where every colleague’s voice matters and where they have direct access to leadership at all levels. This culture of openness, collaboration, and innovation fuels its dynamic workforce, which is passionate, driven, and entrepreneurial. Diversity—of background, thought, and opinion—is embraced and celebrated, ensuring that the workplace is both welcoming and energizing. Bloomingdale's is much more than a traditional retail store; it is a space where style and creativity converge to offer a unique customer experience like no other store in the world.

As part of its dynamic retail environment, Bloomingdale's features restaurant services that elevate the shopping experience with culinary creativity and exceptional service. The role of a Server at Bloomingdale's is vital to achieving this goal. This role is designed for individuals who are enthusiastic about providing excellent customer service and who enjoy engaging directly with guests in a high-energy setting. Servers are the face of the restaurant experience within the store, responsible for delivering an exciting and satisfying dining experience, whether guests are enjoying a quick frozen yogurt or a leisurely sit-down meal with friends.

Server duties involve more than just taking orders; they include offering detailed menu knowledge to customers, answering questions about dishes including ingredients and allergy information, and using effective upselling techniques related to meal coursing. The role demands a keen ability to multitask and learn quickly within a fast-paced retail environment, adapting to new procedures as needed.

This position is structured to support flexible scheduling options, recognizing the retail environment's needs which include day, evening, weekend, and holiday shifts. Bloomingdale's values work-life balance and supports this through flexible holiday time-off and scheduling accommodations. Compensation is competitive, with additional bonus earning opportunities that reward outstanding performance. Benefits begin on day one and include medical, dental, and vision coverage for eligible colleagues. Employees also enjoy perks such as instant access to earned wages, enhanced insurance options including pet and home insurance, a 401(k) plan, and exclusive employee discounts at Bloomingdale's and Macy's stores. Growth and career development are strongly encouraged, with multiple opportunities for advancement offered within the company.

Joining Bloomingdale's as a Server is more than just a job; it is joining a team committed to creating a memorable customer experience through exceptional service, culinary creativity, and a fun, supportive team environment. This role is perfect for individuals who thrive in interactive settings and who desire to be part of an organization that values diversity, growth, and employee well-being.
