Job Description

Bloomingdale's is a renowned retail and lifestyle brand known for making fashion personal, fun, aspirational, yet approachable. With a rich history of offering high-quality apparel, accessories, home goods, and culinary experiences, Bloomingdale's stands as a pillar in the fashion and retail industry. The establishment is dedicated to guiding and inspiring customers, encouraging them to view style as a source of creative energy in their everyday lives. The company culture emphasizes inclusivity, diversity, and collaboration, promoting a workplace where every colleague's voice is valued. Bloomingdale's mission is to be like no other store in the world, constantly striving to offer an exceptional customer experience through both product and service excellence.

The role of Server at Bloomingdale's plays a crucial part in delivering this unique customer experience, particularly within their in-store restaurant and food service operations. Servers are responsible for ensuring guests enjoy memorable dining moments by providing attentive, knowledgeable service. This role involves engaging with customers to offer detailed menu information, including portions, ingredients, and allergy concerns, as well as facilitating an enjoyable pace for meals through effective "coursing"—a technique that aligns dining flow with upselling opportunities. Working as a Server at Bloomingdale's requires adaptability to a fast-paced environment, the ability to handle multiple priorities simultaneously, and readiness to learn new procedures as needed. The position supports the company's commitment to delivering style through creative culinary dishes and outstanding service.

Employment with Bloomingdale's as a Server includes comprehensive benefits such as day-one eligibility for medical, dental, and vision insurance for qualified colleagues, competitive pay, paid time off, flexible scheduling options, and access to earned wages through PayActiv. Additional benefits include pet, home, and auto insurance enhancements, 401(k) plan options, bonus opportunities, and employee discounts at both Bloomingdale's and Macy's stores. This role may also be eligible for performance-based incentives and bonuses. Physical aspects of the job involve standing and walking for prolonged periods, occasional crouching and kneeling, and the ability to lift and move up to 25 pounds. Experience working retail hours, which may include evenings, weekends, and holidays, is also necessary.

Overall, joining Bloomingdale's as a Server means becoming part of a dynamic, entrepreneurial team passionate about making shopping and dining seamless and enjoyable for all guests. This position offers growth potential within a well-established, inclusive company that values both the contributions and wellbeing of its employees. By aligning with Bloomingdale's values, Servers contribute directly to the brand's promise of a unique and stylish shopping destination paired with exceptional culinary service.
