Job Description

Bloomingdale's is a premier luxury department store known for its fashionable and innovative retail experience. As part of Macy's, Inc., a leading fashion retailer in the United States, Bloomingdale's stands out by blending aspirational style with approachable diversity, making fashion personal and fun for every customer. The company is dedicated to providing a unique shopping atmosphere that inspires creativity and style expression. Bloomingdale's mission is to deliver an unmatched retail experience through outstanding customer service, diverse product offerings, and a welcoming environment where individuality and inclusiveness are celebrated. The culture at Bloomingdale's values entrepreneurial spirit, collaboration, and the empowerment of every employee to contribute ideas and engage directly with all levels of leadership. This commitment creates an inspiring workplace where all colleagues can thrive and develop professionally while having fun.

The Server role at Bloomingdale's is an integral part of this distinctive customer journey, especially within the store's renowned restaurant spaces. These restaurants are not merely dining spots but are crafted experiences that complement the fashion-forward atmosphere of the store. Bloomingdale's Servers are expected to deliver excellence in service, creating memorable dining moments that reflect the brand's dedication to quality and style. This position requires individuals who are attentive, knowledgeable about the menu offerings—including ingredients and potential allergens—and who maintain an engaging presence that enhances the overall shopping experience.

Servers work closely with customers, ensuring satisfaction from the moment they present the menu to the point of payment. This role demands a keen understanding of menu 'coursing' and strategic upselling techniques to maximize guest satisfaction and sales. Additionally, Servers must adapt to a fast-paced environment, handling multiple priorities effectively while learning and applying new procedures swiftly. Flexibility in scheduling with availability during retail hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, is essential. Bloomingdale's values its Servers as ambassadors of the brand's promise to deliver a like-no-other experience through their expertise, professionalism, and genuine passion for hospitality. Benefits such as day-one medical, dental, and vision insurance, competitive pay, paid time off, and growth opportunities make this a rewarding position for individuals seeking to advance a career within a respected and dynamic retail hospitality setting.
