The role of server at Wheelhouse is vital to delivering the exceptional dining experiences that the restaurant promises its guests. This position requires individuals who are hard-working, team-oriented, and passionate about hospitality. Servers at Wheelhouse are the face of the restaurant, responsible for ensuring every guest feels welcomed, attended to, and valued throughout their visit. It is an opportunity to work within a dynamic and energetic team that thrives on collaboration and strives to exceed guest expectations consistently.

Servers will greet guests warmly with genuine smiles and establish eye contact, setting the tone for an enjoyable dining experience from the moment guests arrive. Managing guest flow and seating efficiently between the dining room and the bar area based on preferences and availability is another critical responsibility. Servers also assist guests by escorting them to tables, presenting menus, and facilitating smooth handoffs to assigned service staff. Maintaining accurate wait times, managing waitlists effectively, and handling phone inquiries, including reservations, ensure that guests receive timely and courteous communication.

The role demands attentiveness throughout the guests' experience, with servers actively supporting the broader service team to maintain high standards. Sharing promotions, answering questions, and handling requests are part of the daily duties, contributing to a personalized and engaging experience. Additionally, servers help keep the host stand and dining areas clean and organized, adhering strictly to sanitation, safety, and alcohol service standards.

Candidates should be positive, welcoming, and possess strong communication skills to thrive in Wheelhouse’s fast-paced environment. The ability to stay organized, multitask, and maintain composure during busy periods is essential. Flexibility is also required, as shifts may include nights, weekends, and holidays, as is the physical stamina to stand and walk for long durations and carry trays weighing between 10 to 30 pounds. Previous experience in a full-service restaurant is preferred but not required.

Working at Wheelhouse offers a chance to be part of an exciting and growing hospitality concept, where the energy is high, and the commitment to excellent guest service is paramount. Those who join the team will find an engaging workplace that values teamwork, professionalism, and a passion for creating memorable dining moments.
