Job Description

Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar is a distinctive restaurant nestled in the vibrant Boulder, Colorado dining scene, known for bringing a fusion of East Coast grit, West Coast ease, and Gulf Coast soul to the table. As part of a collective of locally owned and fiercely independent restaurants under the Big Red F umbrella since 1994, Jax Fish House emphasizes authentic, memorable hospitality that reverberates through every service interaction. The establishment prides itself on creating an energetic and dynamic atmosphere where oysters crack, cocktails shake, music hums, and guests immerse themselves in a lively dining experience that is anything but ordinary.

The restaurant's mission is centered on delivering delicious food and unforgettable hospitality, with a deep commitment to the happiness of their guests, the success of their team, and strong connections to their community. They strive to offer a place that feels both welcoming and professionally polished, with a focus on maintaining a clean, well-run, and charming environment for all who visit and work there. The Jax Fish House experience transcends simple dining, crafting nights that turn into stories filled with rhythm and real hospitality at its core.

The role of Server at Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar is crafted for seasoned service professionals who thrive in an energetic, busy environment and bring a dynamic presence to the dining floor. This position goes beyond traditional server duties; it requires commanding the room with confidence, energy, and expertise. Servers at Jax Fish House are expected to move with intention, think quickly, and know their oysters and wines intimately, acting not just as order-takers but as guides and translators for their guests’ dining journeys.

This role is designed for those who can maintain composure during high-pressure moments when the dining room gets loud and busy. A successful candidate will be comfortable jumping into various roles as needed, communicating clearly and efficiently, and balancing professionalism with the ability to foster a lively, enjoyable atmosphere. It demands attention to detail and adherence to precise steps of service, underscored by a genuine dedication to the guest experience and teamwork.

The position offers full-time or part-time opportunities with a flexible schedule that includes nights and weekends, catering to individuals who have a passion for hospitality and want to be part of a team that values people above all else. Compensation ranges from $24 to $34 per hour, including tips and the opportunity to earn more. Team service tip pooling and paid sick time support the collaborative and approachable culture. Certification in sommelier or cicerone is a plus but not required; responsible alcohol service training and additional certifications will be provided by the company.

Additionally, full-time employees receive comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance after six months, alongside benefits like employee discounts, parental leave, and wellness resources. Jax Fish House’s employment environment is inclusive and embraces diversity without prejudice to candidates’ sexual, religious, or political preferences. This role is perfect for someone seeking a vibrant, high-energy workplace where they can bring their full personality, professionalism, and love of hospitality to every shift and contribute to a storied legacy of hospitality excellence that has lasted for decades.
