Your mission

Should you decide to accept it…

Love good food, great people, and a lively atmosphere? We’re looking for friendly, hardworking servers to join our fun Italian restaurant, EVE.

No two days are ever the same here — our space hosts a variety of events, parties, and hotel guests, making every shift exciting and unique. If you bring a positive attitude and enjoy keeping busy in a dynamic setting, you’ll fit right in!

What exactly you will be doing…

• Greet guests warmly and provide a friendly, attentive dining experience
• Present menus, answer questions about food and beverages, and make recommendations
• Take accurate food and drink orders and enter them into the POS system
• Deliver food and beverages promptly and ensure order accuracy
• Check in with guests regularly to ensure satisfaction
• Clear tables, reset them quickly, and maintain a clean dining area
• Handle guest payments (cash and card) accurately and responsibly
• Communicate effectively with kitchen and bar staff to coordinate orders
• Assist with setting up and closing down the restaurant each shift
• Support team members during busy periods and help create a positive, welcoming environment
• Follow all health, safety, and hygiene guidelines
• Participate in restaurant events and special functions as needed

We love what we do and what we do is important! We believe that everyone should leave feeling better – this means not just our guests, but also our teammates. Everyone should go home feeling better because they learned something new or had fun working that day. Therefore, we hire unique individuals who work together to create amazing experiences for our guests.

We recognize that every member of the team contributes to the success of the whole hotel. No one is more important than anyone else, and unless we are in it together, we can’t create that special experience for our guests.
