If you thrive in a high‑pressure, fast‑paced environment, can simultaneously have a commitment for excellence, hospitality, multi‑task, and remain positive and upbeat, we want to hear from you! We are looking for a talented Server with a passion for service and a commitment to helping the restaurant run smoothly, for both the Front of House team and our guests.

As a server at Salt + Smoke, you are the primary point of contact for the guest. As such, you are responsible for directing the course of the guest experience. This includes menu knowledge (both food and drink), proper table service sequence, appearance (adherence to the dress code), and most importantly a sense of responsibility for the success of the restaurant through teamwork and positive attitudes.

We emphasize excellence in all aspects of our jobs from maintaining cleanliness of the store to upselling desserts and our bourbon list, to time management in completing side duties and helping your fellow servers. All these things add up indirectly to sway each customer experience in one direction or another. Being truly hospitable and putting others' needs first is the only way to succeed in any service industry.

• Learn all aspects of the food and beverage menus, including knowledge of gluten free and allergy details and any specials we are running.
