Team Assistant

Who We Are

Since opening our doors in 1992, we have dedicated ourselves to creating exhilarating moments and enduring memories. To do so, we bring our core values to your table every day: culinary excellence, sustainable seafood, southern hospitality, company culture, and philanthropy.

We are currently seeking fine dining Team Assistant/Busser/Expo/Food Runner candidates who will dedicate themselves to this purpose and join our exceptional team of professionals. The Team Assistant position is the backbone of our operations, providing all supplies needed to our professional service staff. The TA role requires clearing dishware, polishing silverware and glassware, and setting the dinner tables for service. This fast‑paced position requires team members to keep a brisk pace and maintain professionalism, accountability, and team commitment.

Accountable hospitality experience is required; the ideal candidate will have worked as a Team Assistant with a similar high‑volume, upscale organization.

At Truluck’s, we make choices that honor the plate, the palate, and the planet. We practice TRU Sustainability, committing to serving the highest‑quality sustainable seafood and never serving endangered or over‑fished species. Our Florida Stone Crab is captured by our team of professional crabbers, and our produce is sourced from local growers whenever possible.
