We are seeking a friendly, professional, organized and, above all, compassionate Lead Server with the kind, patient and cheerful spirit to deliver on that exceptional experience. You know the satisfied feeling you get at an upscale restaurant when the servers do an excellent job? That’s because they’ve been trained and led well in performing promptly, accurately and courteously at all times. That’s the same feeling we wish our residents to have every day, and as the Lead Server of the Waitstaff, your performance is key to making that happen. In this role you will be responsible for ensuring all meals are served and presented in accordance with the guidelines established by the Director of Food Service.

  • Logging records of guest checks
  • Overseeing cleanliness of dining room and kitchen areas assigned to waitstaff
  • Participating in offsite events, holiday parties and special onsite events
  • Performing other duties as assigned by the Dining Room Manager or Director of Food Service

Must be able to work at least one weekend day per week (Tues–Sat or Sun–Thurs).

The ideal candidate will have the following skills/qualifications:

  • Willing to wait on tables and run a station
  • Remain friendly and courteous to residents and fellow team members
  • Participate as a team player, always with a positive attitude
  • Able to carry a tray of about 30 pounds on shoulder
