• Share your passion for our food and help guests navigate our menu with confidence
• Anticipate needs, respond to questions with care, and go the extra mile to make every visit memorable

• Stay attentive and present on the floor throughout your shift
• Handle guest feedback graciously and flag any concerns to a leader right away

• Confirming the packing station is fully stocked with bags, stickers, desserts, and beverages
• Wiping down all patio tables, chairs, and guest contact surfaces; confirming trash and recycling cans are lined and ready
• Ensuring restrooms are stocked with towels, hand soap, and trash liners at opening and maintained throughout the shift with checks every 30 minutes
• Keeping entry doors, glass, and windows clean and smudge-free throughout the shift
• Welcoming guests, opening doors, assisting with orders, and supporting a positive experience from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave
• Supporting dining area cleanliness continuously — removing trash, wiping down tables, and sweeping so every table looks guest-ready after each visit
• Assisting at the packing station to support accurate, timely order handoff as needed
• Closing out your shift by restocking all supplies, thoroughly cleaning restrooms, and ensuring the opening team is set up for success
