Server

Summary of Position: A Crooked Hammock Brewery Server is part beer guide, part food expert, part storyteller - and a big part of what makes a day in the backyard memorable. Around here, serving isn't just about taking orders and dropping off food. It's about welcoming people into our world, helping them discover a new favorite beer, guiding them toward something delicious and making them feel like there's nowhere else they need to be. Our Servers know how to read a table, make genuine connections and bring their own personality to the experience. They know our regulars, share the stories behind what we serve and take care of the little things before guests ever have to ask. Whether it's someone's first visit or their fiftieth, the goal is the same: great food, great beer and the kind of hospitality that makes them want to stick around for another round. Come help us create the perfect backyard escape!

Duties & Responsibilities:

• Welcome every guest with genuine hospitality, create a fun and relaxed experience, and build connections that turn first-time visitors into regulars.
