Service Assistant

Lincoln Yard and Little Yard Server

We're building a crew for this neighborhood joint we've built! Housed in the former school bus garage on Lincoln in Birmingham's Rail District, Lincoln Yard and Little Yard are a one-two punch of punchy casual dining in an area that's all about repurposing. We're assembling a unique, anything-but-ordinary team to bring these two equally unique joints to life!

For 28 years, Union Joints has put the independent approach to practice at local originals like the Clarkston Union, Union General, Union Woodshop, Vinsetta Garage, Fenton Fire Hall, Honcho, Gran Castor, Bunkhouse, Union Assembly, Mom's Spaghetti and Union Rec. We're building a crew for this stellar Birmingham endeavor with that same, inclusive, caring and game-for-it (as the games happen across the street!) spirit. We hire on care. If you're interested: we'll take it from there.

Competitive pay and benefits including medical and supplemental insurance, on-demand pay, referral bonus, 401(k) and PTO!
