IS THIS JOB FOR YOU?
WHY WORK HERE?: Here are some of the perks!
WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE?: RESPONSIBILITIES As a Event Captain - Catering and Events (Seasonal or Permanent), these are the results you'll be hired to accomplish: » ① Invisible, Guest-First Service Deliver plates accurately and on time, answer menu and allergy questions confidently, and stay attentive without being intrusive. » ② Well-Maintained Guest Areas Clear plates, glassware, and trash quickly and often so dining tables, cocktail tables, and all other guest areas stay clean.
» ③ Efficient Event Setup & Breakdown Set up event spaces correctly at the start and break them down efficiently at the end, leaving the event space clean and better than we found it.
PAY We pay a base wage of $24.00 - $32.00 per hour, plus occasional client gratuities. Base wage depends on relevant experience.
