Service Captain

Full-time

Opto Restaurant

OPTO is seeking a polished, hospitality-driven Service Captain to join our front-of-house team.

This position is ideal for an experienced fine dining server or aspiring sommelier who is passionate about wine, thrives in a guest-focused environment, and is looking to take on a leadership role within the dining room.

As a Service Captain, you will lead service on the floor while supporting the overall flow of the restaurant. In addition to delivering exceptional table-side hospitality, you'll be expected to confidently recommend and sell wine, assist with beverage service, and support the host stand during service to ensure a seamless guest experience from arrival through departure.

This is a TIPPED / HOURLY position. 

What We're Looking For:

  • Minimum 2 years of fine dining serving experience
  • Strong foundation in wine knowledge with a passion for continued education
  • Confidence selling premium wines and pairing them with cuisine
  • Warm, polished, and professional demeanor
  • Ability to lead by example and support fellow team members
  • Experience with reservation platforms such as Resy is a plus
  • Availability for evenings, weekends, and holidays

At OPTO, we are committed to genuine hospitality, continuous learning, and creating memorable dining experiences. We are looking for individuals who take pride in their craft, enjoy working as part of a collaborative team, and are eager to grow their knowledge of food, wine, and service.

If you're ready to take the next step in your hospitality career, we'd love to meet you.
