Urgently Hiring Servers/Food Runners

Sarabeth's Food Runner Opportunity
It all began in my kitchen – Sarabeth
Sarabeth's began as a tiny bakery-kitchen in 1981 where Sarabeth Levine sold her preserves and baked goods. Quickly gaining popularity, the store began to serve breakfast and lunch, along with the original preserves and baked goods that landed Sarabeth's on the map.
Today, Sarabeth's has four locations in Manhattan and several others around the world. Renowned for our popular brunch, we have also become well admired for our take on contemporary American cuisine at dinner, lively happy hours, and private events. We take great pride in creating a memorable experience for each guest with genuine hospitality and exceptional cuisine.
Runners are responsible for assisting guests throughout the shift, including running food and drinks, refilling water glasses and ensuring all orders are delivered accurately and in a timely fashion as well as being available to guests and supporting the servers to ensure all dining needs met.
