Event Server

Server — Event Catering Staff

Location: Twin Cities Area, MN

Job Type: Part-time / Full-time, Event-Based (W-2, Seasonal)

Pay: $16.00 - 18.00/hour

About the Role

We provide backstage hospitality and catering for touring shows and events. We're building a team of servers to staff meal service, room setup, and breakdown for events in the Twin Cities area.

Training

Full training provided — buffet and dining room setup, house service standards, and all event-day procedures. No prior experience with our specific systems required.

Schedule

Shifts are scheduled through Connecteam as events are booked. Because this is event-based work, your schedule will vary week to week rather than following a fixed weekly shift. We typically staff 4–7 events per month, with notice ranging from a couple of weeks to just a few days out depending on the tour. Shifts typically run 7–9 hours. Hours are not guaranteed and will vary; the more available you are in Connecteam, the more shifts you'll be offered.

What You'll Do

• Set up and break down buffet lines, dining areas, and all-day stations (coffee, beverage, snack)
• Serve guests on the buffet line, restock food and supplies throughout service
• Bus and reset tables, wash dishes, and return clean serving utensils to the line between meals
• Interact professionally and warmly with all guests, including touring artists and crew — without initiating personal conversation with talent unless approached first
• Follow house scripting for portion control and dietary requests
• Complete side work: stocking stations, folding linens, making menu boards/signage, checking beverage and condiment pars
• Maintain a professional, composed demeanor at all times; no photos or videos in guest/artist areas

What We're Looking For

• Prior food service, catering, or hospitality experience preferred, not required
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team under time pressure
• Reliable, punctual, and able to commit to shifts once accepted
• Food handler's certification a plus, not required

Physical Requirements

• Able to stand and walk for extended periods (up to a full shift)
• Able to lift and carry up to 25–40 lbs (trays, hotel pans, coolers, supply bins)
• Able to bend, reach, and work in a fast-paced kitchen/event environment

Perks

• Meals provided on-site during shifts
• Mileage reimbursement when using a personal vehicle for approved errands
• Opportunity to work events with touring artists and crews

Pay: $16.00 - $18.00 per hour

Benefits:

• Employee discount
• Food provided
• Paid time off
