About Sanctuary on the Square

Sanctuary on the Square is a refuge — a place where the noise of the day falls away and good food, honest drinks, and genuine human connection take center stage. Sanctuary exists to be a true refuge — a place where people come to breathe, connect, and feel taken care of. We serve each guest with intention, knowing that every interaction is a chance to make someone’s day lighter. Whether a guest is celebrating something big or simply needed to get out of the house, we treat them like they matter — because they do.

We look out for each other, pull our weight, and move as one. In a small, tight crew, every action is visible and every contribution counts. We take pride in what we put out: evolving menus, thoughtful cocktails, and standards that stay high no matter how busy the night gets.

Sanctuary is built on inclusivity and respect. Everyone belongs here — guests and staff alike. We don’t tolerate cruelty, we don’t make people feel small, and we celebrate the individuality that makes our space feel alive.

When you walk through our doors in uniform, you represent Sanctuary with pride. You help create the atmosphere people return for — calm, attentive, welcoming, and quietly unforgettable.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Server who understands presence and does more than take the guest's order— someone who can read a table, who understands flavor, anticipate needs, and move through the room with quiet confidence. You’ll guide guests through the menu with confidence and genuine enthusiasm, communicate clearly with the bar and kitchen, and maintain the flow of service without ever breaking the mood. This role is equal parts hospitality, awareness, and discipline. If you take pride in the craft of service, Sanctuary on the Square is where you want to be.

What You’ll Do

• Welcome guests with warmth, clarity, and Sanctuary’s grounded tone
• Guide them through the menu with working knowledge of the full food and bar menus, including preparation methods, ingredients, allergens, and chef’s current features
• Drive cocktail upsells naturally by connecting guests with the right drink for their order
• Enter orders accurately and communicate modifications or allergies with precision
• Coordinate with the kitchen and bar team to ensure seamless course timing and table pacing
• Serve food and drinks with attention to timing, quality, and table cleanliness
• Check in on tables proactively throughout the meal without hovering
• Monitor beverage levels, pacing, and guest needs throughout the meal
• Follow responsible alcohol service including ID checks and manager notification
• Process payments accurately and efficiently — checks, discounts, gift cards, cash, and electronic payments
• Complete side work and support teammates during peak hours
• Maintain the vibe — calm, organized, and attentive even when the room gets loud

We’re Looking For

• 2 years serving experience in a full‑service and cocktail‑forward environment
• Friendly, grounded communication and the ability to manage multiple tables with composure
• Confidence in learning the menu, POS system, service standards, and alcohol‑service procedures
• Dependable attendance and flexible availability — nights, weekends, holidays, events
• Ability to stay calm, accurate, and organized in a fast‑paced environment

Physical Requirements

• Stand and walk for extended periods
• Carry trays and supplies up to 30 lbs
• Work safely in a crowded, fast‑moving, sometimes noisy environment
