Server

We currently are looking to bring in a full-time server, or two part time servers, specifically for weeknight/ weekend shifts and possibly a few lunch shifts as we expand our hours.

Pssst: this is NOT a great gig for a first time server -- we're searching for someone with at least two years of high volume / casual or fine dining service experience. Our ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong knowledge of food, craft beer, wine spirits and cocktails, positive attitude, dedicated work ethic, strong self-motivation and enthusiasm for the restaurant industry. We're very focused on our craft beer selection, as well as our extensive spirits collection, so you should be ready to show up and learn something new every day.

We hire people who work well as a team, and you may be scheduled for expo, host, or other jobs within the restaurant as needed. We are always happy to cross train our staff, so if you're interested in working behind the bar, or in the kitchen, we will make accommodations when possible.

Please contact us through the Indeed app, email directly at info @ theolympictavern.com, or stop in at 2327 N Main St any time after 3pm and fill out an application. We look forward to meeting you!

• Must be able to deliver plates and food and clear tables
• Must be able to hear well amongst loud background noise
• Must be dressed neatly and well groomed in company approved uniform at all times
• Must be able to operate P.O.S. system, make change correctly and make credit card transactions accurately
