Banquet Server

Hattiesburg Convention Commission • Hattiesburg, MS

27d • Onsite

About The Position

The Banquet Server is scheduled as needed for large parties and other special events. Servers are contacted one week in advance about potential work to confirm availability and scheduling. Depending on facility needs and the server’s abilities—including professionalism, quality of service, courtesy to customers and coworkers, initiative, punctuality, dependability, and overall work ethic—the role may offer the potential to move to regular part-time wait staff. The position is based primarily at the Lake Terrace Convention Center, but may require travel to other Hattiesburg Convention Commission facilities, as well as for errands, conferences, and seminars. Work may be required at night, on weekends, and on holidays.
