About The Position

At Black Walnut Cafe, the dining room team provides fast-casual ordering with elevated hospitality. Team members are trained to perform both cashier and server roles. Cashiers welcome guests, take orders at the counter, make guests comfortable, offer suggestions, and guide the guest experience. Servers greet guests in their assigned area, take ownership of the guest experience, run food, maintain tables, and say goodbye to guests; they perform server functions other than taking the guest’s initial order. Team members may also be trained and asked to work as a greeter, at the coffee bar, and/or as an expo. The role involves interacting hospitably with guests, accurately entering orders into the POS system, checking plate presentation and food quality before serving, completing required side work, maintaining tables throughout meals, engaging with guests, and keeping work areas clean and organized. The posting identifies the position as Bartender but describes these dining-room team functions.
