About The Position

Places Restaurant is currently seeking a part-time Server to join their team, working approximately 20 hours per week. John Knox Village features 7 unique dining outlets, each with a distinct menu and service style, ranging from cafeterias to full-service restaurants. Many of these outlets operate as scratch kitchens, with some preparing 70-99% of their menu made-to-order. All outlets offer flexible hours and both full- and part-time positions. Full-time employees are eligible for benefits, including up to 5 weeks of PTO. The earliest outlet starts service at 7 am and the latest closes at 8 pm, offering a better work-life balance than typical restaurants. Servers in full-service restaurants earn a higher wage and gratuities. This position provides service duties in a restaurant, dining room, and kitchen environment. Responsibilities include functioning as a host/hostess, setting up the dining area, taking food orders, serving food, and cleaning/sanitizing dining areas. The role requires following instructions, carrying out assignments properly, and supporting the Village's mission, values, and service/hospitality (PRIDE) expectations. Completing required training hours is also part of the role.
