Are you 21+ and looking for a part-time job for 1 or 2 days a week that gets you out of the house, makes you some extra money, allows you to mingle with some great customers, and introduces you to amazing wine? Well, we’re hiring!
We are a small, drama-free wine bar crew that actually like working together. We are strict about closing time as everyone on staff has a second job, kids, & lives-so we strive to provide reliable schedules. Shifts would start at 3pm or 4pm depending on the day. End of shift is about 9:30 (sometimes, but rarely, to 10pm). If you start winding your day down at 8pm, this may not be the job for you.
Duties include serving customers, pouring drinks, making paninis, assembling appetizers and salads, and cleaning up the dining room/kitchen at the end of the night. As time progresses, you will either be scheduled for kitchen or dining room service depending on what you’d like to do. Our days have no rhyme or reason-sometimes we are quiet, other times everyone arrives at the same time and every table is full. We’re looking for someone who can adapt to different situations, handle being on their feet, like customer service, and can lift 20lbs.
MAST & a food-handler’s card will be needed after being hired.
If interested, email the thenocturnalhound@gmail.com for a job application.
