Do you love delivering superior hospitality to others through kindness and delicious food?
Are you looking for an opportunity to learn the ins and outs of a restaurant in a supportive and safe environment?
Do you thrive in a fast-paced, organized restaurant environment?
If so, then Myers + Chang is the place for YOU!
At M+C, we’re looking for a highly motivated individual to excel as our Service Assistant. This position is critical to ensuring smooth, exceptional service from the moment a guest walk in until they leave.
As a Service Assistant, you are the backbone of the dining room, ensuring our service team can deliver top-tier hospitality by keeping the flow of tables, dishes, and equipment moving seamlessly.
This position offers a fantastic opportunity for professional development and training in multiple disciplines within the restaurant, including supporting the team on the floor and bar, and learning about the ins and outs of a successful shift.
Success in this role requires effective time management skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and efficiently in a fast-paced environment.
Service Assistant Duties
● Clear and re-set tables quickly and thoroughly following established standards, ensuring tables are pristine and ready for the next reservation.
● Clear and organize glass racks, silverware, and plates from the dish area, assisting the dish team with flow and organization.
● Assist with running food or drinks, and refilling waters to support the service team and expedite the guest experience.
● Help to keep all dining and service spaces clean and organized, including restocking supplies, sweeping floors, and polishing glassware/cutlery.
● Communicate effectively with the rest of the team (FOH and BOH) to ensure a smooth guest flow and service experience, particularly during peak service periods.
General Responsibilities
● Replenish items as needed during the shift to ensure a clean, organized, and well-stocked restaurant.
● Assist with setting up and breaking down any special promotions, events, or holiday items.
● Participate in the welcoming and training of new team members.
● Adhere to all safety, sanitation, and cleanliness guidelines and company policies.
● Perform other duties as assigned to support operations and elevate the guest experience.
Expected Schedule
● At this time, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. This may be subject to change depending on business needs.
Compensation: The pay rate for this position is $6.75 per hour plus tips. Tips generally range on average from $15- $25 per hour. In the unlikely event that the hourly rate plus tips for any given shift does not equal $15.00, Myers + Chang will pay the additional amount needed to meet this rate for that shift.
Skills for Qualification
● Hospitality driven with a commitment to providing exceptional guest experiences.
● Ability to think outside the box, as needed, to ensure a balanced and efficient floor using sound judgment.
● Open to feedback and committed to continuous improvement.
● Excellent attendance, reliability, communication, attention to detail, and interpersonal skills.
