You’ve got your own station under control—but for us, it’s about more than just a perfect service process.
You’re attentive, responsive to our guests, and able to recognize what they need. You’re familiar with our food and drinks, can make recommendations, and enjoy helping our guests discover the perfect wine or drink to pair with their meal.
From mise en place and table setup to the actual service, billing, payment collection, and closing out, you take full responsibility for your station.
At the same time, you’ll serve as the point of contact for commis de rang, apprentices, and interns. You’ll support them during daily service, share your knowledge, and work with the entire restaurant team to ensure a professional and respectful work environment.
And if something doesn’t go according to plan, you’ll find a good solution—straightforward, professional, and always with the guest in mind.
