About the Role

  • Clear tables, clean the seating area, and restock customer supplies throughout the shift
  • Assist with weekend setup and breakdown tasks as part of the opening or closing team
  • Communicate proactively with teammates about task status, supply needs, and customer situations
  • Adapt to shifting priorities as the pace of weekend service changes throughout the day
  • Maintain a positive attitude and consistent energy through the full weekend rush — the team and customers notice
