Inga’s Bar is a neighborhood tavern located in Brooklyn Heights serving a simple yet refined seasonal menu, thoughtfully crafted cocktails and natural wines. Having worked in restaurants for years we decided to open Inga’s because we love hospitality and taking care of people. We are a very busy restaurant, so focus, passion and teamwork are essential. 

Runners are responsible for assisting service by running food, bussing, and helping with side work throughout the shift. Runners are expected to learn and maintain knowledge of the menu and should be comfortable with giving basic descriptions of dishes as they are delivered to guests.

Good communication skills are key to this position. In addition to bringing dishes from the kitchen to the guests, runners help relay information- from guests to servers, and between the kitchen and the Front of House staff. Positivity in coworker and guest interactions is essential to our style of hospitality.

Specific job duties include, but are not limited to:

• Maintaining tables by removing finished dishes and empty glassware, replenishing utensils, and being alert to guest needs
• Delivering dishes to guests and providing a brief description of dishes 
• Working with the team to ensure setup of the kitchen pass prior to service 
• Maintaining sanitation of service areas to Department of Health standards 

In addition to these specific skills, runners are expected to help maintain cleanliness of the kitchen pass, tables, and the dining room in general. All employees are expected to show up on time and ready to work for their scheduled shifts and adhere to our shift coverage / call out requirements in the event they are unable to work a shift.
