Servers | The Paris Café | NYC
Pay: $11/hr + tips | Full-Time & Part-Time | Dinner & Late-Night Availability Strongly Preferred
Location: 119 South Street, Manhattan (Seaport District)
The Paris Café is officially open in the Seaport. First opened in 1873, this New York landmark is back with a reimagined menu rooted in French bistro classics, a strong beverage program, and an atmosphere built for late-night energy, private events, and everyday elegance.
We are building a fast, sharp, and high-energy front-of-house team. Servers here are not just delivering plates; they set the tone for an experience that is part dining room, part late-night destination. With entertainment programming rolling out in the evenings, this role requires attentiveness, anticipation, and an exuberant personality to keep service seamless while the vibe builds.
What We’re Looking For:
• 2+ years of restaurant serving experience in NYC or Europe
• Familiarity with French cuisine and fine dining standards
• Confidence managing full sections in a high-volume, high-energy environment
• Strong knowledge of food, wine, and classic cocktails
• Toast POS experience
• Attentive, energetic, and polished floor presence
• Clear, upbeat communication and a team-first mentality
• Availability for dinner and late-night shifts
• Legally authorized to work in the U.S. with valid ID(s)
Bonus Points For:
• Brunch or large-party coordination experience
• Ingredient-driven or seasonal menu familiarity
• Training in classic or old-school service models
• Background in nightlife, music venues, or event-driven service
Why This Role Matters:
This is not just a reopening. It is a revival. The Paris Café is built on history, style, and a modern edge. Our guests come for food and drink, but they also come for energy, attention, and an atmosphere that feels alive. With entertainment programming and late-night events in the mix, we need servers who thrive in dynamic spaces, anticipate guest needs before they are spoken, and create a sense of theater on the floor.
