Job Details
Cafe Triste is a wine bar/restaurant in Chinatown, Los Angeles focused on natural wine and well sourced ingredients.  We serve a full Cafe Menu nightly, a mix of hot and cold dishes ranging from snacks to more substantial plates.  Our style of food is seasonal, contemporary cuisine.  Hard to summarize but a mix of bright flavors and textures, not flashy but quietly technical.  It is a small and focused menu, cooked in a kitchen with just 2 induction burners and a toaster essentially, but what comes out are serious, focused dishes with a lot of spirit.  Real food.

A line cook at Triste shows up at 2:30 to set-up their station and prep, running service solo, and breaking down at 10pm.  During service in addition to cooking, all staff participates in bussing and running, washing plates, and pouring wine.  It's intimate where everybody has their hands in everything.  This job is a set schedule of two days a week, with opportunity to pick up extra shifts as needed.  Very good tips.

Triste a fun and creative environment with open communication and no ego.  Our style of service is more common abroad but unique in Los Angeles.  We focus on a small team who all work together to create a really special and unique environment.  The cooperative nature of Triste makes this a uniquely-dynamic opportunity for someone interested in engaging deeply with natural wine and service, in addition to the food program.   Ideal candidates are excellent communicators with solid foundations who think creatively, know how to problem solve, and are enthusiastic learners.  This is a very visible role so composure is important as is a general sense of calm in a busy environment.  An interest in learning about wine, going to the farmer’s market or experience cooking in restaurants where either was a focus is a plus.  We want to find someone who can grow with us.
