• Take accurate orders, flag allergies in the POS, and pace drinks and food to our standards
• Work as a team: full-table delivery, pre-bussing, helping your neighbor
• Keep your section, station and side work stocked and clean
• Handle payments and your end-of-day closeout accurately
What we're looking for
• 2+ years of serving experience in a full-service restaurant
• High-volume or breakfast/brunch experience strongly preferred
• Warm, upbeat and calm under pressure
• Comfortable handling cash and payments
• Weekends required (our busiest days); holidays as scheduled
• 18+ and authorized to work in the U.S.
What we offer
• $2.83/hr + tips (at least $7.25/hr guaranteed with tips)
• Day shifts only: we close at 3pm every day
• Paid training (4 shifts), then you're on the floor
• Trade and pick up shifts in our scheduling app (manager-approved)
• Room to move up to Barista and Shift Supervisor
Sample schedule
• Opening: 7:15am to about 3:30pm
• Late open: about 9:00am to close
• Weekends required; holidays as scheduled

Turning Point – University City is a daytime restaurant serving breakfast, brunch, and lunch from 7:30am to 3:00pm, seven days a week. We're a 200-seat location in One uCity Square, in the middle of Philadelphia's innovation district — steps from Drexel, Penn, Penn Presbyterian, and the Science Center.
Everything is made to order. Scratch soups, dressings, and salsas, eggs cracked by hand all morning, a seasonal menu that changes through the year, and premium regional coffee.
Here's what makes working here different: no nights, ever. We're in early and out by mid-afternoon. No 11pm closes, no doubles, no missing dinner with your family. That schedule is the whole point — it's why our people stay.
We're a locally owned Turning Point franchise opening a brand-new restaurant with a founding team we intend to promote from. If you want to work in a serious, high-volume dining room and kitchen without giving up your evenings, come talk to us.
