The Role

The Food Runner connects Centrale’s kitchen and dining room. You deliver dishes with accuracy and care, understand what is on each plate and help the service team keep a busy room running smoothly.

What you will do
  • Learn the menu, dish presentation, ingredients and the restaurant’s allergy and dietary-request procedures.
  • Coordinate with the kitchen pass and service team so the right dishes reach the right table and seat.
  • Check ticket details and instructions, and ask the appropriate team member to resolve any uncertainty before delivery.
  • Present dishes clearly and professionally, following the restaurant’s service and table-talk standards.
  • Communicate course readiness, missing items, guest requests and other service needs promptly.
  • Support bread and beverage delivery, table setup, clearing and resets as assigned.
  • Keep service routes, workstations and the pass organized while following kitchen and dish-area protocols.
  • Complete assigned preparation and side work, handling hot dishes, serviceware and equipment safely.
What you bring
  • Two years of relevant experience and familiarity with high-volume restaurant service.
  • Attention to detail and the ability to learn table numbers, seat positions and menu information.
  • Clear communication with the kitchen, dining room and guests.
  • A reliable, cooperative approach and the ability to stay focused during busy service.
  • Commitment to safe handling, cleanliness and accurate communication of allergy instructions.
  • Proficiency with Toast or related hospitality systems, and weekend availability.

We’re committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace. All applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran, or disability status.

Italian

Casual Dining

Part of Vizz Group LLC

At Osteria Centrale, Italian hospitality meets the unmistakable energy of Grand Central Terminal. We’re bringing a lively Italian restaurant and bar to one of New York’s most extraordinary settings, with food, aperitivo and wine at the center of the experience. It’s a place for lunch in the middle of a busy day, a drink before the train, and the kind of warm welcome that turns first-time guests into regulars.

Behind that experience is a team that takes pride in its craft, stays sharp when the room is full and looks after one another. For people who love the pace and personality of a great restaurant, Centrale is a chance to help shape something new in the heart of the city.
