THE ROLE

Join a high-energy restaurant team committed to delivering a dynamic, sensory-driven dining experience every night. We are an elevated hospitality concept that values excellence, teamwork, and genuine care for our guests, our team, and our community. Our culture is fast-paced, standards-driven, and built around creating memorable experiences through thoughtful, polished service, with the ambition of redefining “the night out” in Los Angeles.

We are seeking motivated, guest-focused, and detail-oriented Back Servers to join our team. This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in supporting exceptional service, thrives in a fast-moving environment, and understands that every detail matters in creating a seamless guest experience.

The Back Server plays a vital role in the flow and success of the dining room.

Responsibilities include clearing and resetting flatware and glassware, assisting with table maintenance, supporting guest communication when appropriate, and anticipating both guest and team needs throughout service. The right candidate understands that excellent hospitality often comes from the details guests may never consciously notice, but always feel.

Success in this role requires strong awareness, a sense of urgency, and a commitment to maintaining high standards in both service and presentation. We are looking for someone who is eager to learn, works well within a team, and takes pride in helping create an atmosphere that feels smooth, attentive, and exceptional from beginning to end.
