Not every server is a hospitality person at heart. We are looking for the ones who are.

The people who genuinely love food and beverage. Who enjoy learning about ingredients, seasonality, and wine because they want to share it with guests. Who connect naturally with the people at their tables and the team around them, and who enjoy the energy of a great service.

At Gjelina NY, we’re looking for Servers who feel at home on the floor: people who take pride in thoughtful, warm service, know the menu inside and out, and help create the kind of experience guests remember.

Our servers set the tone for the room. Their presence and care are what guests feel first.

• Provide warm, attentive, and knowledgeable service to every guest
• Guide guests through the menu, wine, and beverage program with confidence
• Share the story behind our ingredients, seasonality, and daily specials
• Work closely with bussers, runners, bartenders, and the kitchen to keep service smooth
• Attend pre-shifts and stay current on menu changes and daily priorities
• Handle guest needs and feedback thoughtfully, involving management when needed
• Process orders and payments accurately through the POS system
• Maintain high standards for cleanliness, organization, and presentation in your section
• Follow all health, safety, and company policies

What We’re Looking For

• 1+ years of serving experience in a high-volume, full-service restaurant
• Genuine passion for food, beverage, and hospitality
• Wine and beverage knowledge, or a real desire to learn
• Natural presence and ability to connect with guests
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Calm and good judgment in a fast-paced environment
• Hands-on attitude and willingness to support the team wherever needed
• Familiarity with POS systems
• NYC Food Protection Certificate a plus
• Availability for Saturday and Sunday brunch and Monday and Tuesday dinner is required
