Volstead’s Emporium is hiring a Server to join our front-of-house team. We’re a speakeasy with craft cocktails, dinner service, and live entertainment. We’re looking for someone who can make a first-time guest feel like a regular, talk comfortably about food and cocktails, and keep service moving when the room gets busy.

What you’ll do

• Own your section from the first greet to the final check, staying attentive to what each table needs throughout the visit.

• Learn the food and beverage menus, including ingredients and flavor profiles, so you can offer thoughtful recommendations based on what guests enjoy.

• Take accurate orders in SAIL and communicate allergies and dietary requests clearly to the kitchen and bar.

• Stay aware of reservation timing, and coordinate with the host team to keep seating on track.

• Work with bartenders, hosts/wait assistants, and the kitchen to run food, clear and reset tables, and support teammates during busy service.

• Address guest concerns promptly and bring in a lead or manager when needed.

• Follow house standards for responsible alcohol service, cleanliness, and opening and closing side work.

What we’re looking for

• Previous full-service restaurant experience preferred. Experience in a cocktail-focused restaurant or upscale dining setting is a plus.

• A warm, confident service style and the ability to stay organized while managing multiple tables.

• Curiosity about food and cocktails and a willingness to learn the menu in detail.

• Clear communication, dependable attendance, and a team-first approach.

• Evening and weekend availability, including Fridays and Saturdays.

• A commitment to making Volstead’s welcoming to guests and coworkers of all backgrounds and identities
