Paladar 511 is hiring a Busser

Paladar 511 is a seasonal Cal-Italian restaurant in the Marigny that strives to be a well-rounded, affordable place for all kinds of folks to enjoy. We want Paladar to feel like the restaurant that WE want to visit on our nights off. We work hard to cultivate a workplace culture that is supportive, healthy, and equitable for all who work here. In turn, we expect that everyone on our staff is dedicated, hard working, and knowledgeable (or excited about learning new things.) We are dedicated to working as a cohesive and supportive team, blending the lines between front and back of house to help each other when we need it and build empathy for each other.

Ideally, at your core you are a person with a passion for taking care of people and service, excellent communication skills, excited about food and wine, and can adapt to a fast-paced and team-oriented environment.

The following are the expectations for a busser at Paladar:

Conduct yourself in a professional manner, including:
Being on time to all scheduled shifts
Having a thorough and extensive knowledge of food and beverage, or the drive to learn and grow your knowledge of food and beverage
Work in a clean and organized manner
Practicing excellent communication
Being able to be flexible and adjust to changing circumstances
Feel comfortable performing in a variety of roles on any given shift (you will be expected to bus and reset tables, work within our systems, run food, help with some kitchen tasks)
Provide excellent service to both your customers and your coworkers
Assist the team based on our outlined steps of service and protocol
Follow and thoroughly complete checklists with the mindset that you want to set up yourself and your team for success
Is comfortable working closely with coworkers and management staff to resolve any issues that may arise

While we are hiring a busser right now, we are dedicated to having everyone on our team strive to cross-train and eventually move into brunch serving -> barbacking -> dinner serving. The drive to learn and grow is a huge Paladar value and we hope you think so, too!

Saturdays and Sundays are a necessary availability, including a willingness to work Brunch shifts when necessary.

If you are interested in this role and future growth with us, please respond with a little blurb about yourself as well as your favorite dish or cocktail - and why!! We are excited to hear from you!
