Position Description
Part-Time Server -- Friday and Saturday Evenings
About Us
We’re building something small and special: a tasting menu restaurant designed to feel like your best friend invited you over for dinner—only they happen to be an amazing cook.
It’s intimate on purpose. Every night feels like a dinner party: cozy, intentional, and full of little surprises. The food is thoughtful and delicious, but what really lingers is how it feels to be there.
The Role
As a Server at Sam’s Table, you are the experience. You’re the heartbeat of the dining room, the connector, the storyteller, and the memory-maker. You’ll guide guests through their evening with confidence, joy, and a generosity of spirit. You’ll collaborate with our kitchen, align with your team, and bring your full self to every service. Most of all, you’ll help us turn a simple night out into a moment someone remembers forever.
Your Mission
● Greet every guest with warmth, curiosity, and authenticity — not because you have to, but because you want to.
● Anticipate needs before they’re spoken. Exceed expectations not with grand gestures, but with thoughtful details.
● Create connection. Learn names. Celebrate birthdays. Remember their favorite wine from last time — and pour it before they even ask.
● Collaborate with the kitchen, leadership, and fellow team members to create seamless, gracious service.
● Know the story behind the food. Understand every dish, every ingredient, and what inspired it — so you can tell it with heart.
Requirements
Friday and Saturday evening availability is required.
● A passion for hospitality as a meaningful act of service.
● Emotional intelligence, empathy, and a drive to connect with others.
● Curiosity about food, wine, coffee, and what makes great service unforgettable.
● Previous restaurant experience in a fine dining restaurant is desired, but attitude and presence matter even more.
Benefits
• Paid sick time
• Family meal provided each shift
Work Location In person, 377 Bloomfield Ave., Montclair
