Server

Kitchen Istanbul is currently seeking a server to work 2-4 dinner shifts per week. We are open Thursday through Monday for dinner service.

Role overview : As a server, you will be expected to manage a section, take orders, run food, clear tables, and assist with side work. At Kitchen Istanbul, we do not operate with a back waiter, so servers are tasked with complete control of their section.

Please note that we are a team-focused restaurant and encourage open communication and collaboration. If you need a hand with a task, you can always ask.

Serving responsibilities :

• Running a section, including water service, food orders, firing dishes, running plates, resetting, check presentation, etc.
• BTG service with an eye toward learning the wine list.
• Table times and pacing awareness
• Complete menu knowledge, including ingredient sourcing, dish inspiration / regionality, and any possible allergens.
• Assistance with all FOH side work tasks, such as polishing, cleaning, and general restaurant maintenance.
• Awareness of KI’s service standards and hierarchy of tasks.
• The ability to just be a levelheaded, solid person and share genuine hospitality with our guests.

We are a small restaurant with a tight-knit team and it’s important that everyone on the floor knows that we have each other's backs. There is no “not-my-job” mentality allowed. As you grow in your role, we expect you to be able to see what needs doing and execute accordingly.
