WE’RE HIRING: FULL-TIME FRONT OF HOUSE

Job Description

Full-Time Front of House | Pay + Tips $60,000+

The Smoked Culture is looking for the right person to join our team full-time. 

We’re a fast-casual BBQ restaurant, but the experience we give our guests is anything but basic. We believe in taking care of people...greeting them, learning their names, keeping the dining room cared for, checking in, running food, anticipating what guests need, and making sure everyone who walks through our doors feels welcome.

Relationships matter here. Everyone has a seat at our table.

Schedule: Tuesday–Saturday, 12:30–8:30 PM
Sundays + Mondays off
Full-time, consistent schedule
Pay + tips: $60,000+ annual earning potential

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Naturally warm, friendly and comfortable talking with people
• Reliable and ready to be an important part of a small team
• Fast-moving and able to stay organized when we’re busy
• Someone who notices what needs to be done and jumps in
• Proud of keeping a clean, welcoming dining room
• Comfortable taking orders, serving guests, running food and caring for the floor
• The kind of person who wants regulars to walk in and feel like they’re coming somewhere they belong

Restaurant experience is great, but personality, work ethic and how you treat people matter even more to us.

We’re a locally owned, family-friendly restaurant with great BBQ, a patio, pinball and a lot of really wonderful regulars. If you want a restaurant job where you can actually build relationships with the people you serve...and earn a great living doing it...we’d love to meet you. :)
