We at Anomaly SF are seeking a new member of our growing team! As we are a very small business this position combines traditional backwaiting/polishing duties with food running of our 10+ course tasting menu, to create a part- or full-time engagement for the right individual.
YOU: are self-motivated and detail-oriented, and like to have a set of rhythms to go through each day setting up for service - cleaning the dining room and setting tables, standard restaurant maintenance, and then joining into service where the backwaiter’s main goals are supporting the captains with table service, maintaining water and noticing when guests might like new beverages, setting tables for next courses and working with the team to ensure every guest gets to hear each team member’s different perspective on our seasonal dishes. You are curious about tastes and fine dining and want to learn something new every day, and hold yourself to a high standard of professionalism.
WE: pride ourselves on creating beautiful experiences for guests and pushing ourselves to excellence while practicing the less-pretentious hospitality of the South and making sure we enjoy every day working together as a team. We work to make sure every individual working with us is sure about their contribution and what they’re working towards, and that we develop into the roles we are striving for by moving forward every day.
Pay will be a combination of hourly and tips - we are a service charge included environment but when we all really hit our notes in service we see more tip activity than in many environments like ours. The hourly plus tip rate will likely land somewhere between $27-$35, with the potential to grow into additional responsibilities and a higher rate on review.
Prior experience is less important in this role than the right skill set and attitude, so if this sounds like it might be fun and a good fit for you write in and let us know why you’d like to be considered and we’ll take it from there. Looking forward to hearing from y’all!
