  •  Set the tone for the guest experience from the moment they arrive 
  •  Maintain accuracy and pacing between FOH and BOH 
  •  Communicate effectively with servers, bartenders, and leadership 
  •  Uphold our standards for hospitality, presence, and professionalism 

Position Details:
  • Full-time

Why Birdseye:
This is a place where guests come for the view, and come back for how they felt while they were here. We are building a team that takes pride in creating that experience consistently, at a high level.
