Front of House Server

**About Radical Gardens** We're a from-scratch, farm-to-table restaurant, bakery and catering company. Everything on the plate starts with what Northern Ontario grows, raises and forages, on our farm and the farms around us. Restaurant, bakery, tea service and catering all run on one team under one roof. Our menu turns with the season, and Chef's specials come and go as ingredients come available — so the board is never quite the same twice. We hold Feast Ontario certification and an eco LEAF designation. Our dining room is small by design: seven to eight tables, twenty seats, and an open kitchen where guests watch everything being made. **You will never work alone** This is the part that makes us different, and it's why our team works. At Radical Gardens, front of house is not one person carrying a room by themselves. Our cooks are cross-trained in serving and hospitality, and every one of them is a trained bartender. On any given shift, the whole crew runs food, makes cocktails, answers the phone, takes orders and looks after guests together. Front of house and back of house are one team, not two. Our bar sits out the back, out of sight of the dining room. Two things follow from that. Nobody is watching over your shoulder while you build a drink. And when you're in the weeds, help is already stepping in, not eventually, and not after you've asked twice. If you've worked somewhere that left you alone with six tables and no help, you know exactly how much that matters. What it means for this role: you're the hospitality lead on shift, the person whose full-time focus is the guest, who sets the standard and demonstrates it, not a solo operator who sinks or swims alone. We want to give our guests the best possibly hospitality and experience we can so full attention is given to the dining room by everyone. **What you would be doing** * Looking after your section from hello to goodbye - greeting, guiding, serving, and sending people home happy. * Running food with the name and the story of the dish. Our guests ask what is in things, and we expect real answers. * Making drinks - cocktail builds, wine service, teas and non-alcoholic options. * Handling payment, POS and cash-outs accurately. * Opening and closing the room, keeping the pastry display stocked, clean and merchandised. * Helping the kitchen and the rest of the team. This is an open kitchen - hospitality is everyone's job here. * Answering the phone, taking bookings and helping out with caterings and events when the schedule calls for it. **What we are looking for** * Smart Serve certification - current at hire. We need it before your first shift, not after. * Food Handler certification - current at hire. Every person on our floor is a certified handler, without exception. * Non-slip shoes - on your feet on day one. Non-negotiable. * Two years of restaurant serving, and a year of craft cocktail and wine. We're not guessing at this: our room runs on product knowledge, guests ask
