Front Waiter Jobs

Chefs John & Karen Shields’ 2 Star Michelin destination, Smyth, is seeking both a Front Waiter and Captain. Responsibilities include having in-depth knowledge of dishes, preparation methods, and ingredients, assisting the expeditor, keeping service team abreast of dish changes, and conveying John & Karen's vision through food. Exceptional wine knowledge is also required. These roles are highly guest-facing, and grace under pressure is a key characteristic to success.
Smyth features a tasting menu that showcases locally-grown ingredients from our partners from around the Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan areas. Our beverage offerings are highly wine-driven, with three pairing options available, so competency with wine knowledge and service are both key. We are open Tuesday through Saturday and full-time availability is needed for these roles.
We seek candidates with a passion for knowledge & growth and a genuine interest in the art of hospitality. We prefer individuals with at least one year of experience but appreciate those who express curiosity and a passion for the industry. Additional benefits include daily staff meal, company-supplemented health insurance and 401k eligibility after one year of employment.
All offers of employment are conditioned upon the candidate providing proof that they are fully-vaccinated (i.e. two weeks after the second shot for a 2-dose vaccine such as Pfizer or Moderna, or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine such as Johnson & Johnson). We are of course willing to consider requests for accommodation on an individualized basis.
