Front of House Staff

All Together Now is a community-focused place for people to shop, eat, drink, and share tasty things. Our team guides people through artisan cheese and charcuterie options, helps narrow down choices on our natural wine shelves, engages with guests via traditional table service, pours glasses of wine and beer, and works with our kitchen and the rest of the team to make sure each guest has a fun and tasty time. They also do what's necessary to support these experiences, from ringing up guest transactions to cleaning to stocking and merchandising.

Our service team has their hands in a bit of everything. As a member of this crew, your day will include:

• Efficiently managing the ways our guests engage with us (online ordering, phone calls, in-store shopping, on-premise dining) while working independently and establishing priorities.
• Selling cheese, wine, charcuterie, and the rest of our treats to guests.
• Engaging in friendly, detail-oriented table service for dine-in guests.
• Preparing and packing orders for cheese, charcuterie, wine, made-to-order food, and other grocery items.
• Working the cheese counter. This includes building cheese boards, working with guests on cheese selections and cutting to order, maintaining the cheese case, and using the meat slicer.
• Making wine recommendations to guests from our 150+ bottles on the shelves. This includes folks shopping for retail wine as well as those dining in.
• Packing out housemade and bulk items to maintain par levels.
• Receiving deliveries, stocking the shelves in all categories, and maintaining our storage areas.

Our ideal candidate is all of the usual things (punctual, hardworking, quick learner) plus the below.

• An empathetic, kind, respectful approach to customer service and coworker interactions is an absolute must.
• A sense of humor is a big plus.
• Ability to meet all safety and sanitation requirements.
• Experience in quick-paced customer service environments, ideally restaurants.
• Proficiency in wine or cheese is awesome but not required if you've got the hustle, curiosity, and inclination to learn.
• Flexibility and enthusiasm for new ideas and initiatives is crucial.

Compensation is based on length of employment and job performance, and consists of an hourly base wage plus tips. Take-home pay with tips has been averaging $22-24 per hour for our newest team members and $28-30 per hour for those who've been with us the longest. Tips come in as a mandatory 20% service charge to all dine-in checks. We pool the service charge and distribute it equally between all hourly, non-managing front and back of house staff. Additional voluntary gratuities left by guests are pooled and distributed among front-of-house staff.

Benefits include $400 per month in health plan reimbursement for qualified full-time staff, paid sick leave, paid time off, access to a retirement plan, and a 30% shopping discount. We'll also make a big deal about your birthday.⁠

We are currently hiring for one full-time and one part-time server. Our hiring process includes internal review of applicants, a brief questionnaire sent to folks we'd like to hear more from, an in-person interview, and a short 2-3 hour stage. ⁠
