Restaurant That jobs in Sidney, BC

POSITION OVERVIEW

Our Sidney brewery taproom is looking for an experienced Team Member for a part-time CLOSING SHIFT position with shifts available weekends and some weekdays (you must be available at least one day on the weekend to apply). Closing shifts are regularly scheduled until 10:30 pm or later, so you must have reliable transportation available to you late at night for this role. Number of hours each week is flexible between 10 and 29 hours, according to business needs and your preference. In July and August, we may have more hours available if you wish to increase your hours during the summer.

We will require an employment reference from an employer for whom you worked in the food+beverage hospitality industry (not accommodation hospitality). We are particularly interested in those with either food assembly experience (for example, previous work at a Subway, Starbucks, McDonald's, pizzeria, deli, bakery, or cafe) or with FOH and BOH experience at a restaurant. However, we will consider applications with a variety of related hospitality experience!

You will be trained in our food and beverage menus, food assembly, expediting, bussing, doing dishes, and cleaning to start, with an opportunity to learn the bar and till after you have mastered these skills.
