We are looking for experienced Servers who can confidently manage a busy section while understanding that great service extends beyond their own tables. Our Senior Servers are expected to be knowledgeable, organized, reliable and engaged members of the entire restaurant team.

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience in a busy, full-service restaurant
• Excellent guest service and communication skills
• Strong food and menu knowledge
• Strong wine and beverage knowledge
• Confident wine presentation and service
• Ability to make thoughtful food and beverage recommendations
• Strong section management and table awareness
• Ability to maintain service standards during high-volume periods
• Good judgment and problem-solving skills
• Strong sense of urgency
• Professional appearance and conduct
• Reliable and punctual
• Positive, team-focused approach

Availability

This is a full-time Senior Server position.

Applicants must be:

• Available seven days per week
• Available for both lunch and dinner services
• Available to be scheduled for a minimum of four shifts per week

Please only apply for the Senior Server position if you can meet these availability requirements.

The Senior Server Role

Senior Server at The Oxley is a position of increased responsibility and trust.

Our Senior Servers are expected to:

• Confidently manage a full section
• Provide warm, attentive and knowledgeable service
• Maintain strong knowledge of the food and beverage offering
• Confidently discuss and recommend wine
• Understand ingredients, preparation and common dietary requirements
• Recognize and respond to service issues
• Support Junior Servers and less experienced team members
• Work effectively with the kitchen, bar, hosts and management
• Contribute to the overall success of the floor rather than focusing solely on their own section
• Consistently maintain The Oxley's service and professional standards

Senior Servers participate in the restaurant's Senior Server tip allocation, reflecting the increased standards and responsibilities of the position.

Who We're Looking For

We want professional Servers who take pride in what they do.

You know your menu. You know your beverages. You understand hospitality. You notice what needs to be done and act without always needing to be asked.

You can handle a busy service without losing your composure, and you understand that strong restaurant service is a team effort.

At The Oxley, Senior Server is a standard of performance, not simply a reflection of how long someone has been serving.

If this describes the way you approach hospitality, we'd like to hear from you.
