Our staff is a great bunch of people who work well together and help each other out!

Compensation starts at $12 per hour, plus an equal share of pooled tips (including tips & base wage, this typically works out to $22 / hr – $25 / hr). Tips are divided among staff based on hours worked over a two week pay period. During a brief training period, you will receive a half share of the tip pool.

When you apply, tell us why you think you’d be a great fit for our adventurous, dynamic program. It’s in everyone’s best interest for candidates to include a cover letter specific to this establishment. A candidate with a generic or missing cover letter will likely be given less attention than those that offer a sense of their passions, attitude and experience. Thanks!
