What do you look for in a new employee?

When considering a strong employee, there are a few core qualities that consistently stand out.

First, professionalism and presentation matter. An employee who is presentable (both in appearance and communication), helps create a positive and trustworthy impression. This includes being respectful, organized, and able to interact appropriately with colleagues, and guests.

Reliability and attendance are essential. Valued team members show up consistently, are punctual, and can be counted on to follow through on assigned tasks. This builds trust within the team and will ensure smooth day-to-day operations.

Equally important is adaptability, especially in a fast-paced environment. Workplaces often require quick thinking, flexibility, and the ability to shift priorities when needed. An employee who can stay calm under pressure, learn quickly, and adjust to changing demands adds significant value.

Overall, the idea employee is professional, dependable, and able to thrive in a dynamic, high-paced setting while maintaining a positive and collaborative attitude.

 

What advice would you give someone who wants to work for your organization?

Your health is your wealth! Particularly in physically demanding jobs. Eating well, maintaining hobbies, and resting properly will have a noticeable impact on your professional success.

Look at challenges as opportunities for growth and development. You will experience failure and that is OK. The most impactful lessons are learned this way. The ability to take those lessons to heart, pick up and move forward is valuable beyond measure.

Remember that growth happens outside of your comfort zone!

 

Do you anticipate hiring in the next 6 months? If so, for what types of positions?

Yes! We are currently looking to hire for our line cook and dishwasher positions and are always open to receiving applications for front and back of house roles.
