Server TMC

We have transitioned our space into a brand-new concept, and we’re looking for high-energy people to help us bring it to life! We have launched into a spirited, Southwestern-inspired restaurant and bar that is heavily BBQ-forward, where the vibe is casual and modern. While we’re evolving our identity, we’re dedicated to keeping the quality- not just in the ingredients, but with our staff as well! The menu contains things like slow-cooked meats, Tex-Mex and Southwestern inspired dishes, and some fan favorites from our other restaurants. This will be a menu that is inclusive of gluten-free and allergen-friendly diets, so we’re looking for people who are as committed as we are to providing a safe environment for the guests who have these requests. On the bar side, we will have many kinds of beers, a menu of crafted cocktails, and a heavy focus on fresh margaritas. We need a team that is comfortable in a fast-paced environment and genuinely enjoys the hospitality industry as we aren’t looking for corporate robots; we want people with personality- Especially people who can help us establish a new culture from day one, and people who can make the workplace feel like a haven, rather than a chore. Even if you come into your position not knowing everything, we provide plenty of training and coaching to make sure that you feel confident- because when you’re confident, you’re successful. We’re looking for adaptable people who have a willingness to learn, grow, and evolve, so that we can foster a healthy, productive, creative, and collaborative environment! Whether you’re working the pit or the front of house, our number one goal is to provide a relaxed but professional experience for our guests, and a fun and profitable experience for our employees. So, if you have a passion for bold flavors, wood-fire cooking, delicious drinks, a blooming workplace culture, and a vibrant atmosphere- we’d love to talk to you about joining the crew as we start this new chapter!
