Part-Time Seasonal Event Server

Part-Time Seasonal Event Server – Flexible / On-Call

Overview

Join the Private Events Team at Frontera Grill and Michelin-starred Topolobampo!

We're looking for experienced, hospitality-minded servers to join our team for our busy fall event season. This is a flexible, part-time "swing" position for people who want to pick up event shifts without committing to a set weekly schedule. It's a great fit if you already have another restaurant or full-time job, are in school, freelance, or simply want to pick up some extra shifts when you're available.

Our events team hosts everything from corporate dinners and cocktail receptions to celebrations, family-style feasts, and chef-driven tasting menus. Our service style is warm, professional, fast-paced, and genuinely guest-focused. We work hard, help each other out, eat some pretty great food, and believe that both our guests and our team should enjoy being here.

For the right candidates, there are opportunities to work events across both Frontera Grill and Michelin-starred Topolobampo, giving you experience with two different styles of hospitality—from the energetic service of Frontera to elevated Michelin-starred fine dining.

Responsibilities

• Provide warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly hospitality throughout private events.
• Serve food and beverages efficiently while maintaining high standards of presentation and service.
• Work a variety of events, including cocktail receptions, seated dinners, family-style meals, and multi-course tasting menus.
• Assist with event setup and breakdown, including moving tables and chairs, setting tables, polishing glassware and silverware, and resetting event spaces.
• Move quickly and efficiently during busy events while maintaining polished and thoughtful guest service.
• Communicate with the culinary and events teams to keep service running smoothly.
• Clear and reset tables promptly while staying aware of guests' needs throughout the event.
• Serve wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages confidently and professionally.
• Accommodate dietary restrictions, allergies, and special guest requests with care and attention to detail.
• Jump in wherever needed and support your teammates—we approach events as a team from setup through breakdown.
  

Requirements

• Previous restaurant, catering, banquet, private event, or hospitality experience preferred.
• A genuine interest in hospitality and taking great care of people.
• A positive attitude is required. We're proud of having a happy, supportive, guest-focused team and want people who contribute to that culture.
• Ability to work quickly and stay organized in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Basic wine and beverage knowledge preferred.
• Fine dining experience is a plus, but not required.
• Comfortable being on your feet for extended periods and handling the physical demands of event service, setup, and breakdown.
• Ability to lift and move event equipment, tables, chairs, trays, and other service items as needed.
• Reliable, punctual, and comfortable adapting to different events, service styles, and guest needs.
• Flexible availability during our busy fall event season.
