The Role

At Blockhead, servers aren’t just taking orders, you’re part of the show. 

You’ll be welcoming guests, guiding them through our bold food & drink menu, and teaming up with your crew to deliver a top-tier experience. 

This isn’t a lone-wolf job, we run like a squad. You’ll own your tables, but everyone jumps in to help each other, so we all win.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Greet guests like you’re hosting a great party
• Recommend awesome food & drink combos (yes, we’ll train you)
• Send in accurate orders (special requests? No problem.)
• Know your stuff—our Blockhead beers, cocktails, mocktails, and food
• Help keep the place looking great (pre-bussing, stocking, resetting)
• Run food, refill drinks, support your team
• Handle payments smoothly and with a smile
• Say “thanks” like you mean it when guests head out
• Wrap up your shift with team-assigned side work

What Makes This Job Different

At Blockhead, we don’t tip pool, but we do team hustle. 

Everyone helps each other out—running food, bussing tables, refilling drinks. 

This kind of shared effort creates an awesome vibe, strong friendships, and a better guest experience. You’re never flying solo, and your effort gets noticed.

What You’ll Need

• Indiana Alcohol Serving Permit (or ready to get it)
• Restaurant experience = nice, but not a dealbreaker
• A people-first mindset - you’re friendly, respectful, and easy to talk to
• Strong communication skills
• Ability to keep it together when things get busy (because they will)
• Willingness to learn our POS and food safety basics
• A team player attitude (no egos here)

Bonus Traits

• You like working with people
• You keep cool under pressure
• You want your job to actually be fun
• You’re organized and pay attention to the little things
• You care about doing things right, not just fast
