  • Ensure every event runs profitably, efficiently, and with the highest standards of quality and service.

What We're Looking For:

  • Prior experience as a lead server, shift captain, supervisor, or similar leadership role (6+ months required).
  • At least 2 years of customer service experience.
  • A hands-on leader with a passion for teamwork, problem-solving, and delivering exceptional results.
  • Flexible availability (weekdays, evenings, weekends, holidays).
  • Valid Wisconsin driver's license and reliable transportation.
  • Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a positive, energetic attitude.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, physically active environment.
