Job Description

Drake’s is a neighborhood restaurant and bar with an unconventional spirit. Dedicated to giving everyone a place to come play, everything at Drake’s—from our atmosphere to our team and our menu—is designed with an infectious energy that ensures everyone leaves with a story to tell. We’re not afraid to push the boundaries (and maybe break a few rules) to give guests an experience like no other. After all, we’re the restaurant that dared to put burgers and sushi on the same menu. At Drake’s, we’re always looking for big smiles, outgoing personalities, and unique individuals to join our family. We work hard and play harder!

Check us out on social media (@drakescomeplay) to see for yourself just how much fun we have.

Greet every guest with a warm welcome as they enter—and a sincere thank-you when they leave
Manage the seating flow of the restaurant to ensure a smooth and positive guest experience
Answer phones and provide guests with helpful information about Drake’s and our menu
Communicate with servers, managers, and the kitchen to keep everything running smoothly

Occasionally lift up to 20 pounds and assist with light cleaning/setup
Assist in maintaining a clean and inviting front-of-house environment
Deliver 100% guest satisfaction—every guest, every time

What We’re Looking For:
Friendly, outgoing personality with strong communication skills
Positive attitude and a team-first mindset
Food service or retail experience preferred, but not required
Basic food safety knowledge is a plus
