“It was a bold man that first ate an oyster” – and we’re sure glad he did.
At Jake’s Grill and Oyster House, fresh oysters and seafood are our specialties. We’ve been serving the Burlington community since 1985, with no sign of stopping. Now, we’re looking for our next Oyster Shucker.
If you’re looking for a long-term opportunity, and a chance to make life-long friends while making great money, look no more.
Oyster Shucker:
As our latest Oyster Shucker, your main responsibility is to be “the face of the business” behind the wood. You will:
- shuck oysters at the bar (we’ll teach you how!)
- prepare drinks for servers on our service bar
- maintain bar cleanliness throughout your shift
You have a passion for mouth-watering food and beverage. You’ll have no problem learning our menu, and you’ll love giving guests appetizing recommendations.
The Right Fit:
What’s most important to us is that we find a person who’ll fit in with our team and enjoy working with us. You’ll fit right in if you are:
- Engaging – you’re friendly and outgoing, and love getting to know your guests. You know how to read your customers, and intuitively give them the type of service they want.
- Team-oriented – we’ll always have your back, because we’re in it together. When it gets busy, managers don’t hesitate to jump on service bar to help you out. Like us, you’re always willing to pitch in to help.
- Cool under pressure – multitasking comes naturally to you. When things get busy, you stay calm and collected, and don’t let the fast-pace faze you. Our guests will appreciate your sense of urgency and attentiveness.
