Job Description

Server – Kouklas Greek Eatery (Niles, IL)

Kouklas Greek Eatery is a high-volume, chef-driven restaurant focused on a shared, Mediterranean-style dining experience rooted in hospitality, precision, and flow.

Recently featured on WGN and NBC Chicago as one of the best new restaurants in Chicagoland , Kouklas is growing quickly as we prepare to open our 80-seat patio (which will be year-round) and expand into lunch service this summer .

Located in Niles, just 20–25 minutes from downtown Chicago , Kouklas offers the energy and volume of a city restaurant with easier access and parking.

We are building a team of career-minded hospitality professionals who take pride in their craft and operate at a high level.

About the Role

This is not a traditional server position.

At Kouklas, servers are expected to guide the guest experience , not just take orders. You will lead tables through a curated, share-style progression of dishes, managing pacing, balance, and flow from start to finish.

We operate at a high level of volume and expectation:

  • 250–330 covers per 5-hour shift
  • 180 indoor seats + 80 outdoor seats
What We Offer
  • High earning potential in a tip pool environment
  • Health insurance for full-time employees
  • Opportunity to grow with a rapidly expanding restaurant
  • Work alongside an experienced, chef-driven team
What We’re Looking For
  • Experience in high-volume, full-service restaurants
  • Ability to control tables, pacing, and guest flow
  • Strong communication and a confident presence on the floor
  • Team-oriented mindset -- this is a pooled house
  • Professionalism, urgency, and attention to detail
Expectations
  • Guide guests through a shared, coursed dining experience
  • Maintain awareness of timing, kitchen flow, and table progression
  • Build balanced orders and deliver a seamless experience
  • Support the full floor -- running food, assisting teammates, and maintaining service standards
  • Develop strong food and beverage knowledge

Dinner service currently (5pm–10pm), with lunch launching this summer.
Weekend availability required.

Apply with resume and availability.
