Job Description

Flora   is a Southern Italian restaurant and MICHELIN Bib Gourmand Award winner that brings the flavors of Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park to Park Slope, Brooklyn.


THIS IS A FULL TIME POSITION ONLY  

We’re looking for a kind, capable, and highly organized waiter/waitress for our Dinner and Brunch Shifts. Reporting directly to the owners, you’ll help bring our warm, deeply personal style of hospitality to our neighbors in Brooklyn. If you love Italian culture, know what great service feels like, and enjoy working with people, we’d love to hear from you.

  • Matched retirement plan to help you plan for the future
  • Paid sick leave (40 hours/year)
  • Ongoing training and development
  • Small business owners that value work-life balance, support, and integrity
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
As a Waiter/Waitress, you are the face of the restaurant on the floor. You guide the guest experience from the moment they sit down to the moment they leave — with attention, timing, and genuine hospitality, you oversees day-to-day operations, ensuring the restaurant runs smoothly from open to close.

  1. Daily Operations
    • Pre-Opening Checks: Arrive before the restaurant opens to inspect and ensure the dining areas are clean, well-maintained, and properly set up. Verify that fans and AC are set to the correct temperature, and that the entire space is comfortable for guests.
    • Facility and Equipment Checks: Inspect all indoor spaces, including refrigerators, kitchen equipment, coffee machine, dishwasher, toilets, and basement. Report any issues to the owners promptly.
    • Kitchen Preparedness: Ensure the kitchen staff is fully prepared for service and all necessary prep work is completed. Enforce DOH compliance.
    • Beverage and Stock Management: Check that all drinks, including wines, are well-stocked and properly refrigerated. Receive and supervise supplier deliveries.
    • POS Check: Verify that the point of sale system is functioning correctly.
  2. Guest Experience & Hospitality
    • Ensure consistent, high-quality service and hospitality at every guest touchpoint.
    • Handle guest complaints and feedback with professionalism and kindness.
    • Maintain ambiance, cleanliness, and safety standards throughout the restaurant.
  3. Serving/Clearing/Bartending
    • Coffee: Confidently operate and maintain the espresso machine and prepare high-quality coffee drinks to standard during service as needed.
    • Drinks: Make simple cocktails and confidently pour and serve wine during service as needed.
    • Serving/Table Resetting: Run plates and reset tables as needed.
  4. Brand Representation & Culture
    • Menu and Wine Knowledge: Develop an extensive knowledge of the restaurant's menu items and wine list to provide recommendations and answer customer inquiries.
    • Flora’s Philosophy: Become well-versed in the philosophy of the Flora brand, ensuring it’s reflected in all aspects of service.

WHO YOU ARE:

  • You’re calm under pressure and highly organized
  • You care about people: your team and guests alike
  • You have excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • You understand what makes a restaurant feel like a great experience and how to maintain that atmosphere
  • You’re not above any task (serving, clearing, bartending) and know that details matter
  • You have appreciation and in-depth knowledge of Italian food, drinks, and culture
  • You’re familiar with POS systems and restaurant tools (we use Resy)
  • You hold a valid NYC Food Handler Certificate
