At Astoria seafood we do things a little different than the standard procedure. Everything is ordered and paid for up front. Your job is 80% customer service with a smile. The other 20% is bringing food and drinks to the correct table. You are responsible for making sure the bathroom is presentable and stocked with soaps, tissues, and toilet paper. Experience is respected but not critical as long as you are enthusiastic and capable of handling the work load everyone has an equal opportunity. You should have thick skin. Working in NYC or just with people in general can sometimes be a little more challenging than one might expect. This is not a job for the feint of heart. It will be a lot of constant running around and as stated above you’re dealing with people so know how to handle these situations if you want this position. We are looking for confidence and positive energy. Must speak English If you speak another language it would be beneficial in the workplace but basic English is a must.
