What are the responsibilities and job description for the Server position at BRUTO?
Id Est Hospitality Group operates Basta, BRUTØ, Dry Storage Bakehouse, Dry Storage Mill, Hey Kiddo, and Nonesuch.
Across Id Est, our restaurants are working parts of a larger food system. We source from regional farmers and producers, mill our own grain at Dry Storage, and use fermentation, preservation, and full-product utilization to get more from the ingredients we buy. The restaurants are where those systems are tested, applied, and improved in practice.
What BRUTØ isBRUTØ is an 18-seat chef's counter serving a multi-course tasting menu in Denver. The program centers on research, fermentation, preservation, regenerative sourcing, live fire, and full utilization.
The hearth is at the center of the kitchen, but research drives much of what makes it to the menu. STUDIØ, BRUTØ's dedicated research and development lab, gives the team a place to develop, test, and refine ideas through fermentation, workshops, and experimentation before bringing that work into the restaurant.
The kitchen is the dining room. Guests sit directly at the counter, with the culinary and hospitality teams working together in the same space throughout the experience.
As a server, you are responsible for developing a strong understanding of the menu, beverage program, ingredients, and techniques so you can speak about them with confidence. Service at BRUTØ is personal and responsive; the goal is to provide each guest with the level of context, conversation, and attention that best supports their experience.
