Kitchen & Hospitality Team Member

Ethel Janes - BENDT Whiskey Kitchen
Lewisville, TX

Pay: $10/hour tip share (Team members at this position average approximately $18-20/hour including tips.)

Ethel Janes is a small, from-scratch, family-owned restaurant and cocktail lounge located in Old Town Lewisville. We're looking for someone who enjoys taking care of people just as much as they enjoy working in the kitchen.

This isn't a traditional restaurant position. Our team works together across the restaurant, so you'll spend part of your shift preparing food, part serving guests, and part helping keep everything running smoothly. If you enjoy variety and like being part of a close-knit team, we'd love to meet you.

Because we're a small team, everyone pitches in. We believe no task is beneath anyone - from baking bread and making soup to washing dishes, serving guests, and sweeping floors. We work together to create an exceptional experience.

What You'll Do

Kitchen Responsibilities

• Prepare ingredients for daily service by washing, cutting, and prepping vegetables and other fresh ingredients.
• Follow established recipes to prepare soups, salads, sandwich components, baked goods, and other menu items.
• Bake fresh bread as needed and assist with other from-scratch food preparation.
• Plate guest orders accurately and consistently.
• Maintain food quality, organization, and cleanliness throughout service.
• Wash dishes, sanitize work areas, and assist with kitchen cleaning throughout the day.

Guest Service Responsibilities

• Welcome guests with genuine hospitality
• Take food and beverage orders and enter them accurately into the point-of-sale system
• Deliver food and beverages to guests
• Check in with guests throughout their visit and provide attentive service
• Process payments and close guest tabs
• Bus and reset tables between guests
• Keep dining areas clean, stocked, and inviting

General Responsibilities

• Assist wherever needed to support the team
• Follow all food safety and sanitation procedures
• Help with opening and closing duties
• Sweep, mop, stock, organize, and maintain a clean restaurant environment

What We're Looking For

• Must be 21 years of age or older
• Previous kitchen or cooking experience required
• Comfortable following recipes and preparing food consistently
• Previous restaurant or hospitality experience preferred
• Friendly, dependable, and self-motivated
• Able to multitask in a fast-paced environment
• Comfortable standing for extended periods and lifting up to 40 pounds
• Willing to work both front-of-house and back-of-house as needed

Required Certifications

• Valid Food Handler Certificate (or ability to obtain before starting)
• Valid TABC Seller/Server Certification (or ability to obtain before starting)

About Ethel Janes

Everything we serve is made with care and attention to detail. From fresh soups and house-baked bread to craft cocktails and warm hospitality, we believe in slowing down and creating a place where guests feel at home.

If you enjoy cooking, taking care of people, and working as part of a small team where every person makes a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
