Server- de Lazy Lizard

At de Lazy Lizard, servers are not just order takers — you are the vibe-setters of the island. You are storytellers, experience creators, problem-solvers, and sales professionals who turn a simple meal into a waterfront memory. Every table is a new opportunity, and every shift is a chance to deliver the kind of laid-back, high-energy hospitality that keeps guests coming back all summer long.

The Server is responsible for delivering prompt, accurate, upbeat, and professional food and beverage service while consistently following all company systems, service standards, policies, and procedures. Servers play the most influential role in shaping the guest experience, building loyalty, increasing sales through confident upselling, and creating a fun, welcoming, island-style atmosphere for both guests and teammates. From the first greet to the final check drop, you own your section and the experience within it. This position is ideal for individuals who thrive in fast-paced, high-volume environments and genuinely enjoy connecting with people. Successful servers at de Lazy Lizard stay calm under pressure, move with urgency, maintain a positive attitude during busy shifts, and take pride in delivering consistent excellence. You should be energetic, dependable, detail-oriented, tech-comfortable with handheld POS systems, adaptable to indoor and outdoor service areas, and always ready to step in and support the team when needed.

If you’re ready to work hard, move fast, sell confidently, and create unforgettable waterfront experiences in Ocean City, de Lazy Lizard is where you’ll want to spend your season.
