We’re after someone with a passion for food and drink, a natural flair for hospitality, and a drive to grow and develop. You’ll ideally have experience in a busy, fast-paced restaurant, with strong communication and service skills, and a real team-first mentality. You’re someone who can read the room, create memorable moments, and bring positive energy to every interaction. If you have some cocktail or wine knowledge—great. If not, we’ll teach you.

Delivering confident, efficient service during high-volume shifts

Maintaining an eye for detail, whether it’s table settings, pacing of service, or reading a guest’s mood
Staying curious and engaged, learning about new menu items, wines, and cocktails
Representing the Parallel vibe: warm, sharp, and effortlessly attentive

You

You’re a natural host, calm under pressure, fast on your feet, and always tuned into the guest experience.

You thrive in a place where everyone has each other’s backs and care about the finer details that turn good service into something unforgettable.
