  • Help Wanted! Server / Kitchen Help at The Red Bud Cafe

    The Red Bud Cafe

    Prep cook job in Daytona Beach, FL

    Job Description Join the Red Bud Café Team! Are you fast on your feet, quick with a joke, and not afraid of a little heat (in the kitchen and from our regulars)? Do you love good food, good vibes, and working with a team that's more like a slightly dysfunctional but lovable family? Then we want YOU! ️ What You'll Do: Serve up delicious food with a smile (or at least a smirk). Help in the kitchen when needed-chopping, prepping, plating, and maybe even perfecting the art of flipping stuff dramatically. Keep things clean, organized, and running smoothly (or at least looking that way). Handle customers like a pro-whether they're locals who know our menu better than we do or tourists just discovering the magic of Daytona. What You Get: Competitive pay (we know rent isn't paid in “exposure”). Tips that make it worth your while (the bigger the smile, the bigger the tips-science). A fun, fast-paced environment where every day is a little different. Staff meals because we know good food fuels great service. A boss who appreciates a good work ethic and a great sense of humor. Who We Want: Someone who can hustle and keep up when the café is buzzing. A team player who can switch between front and back of house when needed. A personality! We love folks who can chat with customers and make them feel at home. Someone who can work mornings & weekends (because let's be real, that's when the magic happens). Sound like you? Come in and apply in person at Red Bud Café, Daytona Beach! Or send us a message-carrier pigeon accepted but email is probably faster. We can't wait to meet you! By applying to this job, you agree to receive periodic text messages from this employer and Homebase about your pending job application. Opt out anytime. Msg & data rates may apply. Powered by Homebase. Free employee scheduling, time clock and hiring tools.
