About us:
TOURÉ by Fredo is a new upscale European and Mediterranean bistro opening this fall on 21st Street: oysters, wine, and bistro. Raw bar, champagne wall, curated wine list, patio dining, and a Sunday brunch built to be the best in the city.
The role:
Serving at TOURÉ is guiding, not order-taking. Our menu rewards a server who can talk a guest into their first oyster, explain a crudo, and pair a glass of wine with confidence. If you can sell what you love and love learning food and wine, this is the room for you.
Responsibilities:
- Guide guests through the menu, raw bar, and wine list with genuine knowledge
- Take orders, serve food and drinks, and pace the table properly
- Recommend and upsell honestly: add-ons, pearls, wine pairings, dessert
- Process payments accurately
- Set, maintain, and reset your section to standard
- Communicate clearly with the kitchen and bar
- Support Sunday brunch and private event service
- Other duties as assigned
Qualifications:
- 1+ year serving experience; full-service or upscale dining strongly preferred
- Comfortable learning and talking about oysters, seafood, and wine (we train, you study)
- Warm, polished, and unrushed under pressure
- Evening, weekend, and Sunday brunch availability
- Basic wine or cocktail knowledge a plus; 21+ preferred for wine service
What we offer:
- Strong earning potential: upscale check averages, wine sales, and a raw bar mean real tips
- Shift meal and dining discount
- Ongoing wine, oyster, and service training you'll carry your whole career
- Opening-team status: help set the standard, grow into lead and management roles as we do
