John's Grill has been part of the Mukilteo community since 2005, serving steaks, fresh seafood, and craft cocktails in a warm, welcoming dining room and patio. We're an independently owned restaurant with a close-knit team and a real commitment to hospitality.
We're hiring a Server / Bartender to join us for evening service.
About the role
This is a cross-trained, all-hands position. You'll take care of guests in the dining room and behind the bar, and you'll also pitch in wherever the shift needs you — bussing, running food, hosting, prep, dish, and closing duties. We're a small team, so flexibility and a willingness to help outside your station is the single most important quality we're looking for.
We share tips here. We work as a team and we get paid as a team. Helping the person next to you isn't a favor — it's how everyone earns.
Responsibilities
Greet, serve, and care for guests in the dining room, bar, and patio
Take orders, enter tickets accurately, and communicate clearly with the kitchen
Prepare and serve cocktails, wine, and beer to house standards
Learn our food, wine, whiskey, and cocktail menus well enough to guide guests
Bus, reset, and maintain tables and the bar throughout service
Assist with prep, dish, restocking, and cleaning as needed
Complete opening, side, and closing duties
Follow all WA state alcohol service and food safety requirements
What we're looking for
A positive, team-first attitude and a genuine willingness to help wherever needed
Reliability and strong communication
Ability to stay organized and calm during a busy service
Comfort learning a detailed food, wine, and cocktail program
Prior restaurant experience preferred; we'll train the right person
Must be 21 or older — no exceptions, as this role includes bar shifts
WA MAST permit and Food Worker Card required (or obtained before your first shift)
Able to stand, walk, and carry trays for a full shift
Schedule
We are open Tuesday through Saturday, evenings, 4:30 PM to 9. Weekend availability is required. Closed Sundays and Mondays — two consecutive days off every week.
Compensation
$17.13 per hour plus a share of pooled tips. Washington state requires full minimum wage in addition to tips, so tips are true earnings on top of your hourly rate. Shift meal included.
