About the Role

What We're Looking For

The most successful team members at 12th Street Catering are adaptable, dependable, and excited to wear multiple hats. We don't hire "just bartenders" or "just servers"—we hire hospitality professionals who are committed to delivering exceptional guest experiences, whether they're behind the bar or on the dining floor.

If you're someone who enjoys working with great people, takes pride in your work, and understands that every event is a team effort, we'd love to meet you.

One Team. One Event. One Exceptional Experience.
