About Shy Bird:

Shy Bird is Kendall Square’s favorite all day café, rotisserie, and bar. Our breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus consist of craveable, affordable food that celebrates the familiar while conveying genuine culinary ambition and passion. We seek to turn guests into regulars by creating memorable moments, and it all starts with our amazing team. This all culminates under a culture of ambition we call ‘All In, All Day’.

Shy Bird is seeking a Server to join the team. Servers currently earn $25-30+ per hour between hourly rate and a share of gratuities. This is an average and may vary by time of year and shifts worked.

By night, you're seating guests, opening bottles of wine, and chatting table-side. You will be trained in our food, wine, spirits and beers, helping bring these programs to life for our guests. The description below is for a Server, but everyone works side-by-side at Shy Bird, so everybody needs to be cross-trained to support one another. Chefs run food and bus tables. Counter team does dishes. Bartenders seat guests and stock plates. We all run chicken.

• Commitment to building knowledge of wine, beer and spirits
• Help pre-bus, maintain and clean the bar and dining room during service
