Can you make things as nice as these?

**PLEASE READ ENTIRE JOB POSTING SO YOU ARE AWARE OF OUR EXPECTATIONS**

Pay is on a case-by-case basis depending on experience, and would be topped up with tipout after a probationary period, (usually $1.50-$4+ per hour depending on sales volume).

The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro is looking for up to two bright and personable Experienced Line Cooks that are ready to start a long-term position with us and become part of our WORKS family.

The ideal candidate is able to exhibit and give detailed examples of the following skills:

Organizational Skills
Ability to Handle High Stress Environments
Curiosity and Desire to Learn More
Physical Stamina and Ability to Lift 40 lbs on Occasion
Creativity
Attention to Detail
High cleanliness standards
The ideal candidate has great availability including days/nights, weekday/weekends and most holidays.

You will have an extensive menu to learn and retain, as well as a commitment to high standards... the people who take shortcuts usually don't last long.

Good communication is a must, as well as the ability to keep busy during off-peak hours and totally crush it during the lunch and dinner rushes.

Reasons TO apply

You’re looking for a place where you can “belong” among your hardworking peers, and contribute in a meaningful way to a small business
You’re looking for fast-paced work where good performance = hours
You’re looking for a place of employment that gives back the respect that’s given.
You’re interested in developing your culinary skills or restaurant knowledge

You are ONLY interested in showing up for a paycheck. We are looking for someone who truly cares and integrates themselves with our brand
You have a massive ego that can't be tamed
You can’t work weekends
You can’t work Sundays
You don’t think a relationship with the Front of House is important (there are no FOH vs BOH battles here, and we like it that way).
You don’t read job descriptions thoroughly and decide to apply anyway. Wait did you actually read this? You’re ahead of the game!!
****Food Safety certificate is not mandatory but preferred. A plan to challenge the test if you do not currently possess food safety certifications helps to show your commitment to this role****

We're looking for some great, experienced servers to take care of the best guests in Brantford!

If interested, email your resume and tell us why you might be a fit to [email protected]. No calls please.

$17.60 per hour (plus gratuities when you're all trained and set!)

Are you an experienced server with open availability, and a dazzling personality? Then read on...

The WORKS is looking to fill up to two serving positions for an upcoming busy time.

We are looking for somebody with open availability in the fall/winter (lunch and dinner availability required). Weekend availability is a must, especially Sundays.

Why The WORKS? Well... have you tried our food? And experienced our staff? We strive for top performance for REAL, we don't just write it down and hope it comes true. You will be working among the best of the best AND we close at 10pm every night, so you can actually go out after working on a Friday night because that's when the party's just getting started! (Or you can be like me, and think "Woo hoo, bedtime!") You want hours? We dole 'em out based on performance, so if you've got what it takes, we're all over it: AVAILABILITY, APTITUDE & THE RIGHT ATTITUDE TO SERVE THE BEST BURGERS, BREWS & BBQ TO THE BEST GUESTS IN TOWN.

Qualifications:

- Experience in a full-service restaurant

- The ability to talk... a lot :) There's a lot of burgers to talk about, and we wanna see your confidence shine! You MUST be able to hold a conversation with anybody, confidence is an absolute must.

- Natural salesmanship. Do you find you're passionate about things you like and love to talk about it? You don't need to have worked at a car dealership to meet this requirement, just a natural love to recommend.

- Great availability, especially weekends and especially Sunday.

- The ability to remain busy; restaurants have volatile levels of volume, can you stay busy with minimal direction during off-peak times, and then suddenly do 100 things at once if a party of 10, 5, and 3 tables of 4 walk in?

- Servers: Smart Serve is a requirement before you can start

- First aid and/or Health & Safety training is not a requirement, but is an asset

We don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did, as long as you ---- are awesome and a good person. On the flip side, if you've got a problem with who people are, where they're from or what they did, please don't apply. We don't want yo negativity!

Send us a resume detailing why 'you da best', and well.. we'll cross our fingers for you ;o)

Alternatively, feel free to pop by the restaurant with resume in hand during NON-PEAK times (if you don't get this right... that's the first test!) and drop one off!

Job Type: Part-time

Benefits: Discounted or free food

***Free Trivia Answer for Hellfire Eve Battle of Wits - Team Trivia: Tom Green or 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon

Some special guests will be in attendance for the Hellfire Club - Brantford Chapter Nerdy Trivia for Soup for the Soul this Friday, August 21st - starting at 7pm sharp at The WORKS Craft Burgers & B**r - Brantford...

These entree items will be available for dine-in only from 4:30pm to close on Friday and you can purchase them to enjoy whether you're showing off your Geek smarts or not!

We couldn't host an event like this without the Get Baked poutine: a hefty serving of our fresh cut fries, topped with gravy, cheddar & jack cheese, chopped bacon, sour cream and green onions.

For those who will be "just eating a salad", our All Dressed Cheeseburger Salad is back for one night only! Fresh greens, diced tomatoes, PICKLES, cheddar & jack cheese, crispy onion tanglers and topped off the best way: with our famous 8oz beef patty. Served with our house made W burger sauce for dressing. This is mostly technically a diet meal.

And our feature burger...

Forged in the fire by Matt Doom (proud owner & proprietor of The Works): The One Ring.

Your choice of Works-sized patty topped with our new BBQ brisket, one of our amazing crispy onion rings and set off with Queso Cheese. Words do not do it justice. Try getting this one away from Gollum.

Tickets for individuals ($10) or your own greatest four brainiac team ($40) are available at www.sidequester.ca.

The Works is also giving away one of the Trivia answers for the contest tonight... This one goes out to our Burgerheads...

QUESTION: The John Candy is one of the famous burgers on our menu. What is one of the other celebrity-named burgers that is currently on our menu?

We'll let you play amongst yourselves below and announce the sizzling answer at 9am tomorrow. We're also going to draw a winner of two free individual tickets from the correct answers before we give it away and heck, throw in a couple of our housemade shakes for you to enjoy at the event. Watch out for the brain freeze!
