Server – The Tiki Terrace (Des Plaines, IL)

Hello from The Tiki Terrace. We are a super unique dinner and show environment looking to hire a friendly, organized person who can thrive in a fast-paced setting. We put on luau-style dinner shows multiple nights per week, along with regular restaurant service on select days, so this is not your typical serving job. This is a high-energy, team-driven environment where timing, communication, and attitude matter.

Schedule:
- Must be available Tuesdays and Thursdays (non-negotiable)
- Dinner shows run Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with shifts going later into the evening
- Typical start time is around 3:00 PM (may vary slightly depending on the day)
- We are closed Sundays and Mondays, with occasional Sunday events throughout the year

What We’re Looking For:
- Friendly, positive, and team-oriented personality
- Strong organizational and multitasking skills
- Ability to handle a fast-paced environment with large party service
- Fluent English required; second language is a plus
- Cash handling experience required
- Must be reliable and consistent with scheduling

What the Job Is Like:
- We often serve large groups all at once during our dinner shows, so comfort with high-volume service is important
- Everyone works together and helps each other out—this is a true team environment
- You’ll be part of a structured but fun service style that blends dining with live entertainment
- You’ll learn about tiki cocktails, Hawaiian cuisine, and Polynesian culture

About Us:
The Tiki Terrace is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. We host live Polynesian dinner shows, operate a busy catering program, and run a Hawaiian food truck throughout the season. Our staff takes pride in creating a fun, memorable atmosphere for guests while also maintaining strong service standards.

Why Join Us:
- Great team environment where people genuinely enjoy working together
- Opportunity to make solid money in a fun, high-energy setting
- Unique concept that stands out from typical restaurant jobs
- Consistent scheduling for the right candidate

Important Notes:
- Please do not apply if you are not available on Tuesdays and Thursdays
- Please do not apply if you are planning extended time off during the summer
- This is not a temporary or summer-only position—we are looking for long-term team members

Interested:
We would love to train you, get to know you, and see if it’s a great fit for both you and The Tiki Terrace. Please apply or reach out to set up an interview.
